eBay sales declining

I can share some price info. I began to breakup some of my T206 "commons" and will be holding onto the SLEAUGER subset and HOF subset til I make some decisions on how/when to sell. Most of the info I will be sharing will be dealing with cards that ended this week and price realizations.

PSA 5's were pretty weak. Of the 40 or so that sold, prices ran on average in the $85 dollar range with typical spreads of $75-$109. A couple helped my average such as a Criger that got up into the 160ish range. I had a spreadsheet from 2 years ago with estimated value of $98-100 which was being hit frequently in 2007 and even the first half of 2008 but fully expected some to do well and some to sell in the $88-$92 range. Saw a few more than I would have liked in the mid to high 70's but ended up doing fair due to the sale of others.

PSA 4's were STRONG!!!!!!!! Here is the weird part, the 4's all around were much stronger than I anticipated. I had an avg. price for these on my spreadsheet from 2007 estimated at $50 per and experienced prices of 55,67,71,60,78,63,55,51,51,53,61,64 and 46..go figure.

Obviously some numbers reflect maybe slightly "tougher" cards or better "eye appeal" cards but all are at the end of the day commons.

Was quite pleased with the overall result on the 4's, disappointed somewhat on the 4's.

Just my experience on some recent sales
