General Question about Set Buying on Ebay

[JollyElm]

Holy crap, guys!! I thought I would bump this thread because I ran across one of the most ridiculous cases on 'Deanitis' I have ever seen.

I decided to check on a 1972 Wayne Garrett #518 and look what appeared!! You can't make this stuff up. His card has very similar centering and tilting as the 99 cent card above his...but he decided to have his opening bid start at $148.49!!!! $148.49 for a common!!!!!!!!!! Almost one hundred and fifty dollars for a card everyone else sells for a buck!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are looking at it all wrong. Dean's Cards only has to sell 1 card and they make more cash then someone else selling 200 of the same card. The problem is finding 1 sucker, I mean customer to buy it.

Apparently douch*bag Dean reads this forum, because he started eliminating his company name from his auction titles. Now we can't weed out his BS with a simple "-Dean" anymore. What a complete and utter d*ck!!!!!!!

(And yes, I realize I'm personifying the entire company with the use of "Dean" as a single person. But someone's in charge over there and he'll always be Dean to me.)

"Dean's Cards" took advantage of my wife a while back, that guy can go screw himself.

I also have wondering the mystery surrounding Dean's prices. Form his video, it appears that he is supporting an Admin staff of 10-12. So therein is the overhead to support the prices.
I am a collector of the following sets: 54, 58-59, 63-64 and 66-67. Have 63,66 and 67 complete and close on 54 and 59. Also collect 65 tall boy FB missing only 3 cards.
After I complete these I'm a bit unless about where I go. 62, 68 and 71 appear to be on the radar. I do not intend to collect 55-56 or 60-61. I just don't care for the format. 65 BB seem to show the diamond cut situation much more to me than other formats, same with 72.
I also collect 67 wacky packages which I had as a kid. Would like to collect 64-67 hockey but it's way over by pricing strategy.
Used to collect 68-69 Shirriff hockey coins. Very tough to complete.

Someday, a set of RedMan.

Lastly, Greg Morris cards from CA are top quality and I always look at his stuff.
