Book prices are way too inconsistent for the most part, many too high others way to low, I know on exhibits, there are a number of sets I would gladly pay 5 x smr for NM copies and others I can barely sell for 40% of smr.
I do have my own ebay store that I sell dupes and other cards and I do know that when you price below market your cards sell quick, price a bit higher and you can wait up to a year but it will sell and you will get your price. Price it too high and it will just sit there, I know some cards that have been listed with the same high price since 2006 and the market is over half off. Odds are they will not sell it but im sure they figure it only cost $2.40 or less a year to list and is peanuts on a $1000+ card. I have some scarce exhibits listed and they take a while to sell as I imagine others are waiting to see if one comes up for auction to grab a lot cheaper but when that wait can be up to 20 years sometimes they just decide to buy the card.
