PWCC is Placing Banner Ads on EBay

[savedfrommyspokes]

Can't speak for PWCC's overall results from their most recently concluded baseball monthly auction, but based on some of my wins in the first auction and a close price on a card I considered in the most recent auction, clearly some advertising somewhere needs to be done.

In my case, Ebay sell prices have exceeded their sell prices. On ebay over the last month, there were two copies of a PSA 7 HOFer RC from a 50s set I'm working on that both had fairly equal eye appeal. I was an under bidder on one that sold at $650+, I grabbed the second one at $675+. A week later, a 3rd copy, similar with visual appeal, sold via PWCC for $480. Obviously I should have waited and bid on this 3rd copy, but...

I had two wins in the 1st monthly auction that fell 15-20% below recent ebay sell prices, not as significant as the one from this month.

Obviously a very small sample size, but I don't recall such significant variances in close prices while they were on ebay.

If I were PWCC and seeing a higher than normal percentage of results such as this, I would be advertising too.

I feel the same way. There were some surprising bargains in the 1st auction.
E.g. a 1956 Topps Clemente PSA 4 went for only $340. I picked up a 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese PSA 3 (as well as some other bargains) for only $280--well below ebay prices.

I do feel there were fewer bargains in this 2nd auction. Maybe some people sat on the sidelines of the 1st auction waiting for the kinks to be worked out?
