Auction House vs. eBay vs. Net 54 BST

[smtjoy]

Auction House for scarce cards (like what you listed) that the value is somewhat unknown and/or have few past transactions. You want a the chance for a bidding war. I use ebay but more work for you, do a 7 day auction with the minimum set at the lowest you are ok selling the card.

I would use the BST if you had a good idea of what you wanted for each card or they are sold multiple times each month, ie like a common T206 P 150 SGC 40 and have a pretty stable value range on VCP.

I'm sorry to hear that Todd. I hope your wife finds work soon. Things would be very difficult for my wife and I if either of us did not / could not find work. Others on Net54 can give you the insight you are searching for, I'm just offering good wishes to you and your family and that I hope things work out well for you.

thank you to everyone that have sent messages with their Well Wishes.

I certainly have some options available for Auction Houses too.

Regards

Another consideration, Todd, would be how quickly you want payment. BST or eBay for quicker payment, auctions not so much.

Some AHs will advance you some cash though.

Sterling. Monthly auctions and quick payment and 0% for slabbed cards.

I have noticed that the only way to get guys on this board to open their wallets (myself included) is to pit them against other buyers in an auction setting. I am often amazed at what is left unbought on the B/S/T.

For what it is worth, I have had good luck with the BST so far. I have sold about 15 cards and acquired around the same number in the last six-nine months. The sales have largely been less than $125 though and so doesn't really go to the question of how to sell the rarer items.

Especially for extremely rare cards. The amount of times I have seen a true rarity on the BST forum get scooped up and sold via Auction House/ebay is crazy.

Use the BST for anything that you know the value of definitively.

I think there are times when the BST is good and times when Auction Houses are good. Many folks would rather go to auction than pay for a high end card privately....then many times they go for more in auction (as stated)...

Rarer/Tougher stuff = Auction House. There are many great ones out there, small-medium-Big Dog

Auction house may get top prices, but as some said it doesn't hurt to try and name your price on B/S/T. There's no fees! The ball is in your court there.

On high value items the auction house is best in my opinion.

But, I sold many items that were under $1000.00 on ebay.

I never had much luck on the BST but I probably was asking too much
