Gilbert MainesI do see your feedback affecting both your ability to sell ungraded cards and the price that you will achieve with them. Of course, Im not saying that it can not be done. You are doing it.
What I am saying is that collectors get burned. If some knowledgable collectors employ a philosophy of erring on the side of caution; a great many more less knowledgable collectors do as well.
It is not so much a question of "does a seller with a feedback of 48 present a situation of questionable legitimacy" as much as it is "does a seller with a feedback of 48 present a situation of questionable knowledge".
Although I have encountered sellers with good feedback totalling over 1000 who did not have the knowledge necessary to distinguish a good (infrequently traded) card from a bad one. I believe that with increased experience of the seller, a buyer is less likely to be exposed to unsound offerings.
