Auction advice? First timer...

[Belfast1933]

I’m thinking of posting a couple of cards for sale - I’m more collector than seller but have sold 40-50 cards via e-bay and all have gone very well

But I’d like to give Net54baseball a spin to sell - nothing too heavy to sell.... 71 topps Munson and 76 Topps Brett (both ungraded).

Like many, am trying to sell my dupes to fund my other needs.

Any experienced advice to share? Auction vs static pricing? EBay vs Net54baseball?

Thx for advice - or maybe earlier threads have addressed this for other “bushers” like me?

A lot to unpack . . .

Ebay charges a fee for your sales. No fees here.

Many many more eyeballs on eBay than here.

If you consign to an auction house they will reach a lot of people but may charge you a fee.

The crowd here is not really into run of the mill stuff. If your cards are ordinary and only worth a few bucks you may not find a lot of interest in them here.

Just a few thoughts.

Wow, fast! Thx... yeah, my stuff is like everyone else’s so probably not a very exciting fit here.

You should still do well in the BST.......take a look at some of the stuff there. Nothing that really knocks your socks off. The Munson card is something the guys would like....

I extremely disagree with Steve on regular stuff doesn't do well here. He personally might not buy it but there are a LOT of us that do.

Both would sell well on COMC. Although if the '76 Brett is NM+ or better, you might need to grade it for full value.

I agree! for example, there is a consistent supply of unopened baseball and basketball packs from the late 80s and early 90s. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have partaken on multiple occasions, can't get much more vanilla than that!

Deans card prices divided by 2 minus 10% = B/S/T price.

I would agree with this if it is priced right. Doesn't have to be given away, but if it is overpriced it likely won't move. Priced reasonable for what you have and you should be fine here.

Ok, willing to give it a try.... suggest auction or fixed price sale?

The biggest difference is there are no fees selling in the BST section. So you can list them at 15% cheaper than eBay and still get the same cash in your pocket.

Both regular listings and auctions in the BST have done well for me in the past.

Biggest thing is decent pics and list exactly what type of payment(s) method you prefer.
