Buying/Selling 101

[cardsnstuff]

I follow one rule:

Price fairly & ship fast.

Although I guess people may not agree with part 1 based on my recent 12 mo ebay sales history.

I agree with you about pricing fairly.

I ted to list stuff for about 10% of BV and for some reason can't sell anything on here. When I'm selling on ebay, I tend to take the average of the last 5-7 sales and list my BIN about 10% below that. Sometimes that works. Can't seem to buy either (here) when I post a thread. But I see other guys posting threads with prices like 40% of BV.

As for shipping, I try to ship next day if possible. I just got a printer last week, so can print labels at home right after sale is made. I used to have to wait until the next time I worked (M-F) to print off labels since I could only do it at work. So I will ship next day or second day in most cases unless I'm out of bubble mailers and have to run to Walmart to get more.

If you are selling stuff for 10% of book I am a buyer for Eddie Mathews and Ted Williams all day long. Please let me know what i can buy.

Now if you are selling cards using NrMint book prices and selling lower grade cards at 10% of book I have no interest.

Andy how’s it been? Long time no talk! I’ve been back the past month or so. Just slowly getting back into the hobby. School has kept me so busy these past few years so it’s been on and off. But I’m back to stay and I’m glad to see things are flourishing.

Not a fan when people put “rare” next to every listing
