Has anyone had ANY kind of success selling cards in a Facebook Group??

I sell about 90% on facebook and 10% on ebay. If you get into the good, trusted groups you'll do just fine. If you get into any that have the words "keep it real" in the title, get ready for douchebag city.

But in all seriousness, it's a great way to buy and sell and you can save a lot of money on seller fees. I've met a number of great people as well.

I've had very few problems, but that's because I'm careful where I list and who I sell to. Asking for vouches from members of the group about someone I'm about to make a deal with is always a good idea if I'm new to the group or not familiar with the other party. I use PayPal mainly for payments. I've also used Venmo and even accepted cash. There are groups for whatever you're into. Some of my favorites are Tobacco Row, Tobacco Card Collectors, Vintage Non Sports Pre 1984, any of Harmon's groups, Don Mattingly Collectors, Vintage Baseball Cards. I'm also an admin for both Vintage Yankees Baseball Cards and Vintage Yankees Memorabilia. Both of those are great groups as well.

And Leon, I do a fair amount of buying here on the BST as well. I've had many successful transactions over the years. I should have put that in my initial post. This site has been an invaluable source of information for me.

This site has been great to me. I don't get spoken down to like I am a 5 year old here. That was the first thing I noticed about the group I am trying to sell in.

This was a pic I posted to show them the type of stuff I had....



I literally had to explain why I couldn't price a 1955 Bowman Hank Aaron that looked like it would grade a '7' or an '8' at the price of what a PSA 2 would bring!!! That being said, what type of price is usually in line for raw cards?? Do ya'll predict what they would grade and knock $50 off?

I have sold a lot of graded cards on a couple of facebook groups with no issues

I'm in a football group that is extremely active.

A post/photo like that would get shredded. It's low effort, doesn't show the cards well, isn't well-lit, and has a giant flash hiding one of the cards.

When you say they're treating you like a newb, what - specifically - are they saying? What are you doing or saying that's making people say those things?

That was just a rough idea pic. For individual cards, I would obviously use my scanner. Front and back. My question is, at what price point are you pricing raw cards at??? Are you predicting what they would grade and knocking a little bit off?

Hopefully folks in this thread also use the BST here. There are a ton of transactions.
I have picked up for my collection as well as have bought, traded and sold a ton of stuff there.

I need to start listing more in here. I am ashamed at how much stuff I have accumulated.
