This card's market value is Zoro. I mean zero

See zero?
However, junk value is 0.01 shekles. 0.01 is more than 0.00. This means that this card is worth less than junk value. Now you can buy it. I'm selling for 2 shekles

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why would I want to buy this?
It's a novalty item
Why would I want a novalty item? Don't ask me, ask that lava lamp you have in the corner. Or the pet rock

If I buy it for so much, it'll just boost the MV above junk value.

I thing the game tries to round the MV to the nearest 0.05 Bank on Commons and Uncommons. If the moving average is 0.02 or 0.01, it rounds down to 0.00. I've seen that on lots of high value cards that have been resold at Junk.

Nice try; I´ve seen or had about a dozen of these cards the last few weeks alone. There´s nothing "special" about these cards, MV goes up again after a few sales...

Greetings,

The "0.00" valuation is a coding bug, the MV of a card should never be less than junk value.

I think the bug has been fixed, but that it simply will take some time to correct for all cards. In due time there should be no more cards existing with 0.00 MV. For now these cards are different, but that won't last forever.
