I assume everything goes into the database at cover price (with that little 1-cent rounding-up), and then unless something happens in the algorithm to make it go up, it just stays at that amount. I wonder if it wouldn't be more honest if everything that has a cover price of equal-to or more than $1, and is still valued at cover price at NM in the DB, wasn't just lowered to $1. Something like that. Another question - in another thread, someone commented that the CPG algorithm is outdated. I hate to ask this in a CPG thread, but is there someone else online with a better algorithm?
