PWCC Auction Yet Again

[robw1959]

I also consigned an item that outsold my expectations, realizing well over the $2000 I was hoping for. I had listed it here on Net54 for $1995 without getting even a sniff of interest. Maybe Brent's ads, client emails, broker reputation, etc. have more to do with those high bids he gets than shill bidding after all. I certainly didn't shill my own item and still wound up with a result that was better than expected.

Same thing here. I listed 2 different cards on the BST here several months back and only received low ball offers. I sent those 2 cards into PWCC and both cards not only sold for more than I was asking on the BST, but I cleared more than I was asking even after the PWCC fees came out. I did not bid on my lots, I didn't have any friends or family members or acquaintances bid on my lots. I also never even advertised my cards were listed with PWCC like some others do. Only complaint I really had is how long it took to get paid.

Hey I'm really glad for you guys. I just would take a little less and know that my stuff was being sold by an ethically responsible company.

I'll stick with the few auctions I trust.

Ok, if you don't want to do business with these guys fine. No need to disparage people who do as mindless idiots. There are some really nice AHs (love of the game and mile high quickly come to mind) and others that I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw them. I did a quick sample last night for sh*ts and giggles of recent high end Ruth Goudey sales and its abundantly clear that PWCC's prices are no higher and in many many cases lower that the leading AHs. The pages of hyperbole these guys crank out clearly work. If you want to think otherwise that's your prerogative.

I really didn't mean to disparage anyone.

These are the joys of a free market.

Compared to the prices we will run into at the national, PWCC might be a bargain.

I have won a few cards from PWCC - smooth and easy, and paid what I wanted. Now I am not sure if multitudes of consignors bid on their own stuff, and I really do not care - so be it if it happens. I am sure that they are more than willing to ante up whatever fee is involved, so that is their business/gamble and not mine. I will only pay what I am willing to pay.

I will continue to bid on his auctions, as he consistently brings choice material to the market every single. That works for all of us.
