It's useful for trading low-end stuff that doesn't sell on ebay (think cards with a total sale value, including shipping, below $5) as long as both people are in agreement that's what they are using. Even then it obviously isn't perfect but at least it's something that will usually get you in the general ballpark of equal values for different cards. It's also useful just for general informational purposes, as in if I come across a card I don't know anything about like an old Pacific parallel, I can generally tell by the Beckett price whether it was something easy to find or rare...with many exceptions.
It's beyond useless for anything with a sale value over $5-10 but as a team collector I deal with A LOT of stuff below that value point. Anybody using it for stuff like Bowman Chrome color Refractor autos is dumb or trying to rip somebody off.
