What are the best places to sell T206 cards?
 

I know not here...but do you guys have any advise? I am selling the following 3 T206 cards:

Ray Demmitt St-Louis variation (SCG 30);
Cristy Mathewson dark cap (PSA 4) and
Walter Johnson hands to chest (BVG 4)

Thanks.

Adrian you forgot your prices :D

Send them to Al (http://loveofthegameauctions.com) and let him and the market do all the work for you.

Not sure your prices are as "super" low as you think. values of O'Hara's & Demmitts have been declining as of late, and your Matty & Johnson prices are not low at all, IMO.

Agreed with above opinion, consign them to a LOTG or Goodwin and let the bidders duke it out. BIN's on eBay tend to turn me off, i'd rather see a no reserve auction start low and it'll attract many bidders.

What do you suggest as starting prices and how long should I run the Ebay auctions for?

Post # 5

A PSA 1 Demmitt just sold for $885 on eBay and yours is quite a bit nicer..just list it at $0.99...it will get lots of attention.

0.99$ for how many days?

Post # 6

Is a 7 day or a 10 day auction better? I have just listed all 3 at 0.99$ with NO reserve for 10 days.

Adrian- there is a reason you aren't on the BST. IN due time, after you haven't pulled this kind of chicanery for a while, you might be able to go back over there. I already told you not to do this (listing cards on the main board) and here you are doing it again. Just because you disguise it as something else doesn't mean it's not selling on the main board. Had you ONLY said "where is the best place to sell T206s" and left it at that then you would have been fine. This is your final warning on stuff like this. If there is a question PM me first. thanks

IF you do a 10 day auction, it's best to list them on a Thursday and let them run until the following Sunday, that way you'll capture 2 full weekends of bidding, rather than them ending mid-week...a little pearl of wisdom from Sir Jay Wolt.

Thanks guys!!

I assume a lot of ebay buyers are just like me and they don't trust anything from Canada.

That sucks!! I would NEVER not send the cards to the winner!! I know some would have custom fee concerns but hey I am open minded!!

Post # 9

I think it's more aboot how slow everything up there is, eh.

z28jd

I would ship them any method the buyer is willing to pay for...as long as it has a tracking # and requires a signature upon delivery that is!! I would offer any of the following 3 possibilities: registered mail, express mail or FeDex 1 day service...aka worldwide priority. All 3 are safe and secure and arrive pretty fast.

FYI I have NEVER had any problems in the past when I used to deal in coins.

Post # 11

Most everyone selling cards or memorabilia think they are offering at good prices. Usually prices are to high. Take 20% off your price and you will probably sell.

He doesn't get it, Leon, and I doubt he ever will.

the 'stache

Just spoke to Leon and all is OK!!:) And yes I do get it!! I truly wanted help as to the best way to go about selling....I have never sold a T206 card and I needed some help.

Post # 1

He and I have had several PMs after my initial post. I think he gets it. Adrian is a great guy but we just can't be buying and selling on the main page. We actually did it that way many years ago but there were only a few hundred people on the board then. We had 1-2 threads a month on the main page and NO dedicated BST areas. It was a kinder and gentler time on the board. :)

What is this, a sales pitch?

Blocking you again.

I spoke to Leon I am NOT here to start trouble just needed help as stated above.

Post # 2

I don't think he's a "great guy". He's a pathological liar, and a drama queen. He's reneged on transactions, and this is twice now that he's tried to circumvent the rules you've set forth, which are incredibly simple to understand. Most other people would take "banned from the B/S/T" forum as meaning "I can't use Net 54 to sell my cards". What does he do? He tries to sell his cards on the main forum, and when he's told that he can't do that, he creates a "hey, I'm selling these T206 cards on Ebay. And by the way, here are the prices I'm selling them for".

It's your forum, and I respect your rules, Leon. But I will never trust this guy, and I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Oh please, spare me another self-indulgent "woe is me" post. What you've gone through is nothing compared to what I've gone through in my life, I promise you. Yet somehow, even with medical bills that wiped out nearly all of my savings and 401k, and seeing my income cut by more than half, I was able to meet every single obligation I had, and did so without making up a plethora of excuses.

Your behavior, and your actions, do not instill confidence. So while you might seem like a really "swell guy" on the phone, or in some of your posts, in my trained opinion, your words belie something more insidious.

Chris...I knew that was coming after I read that comment. I don't think he meant any harm and was just funnin:)

As for Adrian, I gave you some excellent advice before and you did not accept it.

Please listen; some of your madness is self caused and for you to get better you must step away. Step away from the Internet! Turn it off and go take your dog for a walk, go jogging or just go to the gym.

By working out or even jogging, it has all sorts of benefits; clearing the mind is just one of them.

You basically are moving from one addiction to another like you did with coins. Cluttering your mind.

