last time I ever listen to ebay and start an auction at 99 cents....

FMV would be about $40-60. I guess you'd be thrilled to sell your cards for one-eighth of their value?

It’s all relative. I’m not going to sweat $50.00.

Sorry Tim--I wish I had seen it. As you know, that card pose is m101-5 only.

If cheapass me had seen it, it would have likely been $20+ all that extra add-on dough, and I still probably would not have won the thing.

Damn Brian, I tried to remove my arguably condescending post (because I'm trying to be nicer in my old age) but you quoted it before I did, hahaha.

I guess God, in her infinite wisdom, wanted my words left for the world to see.

I don't think a Sunday night of a long holiday weekend (when Monday is a day off) is the best time to end an auction either.

^^^^^ This ^^^^^^ as well as the weak title, a raw card described as better than it actually looks, and a holiday weekend. What could possibly go wrong?

I haven't sold on Ebay in a long time, having given up during their "rule of the week" phase.

I do know that some people make pretty decent money making things more likely to be found or ranked higher by search engines, it's become a whole specialty. And one I don't know much about.

What I did find when I was selling was that better pictures always equaled better sales.

didn't you already say this at least once?

The big guy/girl upstairs (Edwin or perhaps Edwina, I can't tell) commanded me to remove a certain earlier quote, so I have done so by quoting a later post.

All I know is this person plods heavily on the floorboards above me.
