Wow, I stand corrected. I know both of you guys are pretty good at estimating stuff like that. Is it the promotion? Big$ collectors not using ebay?

Correct. Many folks don't have the time or energy to wade through all of the crap on ebay. They just won't do it. A lot of the folks that pay stout prices would rather go to auctions that only offer good items. At least they aren't wasting their time (which is money) looking at grandpa's attic finds and pseudo-Craig's list specials. I do still use ebay to buy sometimes because there are some good things....but many, many folks don't do it anymore. Just my opinion and others might feel differently. regards

The irony is if people stop looking at ebay, and good items start to sell for below what they are worth...that will draw people back to ebay again. Prices can't stay below market for too long.

I can't afford big auction items. I also buy to collect, not to flip it for a profit.
I like it when ebay items go cheaper then similar at a big auction.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm a small time bidder and I don't even bother with eBay..... but I must say that the prices on all those nice cards seem fair.

T-205 common prices really haven't changed much over the years with the exception of PSA 5s. Those used to fetch $95-$100 most days several years back. Now the market is bearing less. PSA 4s and 3s are about the same.

Nice cards.

Default Just because a guy has an 18 feedback doesn't mean it a shill

In fact, it means that it's me

I was sadly the underbidder on the drum '5' - prob. should have gone a bit higher. But I did win the drum '4.5'.

Best,
Scott

In my opinion, the Bridwell price seemed about right.

The Blackburne was an absolute steal. Congrats to the Levy's on that one.


But the biggest surprise to me was the ending price on the Wilhelm "suffe ed".

Somebody must have really wanted that card.

Scott, congrats on the Drum 4.5. That was a very nice card and you did get it for a good price.

Sweet. Glad you got one. Must not bid alot on ebay then. Just for the record I never said anything about shilling. I backed off early on both.

Congrats, Scott. Well done. That Blackburne was a great buy. Thanks for confirming that (18) was not a shill bidder. I had bid on the Bridwell card but dropped out early. I had other plans, so missed the end of those 2 ebay auctions.

Personally, I never viewed going through the T205 category on Ebay a waste of time, I view it daily to keep up on prices.

I am sure the buyer who saved thousands didn't mind wading either.
