Regarding "Clarence" in the title - yes, that would help. When one or both of the players' names is common, many buyers save their favorite payer's full name in their searches. For instance, I look for Steve Carlton cards. Without including both Steve and Carlton in my saved searches, they would yield too many results. As for 99 cent opening bids, they're a gamble. There are items which perform spectacularly, some that draw no interest, and others which sell at the "market" price. Of course, there are also some shilled to high heaven which give the illusion of success. It's a mixed bag. If you have a general price in mind, set your starting bid accordingly or list as a buy-it-now. Take eBay recommendations for what they are: recommendations; not mandates. Start your auction at a bid you're comfortable with. If it doesn't sell right away, take advantage of the "relist for free" feature. I'm legitimately trying to help. If it comes off as condescending, please know that's not my intention.

I hope it at least went to a good collector home. I stopped selling on eBay a long time ago. I still search t213 and n172, but those rarely show up anymore, and if a seller did not put those designations in their title, I missed them. They took away the pre-war category because they don't want hobbyists selling on the platform.

I know it's not easy to hear but this was a valid suggestion/critique. Last edited by Tabe; 09-05-2022 at 01:34 AM. |

Sorry Tim it stinks when your items sell for far less than they ever should. I have stopped auctions in ebay when they eliminated all categories and make things nearly impossible to find without specific searches. BIN only for me if I sell on ebay.

I'm saying if I run an auction that simply says "BASEBALL CARD" then maybe I deserve what I get. That auction title left A LOT to be desired. How about taking constructive criticism and realizing that a weak title might have had something to do with the weak price instead of simply attacking people simply for pointing out what was done wrong?? I'm done.

I've found that the $0.99 starting bids work really well for popular search items like T206's. Anything that has value, but is somewhat more obscure, I usually list as a Buy it Now.
But, I wouldn't sweat it. No one likes to sell a card way below value. Its probably happened to most of us. There's been times where a card will sell for way more than I thought it should, hopefully they balance each other out.

eBay asked sellers not to use all capital letters. It's gone downhill from there. They did however allow for a longer title early on.
For 26 years I have utilized every single space. I consider it an artform. I have also listed certain items for .99. I have done so for moderately expensive items (excess 150.-200.) that I anticipate will sell at or above their historical selling levels with a high degree of certainty. Get two people interested and sit back is my general philosophy. Finally I take excellent LARGE scans/pictures of all sides of an item AND I try and be as accurate as possible in my description. Navigating the bay as buyer and seller seemingly gets more difficult each year as they "progress" more with the investor in mind than the users. That's why one must be as robust in attention to detail as possible if one continues to list on WePay. I still sell there using the auction format - listing 100 or so items a few times a year. It's not for everybody but give yourself the best shot.. Please excuse the stream of consciousness. no guarantees whether written or implied. |

Hiya, Tim!
I would think a raw card with minimal description would have people pass. Plus the listing indicates no returns. Just trying to help. |
