Show was busy but not as busy as times past. I really struggle with the pricing. I thought the new tax requirements would get some vendors to sell below Ebay comps, but every time I asked what the price on something was - I was told what the item sells for on Ebay. Even when I offered cash on a few things, the lowest the seller would go was 5-10% above Ebay comps. SMH[/QUOTE]
Older Dealer at that show had a 51 Bowman Mantle for 4K over VCP average. I told him what the comps were and he said he didn’t care and that he will eventually sell it one day. I encountered a lot of very high prices and stale inventory that I know was there the last few shows. I think that’s the problem today, the dealers can’t adjust down and won’t acknowledge that the COViD craze is over.
