On an added note, I DO base my prices on what I think it will grade at, and what I think it will bring. If that bothers people, then move along.

One more thing I would like to see from sellers and buyers both: honor the auction format. Sellers, finish the auction. Let it run. Buyers: don't complain on boards like this one that there are no auctions on eBay only to pitch a fit when a seller running an auction refuses to end it early because you offer him three bucks above the listing price.

I've had several of those too. One guy bid, reneged, NARU'd, then made up a new ID and won the card and reneged again. I ended up selling to the underbidder instead of relisting because I was afraid this twit would screw up my sale a third time if I relisted.

Geez it sounds like a complete nightmare to be a card seller on Ebay.

It's got flaws but it is a good, fast marketplace, pretty secure, and ends up being where I sell most of my stuff simply because I do not have really expensive stuff for sale and I hate the way AH's lump that sort of material into grab bags. You just have to carefully explain things so that people do not get unrealistic expectations.

I have been on eBay since pretty much the beginning. In my personal experience 1 or 2 transactions per 100 are a pain in the ass. That ration has been consistent for me for the last 25 or so years. |

Thank goodness for eBay. Haven’t ever had a serious problem there with around 1000 buy/sell transactions give or take. Always able to get better prices than anywhere else.

I've offered a seller to end an auction once. I won it for 10% of my offer. A number of sellers have claimed to have "lost or misplaced" a card I got a good price on at auction, then magically found it again to relist an hour later. Others have honored auction results that I would have a hard time blaming them for reneging on. |

I'd say 90% of my listings are auctions with a $10 minimum bid, and the rest are auctions with higher minimums instead of a reserve. I like to let things play out. Sometimes I am disappointed in the outcome, most times the last three years, I am not.
