Your thoughts on BrewDex.com

I think that a few traders should send me $65 more worth of beer for the Ghoulschips I traded for for $10 like a sucker!...

 

Shipping and handling maybe? Cost $44 to send it to the great city of Chicago (gotta love sales tax)

 

That website was ABSOLUTELY set up by some one that is active on Ba.
But they were totally trolling with it.

 

Seems like too much work for a troll...unless they're SUPER-TROLLIN'.

 

Had this happen too lol.

I am not going to say brewdex is completely useless, but I personally don't find it accurate at all. Unfortunately, I can totally see that in the future, someone trying to trade their barrel aged- DL is going to tell me "but according to brewdex, my barrel aged DL is worth $xxxxx". Thats going to be sad.

I believe they got most of their data from ebay- where everyone sets ridiculous prices for their dark lords in order to rip people off. Before I buy into their numbers, I realy want to see how they come up with those numbers. Just because they see 50 listings of barrel aged dark lord for an average of $300, are they going to conclude that $300 is the market price? I wish they calculate the market price from transactions that actually occurred, instead of just "but it now" prices of some current listings.

 

ISO: 2x Depuration FT: '89 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card

eerily relevant...
"When Griffey welcomed collectors to the very first Upper Deck set, investment was just about to trump fun in the card world. Kids had started putting their collections in plastic sheets and hard cases rather than bicycle spokes and shoe boxes, and investors would cross-check every card picked from a pack against the latest issue of Beckett's price guide. It was in this environment that Upper Deck launched in 1989 as the first premium baseball card, protected from the threat of counterfeiting with a hologram on each card, protected from the stain of the wax pack thanks to its unprecedented foil wrappers. There was no gum included, and packs cost an industry-high $1. Baseball cards were serious business."
