Default Auction dollars spent vis a vis ebay dollars spent

Posted By: Dave Williams

There are nearly 3000 different auctions for cards pre 1940 on Ebay right now.

That is nearly double the auctions for 1940 to 1979 stuff.

Simple supply and demand says for average, run of the mill vintage stuff that the price would seemingly go down as the numbers go up.

However, there are certainly more people such as myself back actively buying on a limited budget as well. But since there a lot of items, unless there is something I really want I just pass and wait for bargains.

I'd say Ebay seems to be a better place to pick stuff up than to sell it, unless it's been graded and comes in pretty high.

I know I can't afford much in those Mastro and other auctions.
