Hey Wolfe13! This thread caught my eye because of our current trade negotiations. Turns out it's your thread!
My answer to this question may surprise you, especially since our trade seems to be leaning towards a BGG market value in my favor. I put a lot of stock in the BGG market. Yes, there are people who I'd say charge too much for a game, but the truth is I can't hold too much against them if they're actually able to sell it for the inflated price. The market dictates the value. If it sells, then clearly the seller judged the market correctly. Luckily, you can check what a game has sold for in the past, not just the prices people have -attempted- to get for them. Maybe I'm a little biased. Check my sales history and you'll see I've made a profit off some rare games in the past. When I trade games I will take their rarity into account almost every time. There have been exceptions, like when there's a new game that I MUST get my hands on (Super Dungeon Explore- I'm looking at you...) When it comes down to it- if I was trading with a close personal friend, I wouldn't care if my game was worth more than his, especially If I was trading something I don't play much and I know he would enjoy it. Here on BGG, it's more of a business. These aren't people you'll likely get the chance to sit down and play a game with. You've got to decide what kind of balance you like in your trades. Either way, try not to sweat it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
