Cardmarket (MKM) card prices

[Nils]

We have different card prices available for cardmarket:
- the lowest price
- the lowest price with card condition excellent or better
- the trend price
- the average seller price

At the moment we are using the lowest price but there has been a request to change this to the trend price. Which one do people prefer?

[Nils]

Looks like we have an overwhelming majority for the trend price. We will use that going forward!

[RatSAT]

Has this change been implemented already? The prices from MKM are still a bit off, for example Vampiric Tutor is listed at € 0.02, which is a bit silly. The trend price currently is €32,76.

Thanks for all your efforts by the way. I am new to this site, but already a major fan

Oh, good catch! That actually seems to be a bug in the Cardmarket code - their API says that there is a foil version of this card available with a trend price of 0.02 EUR. I have added a workaround for this now so you should hopefully see the correct price within the next 24h.

Thanks for letting me know.

I've also noticed a lot of cards in my collection that seem off:

Sensei's Divining Top shows €4, the actual MCM trend is €13
Reflecting Pool: €3,55 vs €7,37
Chromatic Lantern: €1 vs €2,95
Panharmonicon: €1,10 vs €4,93

And so on

While prices in € are often quite a bit lower than their USD counterparts, the collection value on Cardmarket seems very deflated:

830.89 € @ Miraclegames.de

170.93 € @ Cardmarket.com

695.24 $ @ TCGPlayer.com

210.67 T @ Cardhoarder (Magic Online)

1125.66 $ @ Card Kingdom

Are the trending prices for English cards or all languages?

[Nils]

Thank you for reporting all of these aethernus! I have just found and fixed an issue with how we were getting Cardmarket prices, which should hopefully fix resolve of these problems. It looks like in some cases it was returning outdated prices, which skewed the numbers quite a bit. Most of the cards you listed should now show more accurate prices, and the rest should get updated in the next few days.

MustaKotka: It's whatever Cardmarket shows as the trend price. I believe this is the cheapest across all languages, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for looking into it, Nils! My collection value has more than doubled now, so it seems to have worked

[Nils]

Happy to hear that - congratulations on your new-found riches

[RatSAT]

Most prices seem accurate now, thanks a lot Nils!

The Vampiric Tutor workaround doesn't seem to work however, since it's still listed as €0,02. Sylvan Library also seems off, it's listed in my collection as €5,50, but the trend price is around €20,- But overal the value of my collection seems to be about accurate now, which is what matters to me.

[Nils]

Whoops, there was still some outdated data. Please have another look now!

[RatSAT]

Yep, it's fixed. Thanks!
