It's actually not the worst idea in the world.

Still, I've seen them post some breathtakingly high prices. A couple years ago, I was looking for a 1980 Topps Phillies team card. They were asking nearly $100 for a *PARTIAL* Phillies team set, raw.

Still makes me chuckle...

There are tons of people on ebay posting breathtakingly high prices on commodity cards. I don't get it, but whatever.

Several years ago I posted 5-6 T202’s on the BST for what I considered strong prices so that I would have room to lower a little to make a sale. Deans bought all of them for my asking price and paid very promptly. It was a very easy deal.

His prices may be high but no one here is forced to buy from him. Not sure why everyone piles on him, if you don’t like his prices, move on to another seller.

Somehow, a raw 1980 Bob Boone doesn't seem like a commodity card...if that card was even in the partial set, I don't recall.

I've seen some crazy high prices and some very realistic market prices from them. It really depends on the card. He's probably in no hurry to sell the 1952 Mantle. I think when you have huge cards like that, sometimes they're more used as marketing listings to draw people into your eBay store or website. He isn't really interested in selling that card at all (unless someone wants to overpay for it of course), but he knows that listing it on eBay at any price brings him more clicks on his other listings.

Good Point
Never thought about it as a Draw to his "store"
Not sure on that but good thought and different way to view it

Thanks
