Guys, I really appreciate your light-hearted response to my post

.
When I said 'slaughter me', I was referring to this post, not to Sunday night when many of you actually did

. It's all good - I have been testing various auction formats for slabbed and raw cards, and am still of the opinion that selling raw commons, or slabbed low to mid-grade non-rarities, individually on ebay in an auction-style format, is generally not in a seller's best interest. Thus, the high BIN's that you guys complain about.
Regarding high prices in the auction houses, I was surprised at what the complete T205 set went for in the Clean Sweep Auction Wednesday night - I had it valued at $30,000, cards priced individually. It went for about that, with the juice, me being the underbidder. Great, great set, with lots of higher-grade rarities.
