Thank you for your response but i don't quite understand all of your responses. I am a bit turned off by some of them as well.

Pt 3: You still split up the T206 set in a way that makes no sense. If someone was to split the set up the logical way to do it would be into 3 parts (the monster). Nobody would argue your point about the backs. Since your software gets screwed you should consider changing the software not the checklist.

Pt 4: Okay, fine but i was talking about the site today. You can't ignore what they will do, but you can't say your product is better because you are going to have a feature a competitor already has. CardPricer.com mentions something about their checklist browser. It's not working, so i'm not going to give them kudos for it.

pt 5: i don't know a lot about this but I find that hard to believe. Your forum says how many members you have. I looked at the list. The #s stated in the article aren't even close. You look like a liar or you make that news source look bad. I'm not saying you don't have those numbers i just think that if you are going to say something have the ability to back it up.

Good point but the 51 sets account for 500,000 transactions. That's roughly 1/12 of all transactions on eBay. That's a pretty good chunk of information. Why is having more sets with less information better?

If your stats are correct, about 185 transactions/set. That seems low. If t206 accounted for 10,000 transactions, your other sets are running thin. I have browsed through most of the priced sets on cardpricer.com, most cards have information.

I can't imagine that you read every transaction on ebay.com. If you are deciphering the listings manually that is incredibly time consuming. I said you linking to eBay definitely helps. Cardpricer.com doesn't do that. Anyone know how CardPricer gets their information & how/if they verify it?

I don't think anyone would expect you to put private sales into your guide. It's hard for you to pat yourself on the back if it's something that everyone does. Do beckett and that big book that comes out every year put private sales in?

I am not sure how CardPricer.com deals with raw prices. But if you look at a scan, do you always know if it "real". The way you do it seems subjective to me. I don see anything on your site about a free trial.

Neither you or cardpricer.com has earned my money and i don't see any reason for that to change yet. I really like the idea that you guys let people value up your collection totals. I don't have that on my collection at cardpricer.com. i like how you can edit a bunch of details about your purchase there. There are so many choices for tracking your collection, i'm not sure how much i'll use either of these sites for that, But again, both products have their strengths and their weaknesses.
