Trading by Pal name

"A Cattiva for a Cattiva" can be a 20x value gap between a base common and a gold Soul parallel. Trade by code.

Anchoring on the highest listing

One optimistic listing is not a market. Use the market value and the sold evidence behind it.

Ignoring the spread

A wide gap between asking and sold price means the card is illiquid — build in more margin before you swap it.

Sending first without a record

Keep the posted trade and the agreed codes in writing so both sides can point at the same terms.
