Jeff LichtmanScott, there are a number of factors that go into whether cards sell, many having nothing to do with the economy.
Yes, the economy is down and you're selling cards that are readily available in any market. However, you're selling on ebay and you're not committing fraud -- this is a problem. You've got auction houses that engage in obvious fraud and you've got consignors that shill their own cards as well in auctions. Both actions give the appearance that the market is stronger for such cards than what reality would dictate, hence your disappointment.
