With PWCC and Probstein, or any large consignment firm for any hobby, they have three big things going for them. 1) They are reliable. It's not just some guy selling a card. 2) They do auctions, which combined with the reliability, draws people in. Who isn't watching a PSA 6 that's .99? They rely to some degree on the competitiveness of people bidding. 3) Listing a ton of cards at once is beneficial. It creates the one-stop-shop/"Oh, I get a discount on shipping for multiple items" effect. It works .... clearly.
Smaller sellers should just use a BIN with BO listing, know what you need to get, and go from there. If you bought a card for $400 more than you got for it, and you listed it shortly after getting it, then surely the idea was to make money from the go. Clearly auctions aren't working for you, so try something different. Unless you need to unload something quickly at the risk of doing so for less money, don't do an auction.

Yes it does seem that Robert does a fair share of complaining but I can relate to his frustration here. I do not think there is a full grade difference technically speaking on the two cards but clearly there are lots of holder buyers and a 7 is a much more significant grade on this card.
I am often disappointed in most of my consignments because typically in a true auction format where cards are not protected the results are nothing to write home about unless you have cards that are hot. The answer is to not compare apples to oranges because that is what you are doing if you compare your ebay listing to that of a PWCC listing. I have been parking a good deal of stuff in my eBay store and wait it out to get my price or at least something close to what I want. |

PWCC oranges must be very tasty ..
Their cards sell for much more than anyone else’s on eBay . Good for them I only hope it’s for all the right reasons . Now we are all numb on this subject . Like other subjects that come up occassionly here .

Touche....to quote the late, great Jack Soo from Barney Miller. His last line on the show. "I have nothing to add".

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.

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. |
