[QUOTE="Joe, post: 400919, member: 440"] I think valuation threads can definitely play a part in things depending on the valuations that are given. I know if I see someone give a valuation that is far too high (at least in my opinion) then I'll try to correct that or post a lower valuation based on previous sales/how common something is. Crazy asking prices contribute too, especially when they aren't opposed or discussed. You see many "great price" comments on FB when in reality the price is usually higher than you might find on eBay..but saying so publicly could get you in hot water. It's hard to politely inform potential buyers that a seller is smoking something with his prices in a hobby where things are moving so quickly that nobody wants to lose out on (Even if they don't truly understand it's rarity or have a grasp on market values). Sometimes saying nothing is just as bad too, there was an instance recently where someone picked up a figure for a fair price from a contact I had yet didn't say anything when they saw someone else list the same figure in worse condition for almost double in a group that they are part of. If it were me I would have said something like "you might be a bit high, I've just bought one for x amount but good luck". I don't know, my list of gripes with this hobby is longer than my wants list these days :lol: :roll: [/QUOTE]