Why do your hobbies need to involve buying and selling?

This adds to more stress when you are trying to become less stressed.

Pick a hobby that doesn't involve buying and selling like painting. Some of the best artists in the world were mad. Painting will relax you and you will be amazed at your accomplishments.

You must get lots and lots of rest so that you can unclutter your mind.

Craig M

I appreciate your help!!:)

I try to but having sever OCD I tend to focus on one thing....that is why I was able to pass at university. I enjoy music very much and writing oh and animals very very much...they love you no matter what!! School was the best for me it kept me busy 24/7....I could study and read for hours and hours....then I was lost a lot when it came to a end.

Post # 5

agreed

Adrian,

Dude, your number one priority right now is your health, right?

I know you agree with me so with that said, you have to get off of the Internet; it is cluttering your mind without you even aware of it.

Reading about people putting you down even though they mean no harm directly to you, is of course harmful to YOUR mind.

Good luck in getting better.

I was going to start a similar T206-selling thread in the main forum, sneaking it by with the title: "Wanna Shag?"

I have two...or I have to.

Good luck Adrian - Craig had some great advice for you.

Craig M

I agree and will try to.

Best place to sell T206 cards
 

I would say ebay at no reserve selling on yer own or with Probstein or PWCC. If you don't want to mess with all the time and fees, I would say Sterling.

RCMcKenzie

Thanks:)...I decided to list them for 10 days on Ebay.

Post # 9

Good Adrian...I'm glad you made the decision on that and now lets try something together.

So that I practice what I preach, let's both take a break from Ner54. We will do this together.

Here we go!

This will be my last post for the rest of June and all of July. I hope Adrian joins me in taking a break.

Peace Out

Craig

lmao!

This is friggin AWESOME...Where else can you find drama like this..............

Just wondering, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

working out
 

Craig, I agree with you about getting away from the internet and working out but Adrian also needs to be careful with that advice.

My problem is that I tend to go overboard on everything. When I first started running in 1978 I loved it so much that I soon became addicted. I had to run every day and pretty soon 5 miles a day wasn't enough. On the weekends I would run 20 miles a day, and then I had to start running marathons. Pretty soon 8 minutes miles wasn't fast enough and even in my late 30's I had my mile time down to 5:00.

When I started biking it was the same way. I did the same thing when I started fishing. I went fishing 4-5 times a week and I was pretty obsessed with it. I'm lucky that I live a mile from the Wisconsin River. Same with golf. I played golf every day for a couple of years. Now it is baseball cards.

I think a lot of us on the board have the same type of personality that I have. I'm trying to back off a little bit. I run a few miles 2-3 times a week, bike 10 miles once a week, work out at the gym twice a week, and I'm thinking seriously about giving up on selling cards and just enjoying collecting for a while.

Thank God that I can channel my energies into my hobbies instead of alcohol or cigarettes or drugs. A sex addiction might be fun!

Rick

I guess that I have missed an installment or two of this soap opera. Adrian, why are you selling this cards? I thought you said you were collecting long term.:confused:

"I will NEVER sell them...never never never!!!!"

Adrian post #4 day 37

Yikes.

Every day there is some drama on Net54, and every time it involves Adrian. At some point it needs to stop.

Adrian serious question. How do you have so much money for cards?

@MIke: He's now strictly focusing on a 52T set and a Mantle master set, and selling the others.

@Maniac: He sold a very valuable coin not long ago.

C'mon you two. Keep up!:D

Scott,

Now that's funny. But keep in mind that if you're coming to this board looking to Shag, you might be better off taking things into your own hand(s).

On the other hand, if you're looking to sell a Shag, you might have better success with that:D

Adrian -- too much information in my opinion. Many of us have personal issues that we don't air in public.

I'm on board with Bill, X100000000000000000000000000+++++++++++++

Nevermind, not worth it...

I am selling these 3 cards to put the money towards my 52 Topps set and my Mantle master set. The only T206 card that I will be keeping is my Red Murray error card (Murr'y). I find the Murray card to cool of a card to sell I enjoy owning it!! I just can't afford the T206 set and the 52 Topps set at the same time....maybe years from now I will go back to the T206 set.

I do contracts with a friend.

Well this post is post # 1000 just want to say to those who helped me during my journey to # 1000....thanks a million!!!

Post # 13

I'm right there with ya. Was never into drugs though, and alcohol was easier to kick than I thought it would be. Cigarettes are proving tough, but I've never really made much of an attempt to quit. From what I understand, convincing yourself to quit is the hardest part... And Trust me, a sex addiction is fun on the surface, but it can be as much trouble as anything else. Even after kicking it, your mind still wanders and plots, especially with how readily accessible sex/porn is on the internet. And no, I'm not talking about this fake Tiger Woods, self-indulgent, top of the world, excuse for when you get caught crap. Which seems to be the case with most celebrity sex addictions.

