I have tried to sell $2000 and $3000 and $5000 cards on eBay and gone nowhere. People are hesitant to wire some dude somewhere real money, even with good feedback. Say what you want about PWCC (and I often have), they are a known brand and people feel comfortable buying (or overpaying for) high end (HE) cards from them. |

Ebay is just a venue...both I and PWCC sell on Ebay....for some reason, I truly believe we can have the EXACT same card....same grade....same centering, everything....99 times out of 100, the PWCC card will sell for more.

I understand your statement completely. But to say people would rather spend big money with PWCC cause they’re “well known” and not some other party is as ridiculous as I’ll get out.

It’s tough to argue against conspiracy theories, but yes, it’s far more plausible that it’s a consignor doing that, not someone at PWCC. Just consider the math. If there’s a card selling for $50k, and a consignor successfully shills it to $55k, then the consignor’s incremental take is 90% of the $5k, or, $4500. PWCC might net 5% of that amount after their fees, or an incremental $250. The upside of PWCC perpetrating the shilling just isn’t there, unlike Mastro, whose take was probably 20-30% of the final value.

I have 'won' items on ebay and all of the sudden the card is not available or not shipped etc. Much less of a chance of that on pwcc Plus, there are sellers out there that shill their own cards and when they 'win' them on another of their accounts account they just cancel the sale and dont have to eat anything At least theres a better chance with pwcc that the consignor will have to eat a 10% or so fee to win their own card versus a guy with 2 accounts selling his card on ebay. Just for those 2 reasons i woudl think the same card on pwcc should go for more than the average joe account...plus a ton more reasons...like bulk shipping if you win several items etc. |
