selling...
Glchen has some great points about ebay selling. Sometimes I put higher starting bids on items, or list as BIN with reasonable prices. If someone wants a card, it will sell with reasonable prices. If I don't care so much and just want to sell, then auction with $9.99 starting point makes sense - at least you weed out the penny ante low bids.
If an auction with low start price does not bring my ideal selling price, I go back, look how much I paid, and usually I realize I got a pretty good deal on the card in the first place - so all ok.
My biggest "burn" has been with REA on a 1939 Ted Williams Rookie PSA 8 - don't ask, but I took a bath on that one, ouch. I have not consigned to a major auction house since.
