I could also say that the value to me is only 30 USD as that all I am willing to spend but I have one so that's not why I put 30 down
I do hope your not offended but if you are then I shall limit myself to not posting anything that anyone could find helpful or unhelpful in any way
Edit it may be worth more as a complete set but by complete do you mean seven steel books and seven necklaces and 10 mini flags or complete as in the bundle that already exists?
Lol... I was no offend in the least.

Just having a discussion about a disagreement on how to do value.

Just having a discussion.
Its hard to tell on the internet so I put that out there before it got too aggressive/ violent /negative
I can see people don't like my valuations I've had a few people moan about them
But the way I see it
The market value isn't the highest bid something sells for in an auction
Its the value of the second highest bidder before the highest bidder bids as once the highest bidder has the one he just won
Then the second highest bidder does not need to bid that high again as the next time he will be the highest bidder and seeing as most people ask as they want to know what they could sell "item" for today, and not the long term what will it be "worth" in a month or 12

Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

So technically it is worth what the final bidder's high bid was... technically. Because he was willing to pay that much for it.

Auctions are the worst form of telling the worth of something. I had an item with 30 watchers only sell for $26 (which was $6 over the starting price)... then a week later they were selling for $50 or more, so not a good way of telling value.

I am basically saying grabbing at the lowest auctions (and subtracting seller fess) and saying that is what it is worth is just plain wrong... there are a ton of factors that play into what something may be worth at that time.

For example if I wait and sell this when the new AC launches I could easily double the value of it. This is only one small factor... there happen to be many.

I wasnt grabbing the lowest auctions
I have only seen those items sell for those values in the past 2 months as stated

But to me worth is not highest biddest highest bid as the next auction along the highest bidder won't be bidding so its the second highest bidders bid that is the best predictable price for the next sale

i am with lowly on this if you ask for a value dont get offended if someone gives you a value, lowly does not lowball in the hope of buying

let people give their value and make your OWN educated decision

as if you have seen the necklace in a box go for 50 usd many times why ask?
