Like most things, I also believe there are exceptions. The ones that come to mind are PS-1' and HF-1's. The market is in a crazy cycle with the HF-1's. I have a pretty good idea of what market price currently is. Only becuase I was aggressivly chasing them and asking questions. Someone selling may not have this information. On the other hand, If all the HF-1's were FS's, with posted prices, instead of IC's there would be a market value history.

And, the proverbial law of value is that an item is worth "what the buyer will pay for it". I can see myself at some point not being sure if I wanted to sell an item due to the lack of information on it's worth. A quick IC (and you should at least appreciate the people that are being upfront that it's an IC, many might just not put a price and see what happens) would be the perfect tool to find out what I can expect for it. |
