TCG Player Prices

Hello,

This is only a quick post! I've just added TCG Player pricing to the ViewCard and ViewCard_Popup pages. We've replaced BidWicket with it, but if we get feedback that BidWicket was much better, we can quickly switch back if necessary.

TCG Player seems to offer more stores, more cards and actually has a good API instead of loading from Javascript, so there should be less "hanging" on the card pages.

If you notice anything fishy, please let me know. It is 23:34 here in the UK and my 1yr old son will probably wake me up in 5hrs, so I am a bit sleepy :P

Cheers

Ian

The hi-mid-low prices are above the image, the other prices are at the bottom of the page. It could be that the card you are looking at has no data, therefore it shows nothing :p what card was it?

I've added a little box under the main deck on the view deck page that shows the estimated total value of a deck. It adds up all the card price data we have on each card that we collect daily from TCG Player. At the moment I'm showing low, mid and high estimates, nothing is set in stone and there's plenty of scope to play around with this feature.

Let me know if the prices are around the right mark, will be interesting to find out! :)

Looks great, and from what I've seen, the prices seem pretty spot-on. However, I've been having issues viewing some of my decks...not sure if the two are related =/

All the same, I love this addition so far =]

Hah no worries - I started going through your decks and the fourth one down was broken, so it was an easy find :p

Fixed that issue now, so all those decks should work.

Added a card by card breakdown page now!

If a value shows as 0.00, then at the minute, it means no one is selling one via tcgplayer, so we have no prices unfortunately! I will change that soon so it shows N/A or something, but for now, least it shows zero :p

This is great guys, seriously. I was just gonna say there's a few 0.00 things that threw me off at first (Black Lotus for $0.00?!), but I figured that it was something like that.

I second that. I really like this deck pricing guide. Keep up the good work! :-)

i love the new addition for pricing but i realized that the breakdown option is a little bit off. the totals are backwards and ill explain with this diagram top line being the pricing of cards and bottom being the total value of the deck

i am also curious are you going to incorperate this mechanic on the other vaults like wow vault for that would be a great thing to have :)

Will take a look at the backwards thing tom. We'll be adding this functionality to wowtcgvault soon, we are collecting the data so just need to add it in! I may take a look Tom night :)

This was my fault when I changed the order and the alignment/layout etc, I forgot to change the order of the totals too! Should be fixed now, sorry about that! :o

I'm a bit late -- haven't visited the news forum for a while, but this is the feature I've been waiting for :D I really like it!

Tangent: Just noticed a "Deck Comments Inbox" in my My Account toolbox. If it is what I think it is, love that idea too ^_^
