New poll for cardvault

[cardvault at yahoogroups.]

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the
cardvault group:

Assume Card Vault partners with a major
magazine (like Scrye or InQuest) to
allow price downloads. The magazine
will insert a small card with a
password to that issue's prices.
Thus, to download the prices, you must
purchase the magazine, then use the
password to download the prices. These
prices would include all Magic prices,
most or all prices from other major
games, and select prices from other
games.

What would you be willing to pay *per
year* to access these prices for every
copy of that magazine that you purchase
that year?

o I wouldn't pay anything.
o Only a couple bucks
o $5
o $10
o $15
o $20
o $30

I am a LoTR player and I feel Scrye is highly biased to Pokemon and
Yu-Gi-Oh so I am not interested in paying $25 to read like 3 pages of
LoTR stuff (most unaccurate) plus I find their prices highly
incorrect (the most expensive card they ahve listed is like $7 and
the highest foil is like $15, please come on now). The same goes for
Inquest though I never had a membership I remember they were highly
biased towards M:TGm, not sure about the prices though I never liked
their SWCCG prices. But, to answer you real Q I would not pay more
then $10 for just the price info (no mags included) and no more then
normal subscription price for the mag with downloadable price info.

I voted, but I'd like to say that I would not be willing to buy a
magazine just to get the pricing info. I've seen some of these
magazines, and frankly, they're not that great. I could get any
Magic info I could possibly need from Wizard's site or one of its
many affiliates. However, I would be willing to pay a yearly fee for
just the pricing info. I suppose I'd subscribe to the magazine if
the yearly subscription fee is less than or equal to what I'd be
willing to pay for the pricing info, but that's not likely.

What I'd like to see is Card Vault making a deal with Essential
Magic. I believe EM computes its card prices daily, using a computer
to calculate the average value of all eBay sales of each card in
recent history. It would be simple enough to integrate whatever
routines or algorithms they use into Card Vault, or simply become a
partner site. It wouldn't help any other games, but if there's any
Magic site to which I'd be willing to give money for pricing info,
it'd definitely be EM.

If you've never heard of EM, you can check out their site at
www.essentialmagic.com. I don't think I need to advertise for them
any more, as the stunning depth and quality of their site is
instantly apparent.
