Hasbro Price Guide 2018 Question

Exactly, price guides are useless and overrated... Just look up sold items on ebay and calculate the estimate... Prices rise and fall.

The price they sell for on ebay is your price guide. EBay has millions of members so that guide reaches far more people than a written one on a wrestling figure forum
It's also ridiculous to think that a guide could ever change the price things sell for, something sells for as much as another is willing to pay. Particularly with auctions, there is no ceilig to an auction except the maximum bid. Sorry if I sound harsh but it's a ridiculous idea

Thanks for the input guys! Like I said mainly just curious/conversation starter. I was wondering if that would deter people from listing crazy asking prices, like a berzerker for over $200 lol Anyways, I value the input from you all thank you

But how would me telling this forum that Berzerker was worth £5 stop someone who wants to sell theirs from listing it for whatever they like?
Like I said, sold prices are your price guide, it doesn't stop some people listing a £1 Jake the Snake for £10

I always liked price guides, and it helps new people know what might be too high to pay, so maybe they don't get burned by people that seek out marks. If you had a price guide, with maybe a count of hiw many pieces of the piece exisr, maybe it could help regulate the insanity that the bay and vultures have made.

eBay sold listings done... Can I get paid for it?

I know buyers bid, I guess I was more talking scalpers with insane openers, or to help people know when a bid has gone too high, and to stop chasing something that will come along again. Granted this is not directed towards something like a proto, but rather regular line pieces.

I apologize, wasn't trying to offend. I was just clarifying my statement. I was just talking about selling way over a price point, of which a price guide could help clarify... scalpers might have been the wrong word. I will leave the thread alone.

First of; there's no such thing as a going rate.

Let's take U.S. card Hasbro WWF Ultimate Warrior 3 as an example. He sells for $150 in one auction, for $117 in another and for $382 in another one. What's your going rate? $382, $117 or $150? Is your going rate the average: $216.33? Now let's say someone has a Hasbro WWF Ultimate Warrior 3 U.S. card, sees the one that sold for $382 and thinks, heck I sell mine with a BIN of $450! Some desperate buyer even pays the $450. Is the going rate $450 now? What if a guy who knows nothing about Hasbro WWF figures puts on a Hasbro WWF Ultimate Warrior 3 U.S. card with a very vague title and sells it eventually for $65? Is that the going rate now? What if a guy puts one up for $1,199 but eventually accepts an offer we don't see, say $499?

These things happen: sellers who think they own solid gold and try to sell for $1000+ (and eventually settle for a lower unknown offer) and sellers who don't know what they have and sell way below the average price.

In the end a Hasbro WWF is a mass produced item with constantly fluctuating value.

That's why price guides are a waste and going rates don't exist.
