VCP is a tool, not a rule, a snapshot of what an average card sold for at a specific time. It is actually a deflationary force if used as a rule because if you refuse to pay more than VCP, you will only buy at or below VCP. That means the next guy who follows the rule will use your sale as a benchmark and so on, which stagnates at best. I think of it more as an idea of what something has sold for, so that I don't wildly overpay.
