Default Does The Auctioneer Impact The Price?

Posted By: Bruce Babcock

I have always been of the opinion that the big auction houses are a great place to sell but not always the best place to buy. These auctions attract a group of buyers who don't troll ebay every day like we do. It's very hard to find an overlooked bargain as a buyer although you can sometimes do well with a group lot. Our BST thread can be a great place to buy when you happen to see the exact card you are looking for, without paying a hammer.

The best auction houses tend to have software which is easy to use. Some of the others have clunky software which is a pain in the ass to use. This can certainly be a factor for me.
