I simply say, I'm considering buying XYZ, what do you have that is comparable? I bought three items this year doing that.
I never collected pennants. After watching the pennant thread for two years, I reached out to a common poster and he said it was perfect timing, he was just about to send a package to auction. I ended up with my first two Reds pennants.
The community at Net54 is a great group of collectors. And if a person is patient, participates in threads, and tries to make friends here, great items will come their way.

I hope that most members feel the same.
I joined earlier this year and took a while to get the feel of things before bidding on a couple of live auctions. That went well and I bought few other things from members. Each time, I've been very happy with the results.
Like you, I bought my first pennants via Net54.
In the last month or so, I've put a few items for sale in BST. (Hopefully, I've been fair in my prices.) My rule of thumb is the eBay price ess the fees I'd save + a bit more discount because I'm more confident about the calibre of buyer on Net54. Its a little trickier for me because I need to account for shipping from the UK.
Ultimately, if no-one buys items that are over-priced, prices will come down or those sellers will move on.
My biggest challenge when buying on Net54 is that good items go fast.
