If you keep up with card prices I'm sure everyone has noticed the prices on a lot of reserved list cards have been fluctuating a lot lately due to buyouts and demand. This makes things very confusing when trading on this site but very exciting from a collectors stand point. On of hand most people, including myself, trade on median prices which could triple in price over night or drop by just as much.
While I used to find the median price to be the fairest way to trade I'm not sure I still believe that, but I don't want to screw other people out of a buyout that was actually justified.
What's everyone think about these buyouts in general and for trading? Do you think we are in a bubble that's going to bust soon?
I know that, that's not the point of this thread. It was more of a topic on artificial inflation, and what do you price trades at during hyper inflation like buyouts, and is this the bubble that will pop and crash the economy of magic.

reserve list price increases effect a very small percentage of the magic player base. it sucks, dont get me wrong. im part of that player base lol. its not gonna kill the mtg economy though.

theres nothing that can be done really. whatever the price is when you buy/sell them, thats the price you buy/sell them for.
