It's gotten to the point where I almost never look at eBay anymore. The stuff I'm interested in is rarely run as eBay auctions and the fixed prices on most are ridiculous. While I agree that people can ask whatever price they choose, when said prices are routinely listed at 2x-5x what the same item last sold for at auction, I'm just wasting my time even looking.

eBay seems to be a bit of a broken market on photos. Sure economists have a better team. But when the ask is miles from a reasonable bid, basically the market is not functioning.
I agree it almost not worth looking at eBay. RMY and some of the other AHs are really the place to look.

There’s another eBay guy who does the same thing with another specific memorabilia category (not photos)…buys from auction houses, doubles or triples what he paid and they sit forever…I don’t get it.

About seven years ago I sold a photo of Briggs Stadium form a 1945 Negro League game which may have featured Jackie Robinson. I sold it on eBay and was thrilled with the price I got for it. The buyer immediately put it back on eBay for five times the sales price. I believe it continues to be available at that same price seven years later. It’s a business model I just don’t get

Jackie is the most extreme example. Anything Jackie is priced to the moon and beyond.

Scott Gaynor has a lot of really cool photos in his auction ending next week on eBay. All started at 9.99 opening bids. I did consign some items to him, but the cool photos are not mine. I saw early photos of several HOFers and some Bain images too. His ebay username is estate-finders.

Photos
I agree with a lot that has been said on this topic. I just assume that people are casting a large net on eBay. I scroll through sometimes with no intention of buying. That said, like postcards, photos are often 1/1 or very low pop unlike cards…so the cool images of key players will likely continue to be in high demand. I think that long term, photos that are historically significant are the best purchase in the hobby these days…lots of up-side and in some cases still somewhat affordable.
