I hate to pick at an old scab, and I swear I understand that pricing on this site shouldn't be taken as gold, but can we please restrict various individuals who are chronic abusers of posting ridiculous prices.  I don't want to call names, but almost all modern football sets are so badly mispriced.  I am inputting my 2016 Donruss football, and apparently, I hit the jackpot.  It looks like I should have paid $2,500 for the box I bought for $24.  Almost every single rookie is near double digits.  The Zeke Elliott rookie is $40 and the Wentz is $32.50.

It is the same two individuals exclusively posting these prices on all modern footballn cards.  I am not sure if they are from Mexico and inputting these prices in pesos, but come on.  It really distorts the site and abuses one of the features that really can acccentuate the site.  Inaccurate pricing is one thing if it is even somewhat close, but seriously.  I can only hope that somehow these were misunderstood input errors.  Adding info to this site should be considered a privilage, and should people should be somewaht responsible when posting information that is going to effect so many on the site.

I know it would be a great burden, but maybe only a select few individuals should be allowed to "approve" pricing prior to it posting on the site.  This wouldn't be foolproof, but it would have to help.  I think this box of Donruss cards just increased my football collection by about $7,000.

I apologize for my rant, it is late and I am tired, so I will probably regret this, since I have never complained about anything really on the site.  It is just getting frustrating because if nothing else, I would like the pricing to at least help me identify cards I should consider looking into and maybe putting in a top loader and I cannot because every single rated rookieis $8 or $9.

Oh please fix the pricing on these.  It was really bugging me and I think some thought they were really worth that amount when I was trading for some Lions.

Pricing should be limited to those with more than 30 days as an active member.   No more one hit wonders.

I enter quite a bit of pricing usually based on what I purchase something for on eBay. There are certain people like you said that seem to way overstate everything. I always wonder if they really paid $6 for a card I just bought for a quarter lol. Unfortunately after I enter my price the card is still overvalued by almost $3.

Both members with very similar names.  Both posting the exact same price.  Another example of why many of us totally ignore the pricing feature.

Maybe, instead of "- Med. Price: $40.00" change it to "- Price Range: $0.25 - $40.00"

I personally put my prices on my cards only, in the card details.

Level 3 = add prices

Level 9 = remove/edit prices.

Inaccuracy report for pricing. 

Edit: These is just my thoughts. I would spend time editing prices (I do add prices) and I would use pricing to help ensure equitable trades if I had confidence in the prices on the site. C2C did point out that level 8 members can delete prices. 

I wish we had the option to include pricing in our trade proposals if we wanted to do that. I once let a $12 card slide through in a trade I accepted because the card didn't jump out while I was looking over a trade request where everything else traded was of equal value. I still ended up sending it because I accepted the offer but if a price had been included either the proposer or myself would have been able to look at it and see if it was a legit value, which it was.

I believe Level 8 can remove prices.  When I look at prices I see a small "x" next to entry number(s).

not sure if it will do any good or thought, but i just made a suggestion regarding this on the Price Removal thread
