Themist summed up my thoughts precisely. My cards are useless if no one is playing this game, and even more importantly I think this is a great game so I'm willing to effectively pay a bit to help subsidize new players. Note this only applies to my cards that I own more than 3 of. Ironically, I have sold only about half a dozen rares and ucs since setting these prices, but had about a dozen cards sold to me that I had highest offers for, so it would seem that others are following my advice, even if no one else is trying to buy cards.
HAHA!! Now we see your real motivation (getting cards for highest price offers)
I agree that the game needs more circulation and card trading. What I don't agree on is that any card a player owns more than 3 of should be sold for low prices. For example, I have an extra belfry, but I can't see parting with it for 100 gp. The fact is that some rares are more valuable (referring to playability and effect on the game, not money at this point) than other rares. I could see giving away a mass confusion, but I can't see selling a Belfy or Tap or Claimed for 60 gp.
Think of MTG... there are rares that come out of the current set (M11) that are wort less tha a dollar, and there are rares in the same set worth upwards of 50 bucks. If I were to say "I'm selling all my MTG rares for 5 bucks"... I'd be insane, because selling a 50 dollar card for 5 bucks is just silly.
I, too, have been selling cards for market prices (at the start of the last domain, I sold a bunch of uncommons for lower prices than they are "worth" because I had way too many copies of them. Who needs 7 goose tamers?) But I'm still not going to part with a SUPER good rare for 60 gp.
