Insane Prices

[t206hof]

With the Crazy Buy It Now prices on E-bay, it makes you wonder do these folks have some special cards that I don't have access to or do they think since THEY own them they are worth a lot more. I realize that it is their cards and they can ask what they want, but it is starting to get a little bit out of hand in my opinion. They have make offers on them but you know you don't have a chance in hell of buying hardly any of them. What do others think? T206's is what I collect.Thanks. Dennis.

I'm sure we're both seeing the same things since I also collect t206s. The prices are so far away from what is fair, I have started filtering the BINs out completely when I browse eBay. For every reasonable BIN. there are 99 that are just a waste of space. I just don't really understand. Do these guys really ever sell any cards with these astronomical prices?

[t206hof]

Luke, occasionally they may sell one. I just don't understand why folks don't take the time to educate themselves at least a little bit when they get into a hobby.

I don't mind that much. I do get mad when I'm out bid and see the actual card for sale the next day with 5x the winning bid. What a dumb strategy

You just have to hang in there! Eventually, with persistence, you will find a reasonable BIN here and there. Here is one, not a bargain, but priced right for what is one of the tougher commons....

Lovely Day...

joesvintagesportscard is by far the most reasonable seller I have seen. Also, he always includes scans of the back of the card. I hate it when sellers don't have scans of the back. Ebay sellers should take a lesson from this guy....whoever he is.

I have noticed the same thing as well. I hardly even look on eBay anymore. I collect T206 in only SGC 50 and joesvintagesportscards recently listed a lot in that particualr grade at reasonably priced BINs. Other than that, eBay is a waste of my time.

Yeah, this seller offers reasonable prices. The only BIN I have ever bought was from them
