Default Hundreds of pre-1930 cards on Ebay

Posted By: barrysloate

I don't know Levi personally but there is nothing unethical about asking too much for an item; the buyer can always pass.

When I have something for sale I like to sell it, period. That's why I start my ebay and catalog auctions with very low opening bids and let it roll. 95% of the time I am more than pleased (an occasional disappointment will pop up for sure). The business model Levi uses wouldn't work for me. I couldn't imagine pricing things so high that virtually nothing sold. That baffles me, but I guess he has a reason for doing it. He's been selling cards for a long time, so I assume he makes enough to justify it.
