Is this really a buyer’s market?

It's a great deal. I sold one of my 48 Leaf Jackies there for $15k and my total fees came to $602.50.

A lot of people don't know this. I have buyers trying to negotiate with me on other platforms and they always assume I'm paying 10-15% in ebay fees until I tell them otherwise. They're always surprised. Ebay should market their fee structure to this hobby. I bet it would get a lot of nice high end cards back to their platform. Many of the large AHs are basically just stealing money from us, IMO. The smaller auction houses that deal with mostly lower value cards, it makes sense. But with the big ones who won't even return your phone call for less than $25k, those guys are just robbing everyone blind.

If you have cards to sell worth substantially more than $2500 each, the store makes sense. If not, you are paying 13.25% on the entire amount paid including taxes and shipping plus $0.30 per order.

Another good option for cards above $1,000 is to send them to Probstein. He only charges 5% total fees for anything above that threshold. But ya, if you're selling cheaper cards, then you're going to be paying high fees pretty much anywhere, except for MySlabs, which is about 5%. But buyers expect a discount there, so you'll pay for it one way or another. Sorta like selling at shows.

Well, you can sell them on Net54 and pay nothing

Traditionally, they are known to "know the market" better than most
