Ebay vs Net54

[jbsports33]

good discussion, but having this on the main board may have others interested

I like using both, mostly eBay due to the format and listings and templates which I have use for many years, will be starting to spread sales around more in other directions like the B/S/T

Thanks Net54 for having the great resources

Jimmy, I posted this thread in this forum for a reason that is probably very obvious to almost everyone who is reading it. If you look at the 'for sale' thread in the same vicinity you will get it.

This just goes to show I don't read every thread.

btw, Scott F. if you want me to copy this back to the other thread in the BST, I can do that too. But it's a good main board discussion also....

Thanks Leon, but I think those guys are correct. I was just being hard-headed.

Thanks.

I try and look at all the sections when I can , just thought it would be good for others to read the posts that have already been done. Have to get back to some real work now - but hey maybe we will get more responses this way

I've learned more from the original post than I expected.

Ebay bucks, discount and promotional coupons, and just general ease of use are the main reasons I will buy from ebay. However, I do check the BST here everyday and would prefer to buy here rather than ebay.

Unless your username here is the same as your username on ebay, I probably wouldn't even think to reach out to you. Also, when buying from an ebay auction listing, I would assume that the card would not be available here on the BST correct? When I do search ebay BIN's, I normally only buy if the price seems really good to me. One time I did recognize the ebay username from this site. I did think that maybe I should contact the seller here. But the price seemed really good and I was afraid that if I waited for him to respond via PM here that I would miss out. You know - "you snooze, you lose".

Selling on Net54 depends on what you are selling. I have tried to sell some W572 cards here and due to limited audience, they do not always sell even if you say the price is negotiable. They always sell on ebay although you may not get what they are worth. Now selling E121 or more popular cards are easy to sell on Net54

never understood how when someone sells something on ebay, you can say 'may not get what they are worth'

I know there are highs and lows..but but part of being what a card is 'worth' is knowing what the low end it could go for in a bad week....

now selling to one person for a fixed price...I understand selling for less than what its worth....assuming even bad week auctions the item would of sold for higher than what it sold for to the individual for a fixed price..

My point is that listing them on Net54 for some of the cards, there are sometimes not even one inquiry where if they are listed on Ebay at a reasonable starting price, they almost always sell.

Scott if you had tried asking me a question, not sure I understand - just got back from work to see if anyone had more thoughts on the topic

No, I just said that I learned a lot more from this thread than I expected - lots of insights that had never crossed my mind.
