Its funny how that works right?

I would love to know how many dealers vs collectors are buying in these auctions.

Now it seems more like 40% of the items and are at 4 times the prices and set on eBay for twice as long.

Picked up a Transogram complete box for my McCovey collection.

And the price seemed reasonable to me.

Unfortunately I fell asleep and missed out on the two Memphis T210 cards I was looking at. Bummer.

Congratulations.

I was in early on those boxes but quickly pivoted to other areas of interest. Price doesn't seem bad to me but I have absolutely no idea on comps.

My larger wins in this one were the near complete set of Icee Bear basketball and the "standard set" of Atlantic Oil baseball.

Buyers premium always seems excessive. I do the mental math and always factor in 30% on top of the hammer price. You really have to do your homework to factor in a fair price that includes the premium. I think it screws over the sellers more than the buyers. At least the buyers know what they are gonna pay. Sellers have no idea what they will get.
