Prices don't match TCGPlayer

On my deck, the high prices for Phantasmal Image and Darkslick Shores aren't even remotely close to those on TCGPlayer. Here is the deck so you can see: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewPrices.aspx?DeckID=368525

I'll take a look later, it appears store.tcgplayer.com is rather broken at the minute. Out of interest, can you recall what they were on tcgplayer?

ViewPrices takes quantity into account and the widget at the bottom of a card page will only display the top 8 (that's a limit of TCG Players API output unfortunately).

Cheers

On my deck, Phantasmal Image was $100 each at the high and Darkslick Shores was also $100 each at the high. At TCGPlayer, Image is $13.20 at the high and Darkslick Shores are $19 each at the highest.

DS is showing as $76 on the prices breakdown, which is 4x $19.
PI is showing as $39.60 which is 3x $13.20.

Unless I'm missing something? :)

We basically pull the latest prices from TCG player each night, so maybe at the time you looked, there was some store who had mispriced the card? Looks okay now tho!

Yeah it seems to be fixed now. It must have been the prices from two nights ago then.

Yea that's the only problem. I guess tcg player don't check prices on input, so a store can put a stupid price, which then feeds into their API and everyone using it would see.

It's happened before :/
