trading points

[goldluster]

does any one want to see a trade point worth? I know i do. I'd like to see more people understand how much the characters are worth so we don't see a lot of newbies getting ripped off just because they don't know who's good and how much the figure is worth.there could be i'd say around 50 stages. 1 the lowest like a thug and 50 being the highest like a le ant man. what do you guys think? more numbers or less? Of coarse only the really hard figures to get would have 50 like le antman and le yellow jacket

so if you wanted to trade someone like nightcrawler for a bunch of veterans you could tally up the points to see if its fair or not. Of coarse some people won't like it because they may think that the trade price is way to high. wa wa wa call the waaaambulance! Or they could update the points on a sight so that people will not be too upset if the figure is too overcosted for trading. they could complain all they want so they will change the points you could make the trade fair by equeling the amont of points on each side.

I got ripped off once and i felt really stupid after a few days later cause i figured out that the trade was bs

I usually check the stats in the myRealms section and the Warriors section to guage relative rarity #'s, $ amounts, and Stat charts for comparative playability.

There's no real scale. How many rookie blobs would you trade for a Nightcrawler? There may not have been enough rookie blobs manufactured to answer that question. Any "point" scale will have this flaw at some level or another.

Its a fairly cloudy issue.
Many compare rarity level. (but it's not perfect)
Completed sales on ebay could also be used as a guide. (but there are crazy people bidding on items out there).

But what it boils down to is personal value.

If I'm trading for my favorite figure in the world, because of sentimental value, and I have few other options of how to get it, none of the above really matters. I'll do what I need to do.

It must be a personal assessment. This isn't a CCG with Scry prices. ;-)

As I buy on ebay sometimes, if I needed a scale I would compare to what it would cost me to get the figures on ebay, compared to what I paid on ebay to get the figures I'm trading away. But I'm more likely to trade on recognition value.
