And by the way...

EBay CHARGES the seller 1% of his RESERVE price to list his item...

so BigEd paid $2,250 just to LIST this card!!!

That seems like a LOT of money to spend on the "slim chance" that someone might meet the Reserve and buy the card for 3 times more than the last one sold for in REA a few months ago.

Call me crazy...

but I think this was $2,250 spent on an ADVERTISING campaign for the card.



Andy:

Your example is different.

If I call YOU and I make the first move... then sure, you have the right to say "My cards are not for sale, but I will sell them for a crazy price." Heck, you do it to me everytime I try.

In fact, I will try again right now:

"How much will you sell me your SGC 20 E107 Wagner for? There is an SGC 40 coming on the market in a month, but I am willing to pay good money for yours right now."
