The Leon Luckey Type Card Collection – Bidding Ends on Thursday - August 13, 2015

[Econteachert205]

I have to say I'm in the camp of preferring ebay to auction houses. My reasons are similar to some stated. I hate registering for each different auction house. When an ebay auction ends, it actually ends!! I'm not a high end collector with an unlimited budget, so ebay keeps me limited to what's on ebay. Also I just want to pay through paypal if possible. I registered for Leon's auction because it was special and I wanted to participate. Even though I didn't win anything I'm glad to have bid. I collect a little bit of everything, and could register for endless art antique etc auctions. In the end there is really only one reason I stick to ebay. I AM LAZY.

Sure...I like buying cards on ebay too...but you just don't get the quality on ebay you get in the big AH's. So if you're looking for tough cards...you just don't see everyday...there's no other game!

I do eBay and pretty much all auction houses....

1. A fee is a fee. Bid accordingly
2. Life is FULL of ID's, what's a few dozen more
3. Life is all about inconveniences, why should auction houses be any different.
4. If you want the STUFF, you gotta play ball
5. That.is.all

1. no fee on ebay.
2. 12 - 36 more.
3. because this is my hobby. why would i want to be inconvenienced? other than a relatively few shipping hiccups, ebay process is simple.
4. not a t206 collector but i've found everything i've needed on ebay, expect my venezuelan ryan*.
5. and the beat goes on.

* and there have been 2 of these listed in the past 2 months after not seeing one listed for 4 years.

Regarding Pete's point that ebay is preferred but you have to go where the stuff is...
+ 2

And as a buyer I agree with Peter...and have since # 17 ....on buyer's premiums, but am certainly not bothered that others see it differently
