eBay Magie

Final sale on the eBay Magie PSA 2.5 just closed last night around $9k.

Was it someone on the board that picked it up?

I was watching that. One came out here locally recently that changed hands for $10K. Which begs the question...what would a low end 1 or A go for?

Yeah, I had a bid in at 5k which I knew was extremely low ball for the current mrket...

But I was a little nervous about the seller. Haven't ever bought from them before, and they stated it was a consignment which always makes me nervous with a possible 3rd party scamming behind the scenes. So that was the maximum risk I was willing to take on it.

A little surprised that the seller basically got auction value for it through eBay. Doesn't say great things for the future of the auction houses, with a 10% commission and a 18-19% BP, if quality sellers can get auction prices on eBay, then the world changes quickly

I know it looks brighter in the scan, but there is a PSA 2.5 is the current REA auction that is already at $11K, pre-vig, which is $13+K with juice.

Given that this sold for "only" $9K -- it seems like a relative bargain as compared to the REA example.
