What’s the secret to selling cards on a large scale?

[David W]

There is a local auction house in Northern Indiana selling cards on their own auction website.

When I've gone to pick up cards I've bought, they usually have 3-5 college students sitting at tables taking pics with their phone and writing a basic (often wrong) description.

I bought a zip lock bag full of 1973 topps, mistyped as 1983 for $9. Got 2 G-VG Clementes and 2 Ryans, plus 300 other cards.

I Bought a lot of 200 or so 1978's with 2 Murrays, a Trammel/Whitaker in G-VG for $3.

Sometimes they take the time to list each individual junk era common. Since starting price is always $1 they might have 15% of the lots with no bids.

So if you have the wrong people doing the data entry you can lose money pretty easily.

Show me anywhere in my post where I even mentioned that I was looking for advice on how to do it. Not once did I say I wanted to do it I was just asking a basic simple question.

The title of the thread is asking what the secret to large scale selling is. Thus there are answers to the difficulties, because the naive assumption is false.

True,
But I was not asking for myself. Just a very generic curious question that’s all.

To which you got answers. You just don't like the answers. That does not make everyone else creepy, obsessive and weird. Message boards are to respond to the topic, not to parrot the OP's assumptions. If you want an echo chamber where only your assumptions are stated, write yourself an email.

Yeah, I never thought you were actually interested in doing anything.
