I'll still pick up a Beckett from time to time (usually the Vintage Collector one) for the articles and I'll scan the book values on cards I have to see how accurate they are against recent actual sales. But this is out of mere curiosity more than anything else. I don't take BV into account when buying/selling anything though.
Usually when I sell something (which is almost always a low grade card) I look for recent comps and then just decide what I'm willing to take to part with the card. If it sells, great, if not then I'll just hold onto it a bit longer.
