Should CCN "Trends" Numbers Be Revised To Better Reflect Market Reality?

A dealer using trends to price a sale is fine with me, as long as they don't use the old price of 80% to 100% of trends.

Current retail pricing should be between 50% to 75%.

Simply because many collectors accept that the "Trends" are valid and just fork out their money.
This equates to bigger profits for the dealers so of course they are reluctant to have trends reflect the true market values

I have mentioned this to CoinHunter before. Frankly, I think an overinflated Trends is demoralizing, misleading, and has a profound effect on diminishing interest in the hobby. For those just starting out who buy at or near Trends, they may feel disheartened by not getting anything close to even half of what they paid when it comes time to sell. Also, anything product that has to be discounted by 50% comes off as unappealing to the consumer. It often suggests something is wrong with the product.

A complete refresh would reinvigorate buyers, which is exactly what this industry needs. Satisfying dealers with high Trends values is one thing, but generating interest in the hobby again by having prices reflect reality would go a long way, I think. Just one man's opinion.
