Is 5k too much?
First one I've seen on ebay for quite awhile. Will it sell for 5k?

It's interesting. I don't think it will sell BInNfor $5K, but I bet if he listed it as a straight $0.99 auction with no reserve, it would come close to $5K.

I do not think it will sell for $5k either.
The reason I say this is because it belongs to me, and anyone who knows me and has dealt with me through Ebay knows that I will give a nice discount when eliminating the Ebay and Paypal fees. Just my two cents ...

I don't think $5,000 is a bad price. I paid more that that for a Street/ Drum that was graded PSA 2. Of course I was doing a Street back run and really needed the card.
If you want a Drum, I think that it's a fair price. If you wait to find a cheaper Drum, you'll probably end up with one in poor condition.

Again, it would be a shame if anyone clicked the "buy it now" button. They can save hundreds by sending a check and not waste their hard earned money lining Ebay's already ridiculously deep pockets.
Just saying ...

Some people need a drum more than others. Hi Derek.

5K on a drum 2 designation makes me realize I should quit collecting the back run will never be complete.

I love it when a buyer/seller talks about a card for auction/sale and the seller/buyer is actually an active member of the forum too. Makes for great discussions !!!

I think $5K is entirely possible, given the infrequency that Drum backs make themselves available, and how much LESS frequently they become available outside an auction environment where a whale or two can drive the price.
Good luck with the sale! -Al

eBay has too much money
Let me get this straight
Derek wants people to see it on eBay and then contact him directly so he can avoid the fees and save the buyer and himself some money because ebay already has too much money And you're all cheering him on Josh Evans

I think it just has to do with avoiding the middle man and saving money...really smart if you ask me and several others. eBay has a way of letting buyers get over on sellers, so that could be one less thing to deal with also.

By not using them in the end transaction... It's been this way for a long time on eBay. Is it illegal? If it was a big deal to eBay, they would penalize you for taking the auction or BIN down. I know they don't want it to happen, but like I said in my original post...eBay seems to let the buyer rip the seller off and lie about a transaction. I'd feel a lot better if I could do a transaction on here vs eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's why (and I won't pretend to interpret what others write here) that I highly doubt that Josh's post - a few posts above - was "tongue in cheek", or could be otherwise construed, unless the person reading it is also rationalizing how to work the ebay "system". ebay and Lelands are in the same business. (although ebay is really a facilitator as opposed to an AH acting as an agent for a consignor).

Just because Derek tries to sell the card on Ebay doesn't mean the card is now property of Ebay. If he chooses to sell it on the side, good for him.
I don't know if Ebay has "too much money." I do think they are a monopoly that charges excessive fees, but I guess it is better than the fees charged by some of these auction houses.

The only way someone would know to contact him about the card for a sale off of Ebay is if they saw his post here.
So in that respect, Ebay wouldn't have provided the marketing and exposure necessary to sell his card. Net54 would have. Now whether he owes Leon anything and/or Leon's pockets are full enough is another story

Much ado
I was not being tongue in cheek but I don't blame you for questioning that as I am a good deal of the time
I am also not casting dispersions on Derek who I probably know by face or not but I am sure he is a good guy, doesn't beat his kids and is really doing nothing that God awful just tweaking the system as we all do from time to time When I was a kid I used to eat the candy in bags that was already opened but never would open one myself Is that bad, yes, but we all draw lines for ourselves If what Derek is doing is as bad as that then Derek is not so bad I just find it to be an interesting topic and sorry Derek if you feel maligned I am sure you don't care that much and hope you take this all with a grain of salt I just had two situations where I was ahout to bid on eBay to find the item taken down and probably sold to some idiot who plays the system and gets people to take things down prematurely which in my experience is almost never good for the seller I find this to be sleazy but is it just me Plus, I have had consignors and potential bidders who have waited out the auction, know the seller somehow, and contacted the seller and bought it directly to save the commission It rarely happens and if I didn't get the price then that it is my fault so that's not so bad So what is my point here , I don't really have one I'm just shooting the breeze I had a great auction and I'm loving the hobby right now I like to talk to other guys on this and it's not as easy these days I need to do a show Couldn't do Hartford because I had the flu I miss the comraderie and thrill of the chase Josh

No hard feelings, of course. We are on the most entertaining baseball card forum that I know to exist, and I always expect to hear and see just about everything in my time here. I expect people to give their honest feedback.
I must say, however, that I did not advertise my card in any way that would suggest I prefer to go off of Ebay, and I had nothing to do with the creation of this thread. I simply commented when I saw the thread, and gave my fellow board members a heads up that clicking the "Buy It Now" is not necessary and that by doing so they would be wasting hundreds of their hard earned dollars. Maybe it was not appropriate, maybe it really is ok. I guess that just comes down to someones personal opinion. I can say that the practice of listing on Ebay and ending the listing for a private sale is done routinely by various sellers, so the notion is not at all earth shattering in my eyes. Again, it is just one mans opinion. Anyways, let it rip. I will be just fine. Derek

At the end of the day, there's nothing stopping someone from listing a BIN on eBay and a BIN here (or listed as "make an offer") on Net 54 at a lower price. It happens a lot and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
If the seller listed the card on eBay as an auction and tries to sell here, there is an inherent problem, but that's not what we're dealing with here.

Ebay actually has a listed reason to take down an item early as 'item no longer available' I think ebay assume people can be trying to sell the card as well off ebay....I see ZERO problem selling a card off ebay...again ebay provides ebay protections and etc that are lost in direct transactions...to each their own...

One of the largest sellers of PSA graded cards is 4SharpCorners. Virtually every card they sell is listed on ebay. They also have their own site and the listings are the same, but usually about 5-10% cheaper and the shipping is significantly lower than on ebay. I've seen cards on ebay that I wanted then went to their site to save a few bucks. Ebay gets nothing. I am sure there are many other merchants that operate the same way. Good luck with your sale Derek.
