Anyone have a guess as to why this card sold today for $1,000 less than it normally sells for?

Gotta be the lack of FB history. A green Cobb is probably not the card one should choose for his or her first attempt at selling on eBay.

YOu're probably right. So what does one do if you want to sell high-end cards on ebay and you have a limited Seller history as I do unfortunately)?

In addition to having no selling history, the seller also does not take Paypal. I am sure potential buyers were scared off when there is no buyer protection through Paypal or through credit card companies.

The card is also not listed that great, it does not even have t206 or 1909-1911 in the title line.

Low feedback, no pay pal, and white spots on the green backround. A nice price if it works out for the buyer. I was scared off by the low feedback and no pay pal.

Wrong spot for this post though.

I would have to agree that it wasn't marketed correctly. When I do a search I always put in T206 and the players name. I think that is what hurt him.

All of the above
-low feedback
-crappy listing
-even crappier title

I didn't even see this card because I only search T206 and T-206.

Seller didnt even list that it was a t206 in the title. Someone remarked above that he searches with t206 not t-206. Well this guy didnt use either one, so either way you wouldnt have seen it.

it's not hard to miss a "cobb psa" search. of course most collectors here don't do psa so they may've missed it . i was willing to pay my bid amount ($500) but alot of red flags on this auction, most glaring the seller putting Piedmond on title but not T206 Piedmont (it's right there on the slab). still looks to be a low-end 4 but if it's legit the buyer got a great deal. seller's bought some expensive coins, so he got that going for himself...

dapnj,
If you have high-value cards that you want to sell on ebay and have low feedback, you are better off consigning the cards to somebody who has a good reputation for selling high-end cards like the ones you have. Old Cardboard's website lists the top ebay sellers. A good bet would be Legacy Sports Rarities. A small consignment fee is more than made up for by increased results.

If the seller is in fact legitimate and the card is sent to the auction winner then the seller just learned a HUGE lesson in selling items on ebay.

If the seller is not legitimate and the buyer never receives the card after paying for it then the buyer just learned a HUGE lesson in buying items on ebay.

In either case the lesson is going to cost over $1K to somebody.
