First of all, apologies if this is not the correct forum for this post. Before posting I browsed & searched several finance and software forums, but have been unable to find solid answers--and in fact have only added to my list of questions! I'm experiencing that uneasy nervousness of a noob dipping his toes in super deep waters. Please bear with me.
So I've been seeking a method to price decklists using TCG-market. (Full disclosure: at my LGS we're going to run some budget-constrained EDH, and we figured to use TCG market NM prices as our indicator.) After some tinkering with deck listing sites (tappedout, deckstats, deckbox, etc) it appears that none of them support TCG market prices... and in fact there's some variance in the prices that they pull. Maybe this is simply the result of TCG market being a relatively new price point, and TCG's API isn't yet stabilized / sites haven't updated their pull mechanisms?
Narrow question:
Is there a particular tool / site that I can use for pricing decklists using TCG market, to support my local playgroup's silly budget format? If not, then we'll probably just adopt one of the price benchmarks (one used by a decklist site already, likely).
General question:
What is the deal with software pricing? The status quo's got some unholy complexity issues, and this noob is getting the fear. Is there a primer somewhere that describes the differences between the software pricing? Maybe just something as simple as: here is the set of price creators, here's the array of prices created by each one, and here's a map showing which software links to which price.
