It is just not possible to do that in FB, Tik Tok, etc...

I have been asked countless times that X sold for Y in a deal. I have no way of verifying anything. So am I just suppose to trust everyone to report it back to me and just post.

What would stop you from saying it cost your $10K and it reality cost you $3K and I post it. Now you have a comp and your willing to selling for 1/2 of VCP average...

Sorry but I would not put much trust in a model like you suggest.
That was mostly the model for price guides back in the day. They collected sales info, but from dealers they trusted. It was common to have at least a month of cards being available before it got into Beckett or any other guide. Then there was the month of complaining how the initial priced were way off.

Stuff like what you do may have flaws, but I think it's more reliable for more expensive cards
