| Well, the title says it all - how are traders judging the value of minis now? I was pondering a trade with a member and couldn't find the online price guide.Â
The only reference to trade values that I saw was an eBay buy it now and auction price guide from last July. I know that the last online price guide that
Madda did was back in December, and that was fine to use for the first few months of 2008, but what are traders using now? I see that trades are still
being made; perhaps they are using current buy it now or auction prices that they are averaging themselves... | |

| | I've been using Auggie's or cheapest BiN on ebay...bit of a pain for large trades though. | |
The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

| | Well for most of the older minis, the prices have been pretty stable for some time in the guide so anything from the earlier sets (first 8 or so) can probably be considered still reasonably valid. New sets tend to flucuate a lot more as the relative nature and value of the minis settles in. Rarely if you are using one of the reasonable vendors as a baseline for "value" would you be too far off. | |

| | Really Stephen? I don't find buy sites at all helpful...the prices are always very low (obviously, the ppl buyin 'em expect to make a profit when they sell)... | |

The point would be not for "absolute value" but for relative value.Â
IF the buy sute offers you $2 for Mini X and $4 for mini Y, then it is reasonable to conclude that the relative value is 2 to 1 for trading purposes. The values in the price guides were just the averages of the selling prices from those sites. So again the RELATIVE values are what always were important. | |

Most of my loose buys are from Auggie's.
