Sales value question

[Doopz]

Hey guys! I'm seeking some insight.
For years I used Beckett to get an idea on prices by just taking 40-50% off their listed price. It didn't think it was far off for most cards.
But now I can't justify paying for their online pricing when there's several resources for free.
Someone (in a FB card group) suggested a site called Cardmavin which I think is pretty nifty. But the site I hear about most is 130point's Trading Card Pricing Tool. Both of which get their sale prices from eBay.

I don't how many of you have used these sites, if any. But I'm curious why the average pricing is different for both.

Just for kicks I checked the pricing for Suzuki's RC in Platinum.
130Point Avg: $1.55
Cardmavin Avg: $4.04

Tried another from the same set: Carey Price Best in the World
130Point avg: $1.25 (7 sales)
Cardmavin avg: $5.63 (8 sales)

Does that seem odd?!
Anyone have any insight on this or pricing they could share?

Thanks!!

There are different ways you can sell your cards on eBay such as best offer, and you can also sell your cards through things such as consignment which effects the value of cards. I have always taken the highest and lowest completed auctions of cards I am trying to sell and I rarely have any problems.

I don't know anything about either site, but is the one factoring in shipping price as well into the final sale price and the other isn't? I see a $3.50-4.50 difference and that's the first thing that stands out to me.

That would be my guess as well.

If that is the case, it would make perfect sense.

The shipping is likely the difference, but theoretically could also be a location thing or currency difference too. Some places only track sales within a certain country (the PWCC database is this way) and some places might be using USD while others are using CAD. I use sportscards.com, as it tracks I believe 3-4 years of eBay sales.

Cardmavin incorporates the shipping charge. If you click the card image it will show the sale price and the shipping charge.

*facepalm* I never thought to click the image, figured it would just enlarge it. Thanks so much for letting me know!
