# MTG Sealed Price Check (Argentina vs US)
Compares Argentine retailer pricing against the current US market to determine if a sealed product is a good deal, average, or overpriced.
## When to use
- User pastes a price list from a Buenos Aires MTG store
- User asks "is X price good for Y product?"
- User is deciding between multiple stores for the same sealed product
## Constants and assumptions
- **Exchange rate**: ALWAYS ask the user for the current ARS/USD rate — Argentine peso moves weekly, never assume from memory
- **Acceptable Argentine markup**: +0-30% above US is fair, +30-50% is typical, +50%+ is overpriced
- **Cash/bank transfer discounts**: typically 5-15% off list price — always factor these in
