.....cards of such ilk should be reserved for a MastroNet auction; but my buddy Leon did not agree with me. Oh well. |

Doug---The advantage of Ebay is that you can set a reserve and not get scalped like what happened on the W600 lot. |

The Big Vintage Card Contest on Ebay
Posted By: Jay Miller
Where were all the snipers shooting for King Kelly? By the way after Doug's question of yesterday I put pencil to paper. For a seller to realize $50,000 on a lot at a major auction where the buyer's and seller's commissions are 15% the buyer has to pay $67,647. For that same seller to realize $50,000 on ebay the buyer has to pay $50,793. $17,000 is a pretty big hurdle to make back. |

I think a lot of people would rather take a shot on ebay with a nice item so that they can set the reserve, pay a much cheaper commission, control the presentation, take underbidders' offers, and control the transaction. I certainly feel that way. I had a really bad experience with Teletrade (I know, I know). They offered my cards at a level so low that I netted $1 (that's right, a buck) on some lots. In the entertainment memorabilia field I also had some bad experiences with the premiere houses (bad lot selection, random pricing, etc.). So, I am really leery of getting involved with an auction house, and I think many others feel the same way. |

High (undisclosed) reserve Ebay auctions are a very cheap way to sell an item for a minimal price without any possibility of letting it go below a certain amount. If it doesn't sell you don't lose much and maybe one of the folks who saw the item (whether they bid on it or not) will follow up and meet your price. |
