Oddly enough, eBay has picked up for me a bit recently.

Over the last 90 days, I've sold 8 pieces for ~$20k. Typically my sales are much slower. Naturally, this could just be a small sample size fluke, so you never know.

I'm also not a dealer, so I have a pretty limited inventory. Just 162 active items at the moment. And they're almost entirely obscure oddball issues that very few people actually want. Plus, most of my prices are high retail, approaching or some might argue even exceeding museum pricing.

But for whatever reason lately, buyers have been willing to bite the bullet and pay my asking price, or something close enough to entice me to accept their offer.

Of course, I've never been a big lister on the BST. Almost all of my stuff is postwar, with very thin demand. That and most of the buyers here aren't looking to pay museum prices. So while I've listed a few things in the past, it just didn't seem like it was going to be a great venue for me based on my inventory.

At the same time, if someone here wants to buy something from my eBay listings offline, then I'm happy to offer an offline discount. And I've managed to sell a few pieces that way over the last several months too.
