Default There is also

The "collectors" who want you to reduce already low prices. I have a card 1955 Bowman Bob Grim for which I use the 10 percent rule -- that is card books at $20, I ask $2. I ended up having to put that card at $4? Why -- the minute I put the card at $2 I get the $1 bid.

So I raised the card to $4 so I could accept a $2 bid. There is also a 61 Skowron I posted. Priced the tough SP appropriately due to condition and the 1st response was someone offered half the marked amount. Again, raised the price so I could accept the level I wanted to be at, not a giveaway level.

Please also note, that, for sellers who accept Amazon, as I do, there is an automatic 20 percent discount (i will usually take the 20 percent off offers happily) and that can help goose up prices as well. If you know you are taking 20 percent off -- sometimes you prirce accordingly
