How can I get these prices?

I generally deal in low grade T206s, so I view A LOT OF THEM on ebay. Sometimes the prices just boggle my mind... how did this Josh Clark go for probably three times actual value (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=110625239020&si=eS4%252F843WziHarJ3I%252BKpVS0Z7WO8%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT)?

unless the winning bidder thought both cards were included in the auction?

Who knows how these things happen. Maybe a relative or a collector of that team was following the auction. Bidders don't always look at trends when they are bidding.

Sometimes things just go in cycles. I remember years ago I could put just about any tobacco card of actress Lily Langtry up on Ebay and be guaranteed at least a 100 bucks every time.

Now I look, and they rarely meet the $10-15 minimums they open with.

...you had multiple bidders thinking they were getting both cards.

Seems pretty clear to me from the description. :confused:


Then again I've gotten more people in the last year contacting me for refunds or complaining because "It wasn't what I expected it to be", when all they had to do was read the description to see exactly what it was.

I think more and more people are bidding from hand-held devices and rarely get further then the picture and title before placing a bid.
