Considering Buyer's Premium into Values of Cards / Memorabilia

[Jlighter]

When I put price paid into my spreadsheet I include the buyers premium, not shipping though

I consider both BP and shipping, esp. if the item is low cost and the shipping is considerable. Doesn't make sense to me to cost an item at $5 when shipping added $3 to it. To me that is a $8 item.

I include buyer's premium but not shipping when I record the card purchase in my excel spreadsheets.

Scott brings up an interesting point there...VCP includes the buyer's premium from auction houses, but eBay doesn't have BP and is included in VCP. Does that skew values at all (since a lot of eBay collectors don't use or, I'd bet, even know about a lot of these auction houses)?

The final cost to buyer (minus shipping obviously) is all that matters. How it's arrived at (ebay vs buyer's premium) is irrelevant.

From a seller's point of view, they need to take into account all premiums when deciding how to sell their cards... but that's another issue completely.
