You have 3 tries at an offer.

I sent an offer today on a card. Awaiting response as I type.

They might be totally fine with it since they don’t need to hold the inventory nor is it their main service, but I could see this turning into another eBay museum.

Hope you enjoy the antiquities!

As long as the fee's do not get too out of hand (5% introductory now but what will they end up at?) I would definitely use this service in the future as a seller. And I really like the make an offer option.

While a some things seemed to be priced out of this world I would say the vast majority is priced within reality. When I took a look yesterday I saw at least a dozen pieces already marked as sold (I think all were under $4k items). I haven't looked into the terms but I wonder if REA will put a time limit on unsold listed items?

I've sold 3 items already. One was bought outright and two others were offers I accepted. I'm quite happy with the service being available.

Greg, was it Bonehead or Rube that priced the three cards you sold? You have to figure, after seeing the prices of a lot of items in the venue, if you sold three already, then the price must have been a good deal for someone and will be pushed back to the venue at twice the price.

Just kidding. It's nice to hear that someone has been able to sell a few items through this portal. Good luck with the rest of your items (if you have any more for sale).

I put 24 pieces on, priced them at 105% of VCP average. Sold 4 within 24 hours with 3 at the listed price. Super easy as a seller without having to deal with any hassle. So as long as the fees don’t get too high, I will use for liquid items.

I think anything that offers people another option to buy or sell cards is a good addition to the hobby.

My suggestions are that you should be able to "watch" an item and that (like the auction) you should be able to see more than 100 lots per page (most other auction houses offer a 200, 250, or "all" option).

I agree I can see it as an Ebay Museum

Some of those prices are alot higher than the current market will support but at least it has the offer options

The selection of the cards for their rollout is impressive

Am I missing something, or can you not get to their new marketplace from their Home page? The only way I could find it from their Home page was to click on The Auction at the top of the page then choose Bid Now. Then at the top of the window, I now see Marketplace to click on. Seems like there should be something on the Home page to make it easier to find.

That's the way I accessed the marketplace as well. I didn't see a link anywhere on the home page, which I thought was odd.

You can go straight to BID NOW and it will allow you to select MARKETPLACE.

Yes, that's what I said I did. Since it's not something that involves bidding, it isn't the most obvious place you would expect it to be located. Seems like they could do a better job of promoting it on their Home page since it's new, and if you weren't looking for it, you might never find it the way it is currently accessed.

Just offer what your willing to pay, and see what happens
