I sold an SGC 50 card a couple of weeks ago for $144.72 on Ebay; I was pleasantly surprised by the result, so I posted an SGC 80 of the same card for sale this last week for $179.99 opening bid and it did not sell. Maybe because it went up on Christmas and closed on New Years Eve...
I have not considered ebay stores, but I'll take a look.

Meanwhile, while I will not leave my studio apt (I own it and am tremendously upside-down), I HAVE moved a woman into it, so I should get partial credit for heeding your wise advice.
