Pricing Failure
TappedOut forum

Several pricing error on the sites:
- Sometiems the price for my deck gets stuck for more than 24 hours. Slightly annoying.
- The price that it lists doesn't match the one when you click the link. Dismember supposedly cost 99 cents but if you go the site it costs 6 dollars instead.
- No offense, but the site you chose is horrible. http://magic.tcgplayer.com offers prices from over 30 stores and always, and I mean ALWAYS, has at least one price cheaper. Also, they bundle ship from their site, usually for free, so it;s not like you'd have to order from a whole bunch of different stores.

Okay yea, horrible was a pretty bad word. It's just that I put DIsmember in a lot of my deck think it was a dollar than I go to make my decks and I find out it's 6 dollars and I try to build on a tight budget.

Yeah. Some of those utility cards that are commons and uncommons can really creep up in price without warning.
I remember when Inquisition of kozilek was around a dollar and then it exploded.
Unfortunately there is no way to prevent that. Good utility cards are always going to go up in value---because people will pay for them.
So really it is all of our faults for driving up the prices. haha

I find the prices of my decks to be irrelevent in the end.
I either need the cards or I don't.
Someone else at one point had asked for a feature that allowed them to customer what information they saw on their page.
Maybe T/O can eventually devise a way to allow you to "turn-off" deck pricing so it doesn't annoy you anymore.
Of course, there are many changes and updates happening currently so you may have to wait.
I'm sure this could be added to a laudry list of possibilities, but you will have to allow for what is humanly possible.
I'd venture to say that all of us are lucky to have such a fantastic site that allows great deck service, despite whatever flaws people want to point out. I'm not saying your gripe is illegitimate, but maybe some tact is called for.
For instance: whenever someone says "no offense..." and then lists a complaint indicating something somebody has done is "horrible", what is really meant is an offense (even if slight). I know it sounds psychological, because it is. I unintentionally do it all the time. Human nature.
