Brian,
You make excellent points. I still don't understand why the dealer has to place them on eBay? I realize the answer is "maximum exposure" leading to a potential private sale without all those pesky buyer and seller fees. Still, if you owned the Hope Diamond, would you list it on eBay with a Buy it Now for $75 million dollars...? It's like Kate Upton using Match. com for a date....

I made a best offer of $150,000 on the 2.5 and got a message from eBay that said that I have not established sufficient credit and need to call them. Oh well, I tried.

Yeah, "insufficient credit." One more reason why I'll never own a Cobb back.

Over a certain limit of a bid on ebay and you (at least) used to, if not now, have a cc on file. If not, then a high bid or snipe won't take place. It happened to a friend once when I won a card for 20k+. He sniped more but didn't have a cc on file so his bid didn't get placed and I won it. He wasn't happy either.

I offered $1,500 and was immediately rejected. It was the one with the unfortunate crease.

I well remember an incident soon after Dale Earnhardt was tragically killed in the 2001 Daytona 500. This guy where I worked had an absolutely BANZAI Earnhardt collection. He listed the whole thing on eBay, "just to see what kind of action he would get". I heard the collection had gone past $14,000, when this guy took it down. The EBAY watchdogs were boiling, and told him if he ever pulled a trick like that again, he would be banned from eBay for life. I do not know what became of that character, as I got laid off the job a couple years later, but in retrospect, if he really intended to eventually sell his Dale Earnhardt collection, THAT was the time to do so. I think he blew it, but no doubt his collection had a very strong emotional attachment to him. As Moe Howard said in "THREE LITTLE PIRATES", "We shall see, but we shall see." ---Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 03-20-2016 at 11:17 PM. |

As someone who has never sold on EBAY, I was not aware that they capped their fees at $750. That puts a totally different light on the matter. Thanks for enlightening me, rats. ---Brian Powell

Actually rats was not entirely accurate. If the seller has an eBay store and is a Top Rated Plus seller, his final value fees on any single card sale over $2,778.00 would only be $200.

Fees Ending an auction-style listing early once it has received a bid can lead to disappointed and frustrated buyers who may be less likely to bid on listings the next time around. For this reason, we may charge a fee if you end a listing early. This fee is equal to the final value fee you would have paid if the listing had ended on its own and sold for the highest bid received at the time you ended the listing. We charge this fee if you cancel bids and end an auction-style listing early without a buyer. We don't charge this fee if you end an auction-style listing early and sell to the high bidder. (In this case, normal final value fees apply.) This fee doesn't apply to listings in the Real Estate and eBay Motors vehicle categories, and the Classified Ads selling format. Because we understand that sometimes it may be necessary to end a listing early, we don't charge a fee for the first auction-style listing you end early (where a fee applies) per calendar year (January 1 to December 31). |

And since these are BIN, not auction-style listings, the seller can end them early w/o any fees or consequences. It's basically free advertising.

I think he caught a glimpse of a pretty girl and followed her with his eyes. But I never have noticed this. Very interesting. I wonder if any other series that has a red cobby has his eyes like that?

"Best offer accepted."
I don't know how to find what that best offer was. |
#72
|
|||
|

The listing info has already been removed from Ebay. There is a site that you can find out what the best offers were on Ebay BINs but since the listing was removed from Ebay it isn't working. It shows up in the seller's completed listings but if you click the auction you get this: "This listing (331806099199) has been removed, or this item is not available.
Please check that you've entered the correct item number Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing." James |

Not narrowing things down by much
I was able to see the listing, but after checking against the next highest sold listing in the Sportscards section, all I could determine was that it sold for over $161000, since nothing more expensive than the Cobb had been sold.

REMINDER: you can see the Best Offers by going to watchcount.com and then type the item number in. I have used it a few times
Just wanted to point out this Ebay auction, seller (bubbydude) claiming to be a Lucky 7 find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...193&rmvSB=true

I have noticed sometimes it takes up to 24 hours before you can get prices on sold items.

It looks like the deal must have fell through. It's definitely back up for sale by the same seller.
