I don't really use it for pricing information. But I don't really care about pricing information all that much. I just want other people to be able to find the cards that I have that they want and vice versa as easily as possible.skoormithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297504834792748549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961123822696865597.post-61594598730596555632009-08-06T14:51:43.061-04:002009-08-06T14:51:43.061-04:00I also am slowly uploading my collection to Zistle...I also am slowly uploading my collection to Zistle. I like it, and find it useful. I will also second the comment on checklists. The checklists are lacking, but I find myself concentrating on filling in the holes in the set checklist before adding my cards. When I add my cards I will fill in the team name field (if it is empty) for most sets, unless it is a Fleer set.<br /><br />I will comment on value with the same thing I tell everyone else. My collection is only worth what someone is willign to pay for it.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217827063741767040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961123822696865597.post-79582901695809280482009-08-06T13:23:47.429-04:002009-08-06T13:23:47.429-04:00Here here!

I agree that these things are relative to the people trading, although there is certainly a market price (eBay) out there as a benchmark. More importantly, having just started out on Zistle, it is a fun way to organize my collection, make trading easier and keep track of things. My biggest complaint is that their checklists are severely lacking and are mostly user generated. If they could find a way to get the checklists straight from the companies--they way that beckett does--then it would be killer. In the meantime, I'll keep uploading my cards little by little to do my part. I encourage everyone to at least go there and check it out.Grand Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658028013441039898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961123822696865597.post-82287668940833093602009-08-06T12:25:54.752-04:002009-08-06T12:25:54.752-04:00I have never used either Beckett or Zistle and I t...I have never used either Beckett or Zistle and I think I am much happier for it... I like to trade cards that I don't have for cards that I do... If you are trading a 1:4 pull for a 1:4 pull, I don't see the need to get price guides involved... Thats just me. When I go in the card shop and ask for the price on a card, he always says something like, well it books for 30-well how much is it?Collective Trollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214312372172286275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961123822696865597.post-3416859097589715782009-08-06T11:46:25.773-04:002009-08-06T11:46:25.773-04:00Zistle is great.

That is, only for relative values. The people I trade with locally use it to make sure that everyone is getting fair value. I understand it and use it to, just so that no one gets shafted.</i><br /><br />This argument makes no sense, as many people understand that two cards that book for 50 bucks may sell for 10 and 20 dollars respectively. <br /><br />The issue remains, Beckett tries to assign a static price to a dynamic value. That will never work. Something is only worth what someone else will pay for it, bottom line.Gellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819780003574759214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961123822696865597.post-77933232560577049672009-08-06T11:08:50.696-04:002009-08-06T11:08:50.696-04:00How is Zistle's pricing any better than Becket...How is Zistle's pricing any better than Beckett's if you don't know where they get their data?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961123822696865597.post-28678286270529058572009-08-06T11:03:30.025-04:002009-08-06T11:03:30.025-04:00not to mention that Zistle has never, ever, frozen...not to mention that Zistle has never, ever, frozen or crashed anyone's browser.....<br /><br />sound familiar beckett users?Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.com
