I dont belive for one second n54 collectors aren't in tune with the market.


I've notice n54 buyers are notriously the cheapest, as many of my items sell for higher, even after fees, eventually on ebay!

It's not apples to apples. Memorabilia and cards are inherently different.

But I do agree with you that net54 Buyers tend to be let's say "thrifty".

Net54 members are like PacMan Jones "Making it rain" in a strip joint compared to Facebook buyers, who are the "let me think about it and never get back to you" kings of the collecting jungle.

I'm a member of a few collecting groups on Facebook, but I don't see myself making a deal there. While the occasional BST deal goes bad here, at least the moderators are willing to step in. Facebook seems like the Wild West.

Bubble has burst? Huh? What? When? The freaking cards that I want keep going up!

Putting a card (or anything else) up for sale without an asking price, just a note that you are taking offers, is really just seeing if anyone is a bigger fool than you are.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Not all have come back to Earth. There are always exceptions.

I think the item matters a lot. If I post a T206 common in a PSA 3 holder and ask for offers, that is kind of obnoxious since I can easily find the value.

However what if I was on the fence about selling this card (it's not actually for sale)? Pretty tough to put a price on it, and even if I was thinking of selling, I'd be conflicted about it. Someone would have to convince me.

I imagine that some of the time you see "make an offer" it's because the seller"

1. Doesn't know the value precisely
2. Doesn't want to leave $ on the table (and maybe they like the card and keeping it is very much on the table)
3. Doesn't want to annoy anyone by pulling a number out of the air and having people think it's too high.

I am the cheapest, hands down.

Another BST purchase... Personally I have seen some great cards and great deals there.
