So I can display TCG player prices on the site. They give me 'High' 'Avg' 'Low' prices.
I want some opinions from everyone about what would be helpful? Do you want to be able to choose TCG vs CoolStuff on which price is used to calculate your deck or binder?
Do you like one more than the other? What what what, tell me!
So you would want to see all of them on your decks? Not just avg?

Yeah actually. It really depends on what I am doing with a deck as to which price I want to see. So having all 3 would be useful. Well, to be honest high tends to be worthless, but medium and low are good.

Most traders, myself included, use the average prices from TCGP.

besides, coolstuffinc usually has prices that are higher than most, and when it doesn't have a card in stock, it counts as 0. thusly, Imperial Seal costs 0 dollars. which is wrong lol

Okay, now that I got you all here:
What about a quick trade-checker. Left pane your cards. Right pane their cards. Cool or dumb?

Cool. You'd have to be able to handle foreign/foil prices or include a note that they aren't accounted for though.

Okay, so stricter checking rather than fallback. Good input.
So as for TCG player - which price do you guys use? is AVG ok or do you want the whole spread?

Feel free to provide the whole spread (it won't go unappreciated), but as far as most users are concerned the avg prices are sufficient.

Ya, i have to agree, the site i use is magiccards.info but they are virtually and literally the same price as tcg. But average is fine, as i dont think many people who trade using this site want to use the low price, but either way it'll make the site better.

Personally, I like the Avg and Low TCGPlayer pricing, but I only truly care about the lowest price for Near Mint or Lightly Played conditions, which usually ends up between Avg and Low.

You might include a condition box for each card, where selecting lower qualities would result in a default to the low price for that card...

Avg. Price for card would be very, very helpful. I also agree on tcgplayer.com

I think that having at least the avg. price would be fantastic!

I would personally prefer the high - med - low from TCGplayer.
