Ok, so, it seems that time and time again here I see posts with people saying "Pin XXXX doesnt REALLY go for that, I have a friend that got it for XXXX"
I have found guides like bostonpinbiz.com and pinside to be very helpful (and GENERALLY very close) to what I ultimately have bought and sold pins for.
The ebay data gathered on boston pin collects all pins, sorts high and low and then throws out extreme outliers to help adjust for junk pins and shill auctions. It seems like that would give a reasonable average since some pins on ebay are mint and some are crap...Clearly ebay leans towards more retail pricing so take their pricing, adjust it 20% down and it seems pretty damn spot on...
So, what am I missing? Why dont peope 'believe' aggregated sales data about what pins go for?