Once you get your priorities straight(family, work) it's a matter of finding that glue to fill the voids.. For some it's religion, for me it's baseball/music.

Congratulation to Adrian!! 1000 posts, in what has to be record time!
I think Adrian is a wonderful member of net54. Eccentric perhaps but at least he is not a dried up prune of a curmudgeon like some of you/us constipated old farts. Many happy decades from now, Adrian might just be one of the leading lights of the hobby. I have no doubt that Adrian is a good man. Dave Pierson:)

Cardboard Junkie

Thanks sir that means a LOT to me!!!:)

I just want to add there are a LOT of good people here as well!!!

Post # 14

Adrian, I think I have posted this concern before several weeks ago. You do not seem like a bad guy to me. You are putting way too much personal information out there on the internet. This is potentially dangerous. In my profession, I defend people charged with crimes. Many are good people who have made bad choices. But, make no mistake, there are some really bad guys out there who could easily track you down based on the information you are volunteering. Smarter people than you have been scammed and/or injured because of personal information like this. There is no reason to let people know how much money you have to spend or how valuable your collection is or to share very personal information about your childhood or health issues that a scammer could use against you. Please be careful.

+1. Addresses can be found in about 5 clicks, even in Canada. I just did it.

People with criminal records can't even enter Canada for one...second my 2 neighbors are RCMP officers (same thing as the FBI) and third I did over 20 years of martial arts....kempo karate (I am a second degree black belt), aikido (I have my 1st degree black belt) and mixed martial arts so I can more than defend myself....you forget I lived in the poorest neighborhoods when I was young and had to defend myself a LOT (probably close to 100 times) of times on the streets. My dad was a very aggressive man and very strong when he was not sick he started me at the age of around 5 in martial arts.

And finally ALL (and that is not many) my valuables are in 2 separate banks in their vaults....and even if the person tortured me and said he would kill me if I do not comply I would let him simply kill me (I would NEVER honor his requests no matter what he said or did) that is if he was able to get to that point without me defending myself.

Guns are very hard to come by in Canada as well.

I do not act like a tough guy (martial arts showed me to respect others unless I am in danger of course) with people but I sure can defend myself if need be.

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

Am I in a movie?

Sure seems like it.........

Do we have conclusive evidence that Adrian isn't the guy from A Beautiful Mind?:eek:

Glad members gave him selling advice...these are his listings in the last few days??? Fastest to 1000 posts and the most listings/cancels for just a few cards in a few days. He is a record breaker :)

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=...mplete=1&rt=nc

it might be more towards Steven Segal starring in Rainman II, what happens in Vegas................

Looks like the Mantle quest is over too. He goes through collecting focuses like Steinbrenner through managers.

bender07

No the Mantle quest is not over it was a way for me to save the images of the cards I purchased just in case I do decide to up grade to PSA 9's one day and that I do not have a camera (before Ebay takes the images down). I am not the best with computers so I just figured that was the way I would do it. I listed the cards then took them off right away...now I have pictures of my cards for the future if need be. Do you see my Mantle cards up for sale...NO....why...because I am telling you guys the truth!!!!

As for the T206's I did not know what the hell I was doing never sold a baseball card in my life on Ebay so I tried a LOT of various listings....that is why I came here for listing advise. I listened to the advise and listed them for 0.99$ for a 10 day listing without a reserve price.

Geezzzz some of you guys make up stories in your mind!!! Just ask me in private I will tell you the truth of why I do this or that. I am sticking with the 52 Topps set and the Mantle master set that and my T206 Red Murray error card....that is it for a long while....and ''maybe'' a E90-1 Caramel Shoeless Joe Jackson rookie...if I can find a nice looking one at a decent price.

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

For once in my life...i can see the future...its so vivid and clear!

Ugh, okay. So you created 5 different listings for your Mantles with titles like "low buy it now 1525$ value" so you could save the images. Makes sense.

bender07

Believe what you want to believe the Mantle cards are NOT I repeat NOT for sale. I even added a few to my set this week. I deleted my 1st time saving them on Ebay ("low buy it now 1525$ value")...then decided it would be best to save the images hence why I did it twice. I was not sure I wanted yes or no to go after PSA 9 Mantle cards because of their cost...still not sure.

Again do you see them up for sale...no...again why...simple because they are not for sale. Do you see any of my 52 Topps up for sale or my T206 Red Murray error card...no...because they are not for sale. Do you see my 52 Topps Mantle up for sale...no...why because I will die before I sell it and it will go to my niece...I think this should be clear enough!!!

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

Adrian I empathize with your issues but why do you have to post 15 times a day when one or two is good enough for everyone else here? It seems to bespeak a certain narcissism, no?

Makes perfect sense.
