I’m curious what you guys are observing of pricing strategies at your local card shop and if this sounds typical to you:

I grabbed a bunch of junk singles (EDH stuff) at a shop the other day. When I was done, the guy helping me starting browsing Star City’s website for prices. This took me aback if only because I expect there’s some kind of margin calculation on SCG’s part, but it’s probably not frequently updated for cards with low visibility [citation needed]. Why not use Apathy House or other bench-markers?

Anyhow, what are you guys seeing, what seems fair for low-traffic shops and is this the best strategy for a small place?
