eBay Selling Price Guides -- Interesting Article in WSJ
Posted By: Chris
Okay, not entirely and directly related to vintage baseball cards, but believe potentially can play a role in buying vintage Baseball cards on eBay. The link to the article is at the bottom. But essentially, eBay has quietly begun selling pricing sheets on several categories and items, providing such data as ASPs by models and month over month changes. Right now, it doesn't appear collectibles and specifically cards or being offered, but probably will, which means there will be yet another source for pricing on cards. |

eBay Selling Price Guides -- Interesting Article in WSJ
Posted By: Hankron
I will note that I have an aversion to price guides and, as a seller, know how off they are. If I sell two identical things, call them C, the first C will sell for $5 and the second C for $40 ... A month later a collector emails me and says, "I have a C. Do you know what it's worth?," and I will say "You've got me." ... If I were to say, it's worth $22.50 (average), that would be as arbitrary is if I said it's worth $5. |

The average sales price of a particular card sold on eBay is not information that I would deem as being relevant. There are far too many factors that influence data that eBay could (will) use that will render this statistic useless. If the data is not thoroughly analyzed before the average price is computed we may actually get a price from them on the numerous T206 Wagners that sell every week. Garbage in garbage out. |

It would be great to have a master list of all prices realized from all of the auctions out there. |
