Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>It's not going to hurt your auctions, especially if they are no reserve auctions or non buy-it-now auctions.<br /><br />Looking on eBay I have marked in my mind the sellers who never list anything at a price worth buying and skip over them... But those are mostly the big name dealers.<br /><br />I like these $.10 listing days. At least we get to see what's out there. It's not out of control yet though. I imagine by tonight there will be a ton more up there to sift through.

Posted By: <b>Scott Gross</b><p>I was also planning to put up cards today, even before I saw the good 'ol dime-day. On known sets (like t205, t206, or mine, t218, t220), I think 5-day auctions are fine (even 3-days work). So that's why I am still going to list today, with a 5-day. Wins two ways (in my "logic"):<br /><br />1 -- Auction ends Sunday (or "ebayday").<br />2 -- Most "dumpers" will go with 7-day auctions, so my 5-day ones will be listed ahead of those (when viewed by "ending soonest").<br /><br />Finally, most ebay buyers will fine your needle in the dump-day haystack.<br /><br />Just my 2 (ah, sorry, 10) cents, Scott

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>I like the .10 days cheap to list, just make sure I run either 3,5 or 10 day listings. I do list some cards that I normally would not, especially if it's expensive.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Since most of the dumped crap is BIN all you have to do is hit the "Auctions" tab and it sorts out all of the BIN dump day crap...<br /><br />All Items -------- Auctions --------- Buy It Now<br /><br />regards
