PWCC Auctions & Re-Lists
Brent lists so many cards multiple times it seems odd. I understand when a card does poorly, perhaps the consignor requests the transaction be cancelled or whatever. But he's got a '56 Hodges that I bid 20-25% over the market on about a month ago and lost by a whole bunch. I figured "well, that card may have moved beyond me." It's back again? You'd think for $400 with shipping that would be a heck of a hammer for a '56 Hodges, no?
I guess the reason for posting this is that it makes bidding seem...pointless. Wouldn't a reserve or BIN be the way to go if the bidding isn't honored? Heck, I don't even mind the shilling! I'll only pay what I'll pay, regardless, but it's disappointing to go through the auction process repeatedly on the same damned card. Is this normal for you guys, or are these situations unique to me? Edit: I should note that I used to repeatedly bid on the re-lists. I have become reluctant to do so now until I gain an understanding of how these "sales" seem...well...fake.

i find it a little disturbing that you understand if a card sells poorly a consignor can ask to have transaction cancelled?
This in of itself is quite disturbing to me. Quote:

Oh...don't misunderstand me...I don't like or agree with it. I'm just trying to see it from all sides. Frankly, it pisses me off, but that doesn't mean I can't AT LEAST explain the behavior. The re-listing after it sets a record is harder to explain for me.

sorry, I didn't even see a question as I was so traumatized by your first statement. Might the answer be GREED?

Yeah, I agree with Pete's disturbance. This is not a thing. There are many valid criticisms of PWCC, but they do not cancel sales just because the consignor asks. If they did, their NEGs would be through the roof.

Is a re-list a possible Vault Card ?

My understanding is that a non paying bidder is the most frequent cause of these relistings. I'm not sure if PWCC is the target of spam bidders but it's frustrating for consigners, bidders and AH across the board.

+1.... On a lighter note, I wish Leon could go back thru the archives in the last 10 years and see if there has been one, mind you ONLY one, single week without a thread pertaining PWCC or Rick Probstein.

I sold a 1965 Topps Frank Robinson with PWCC back in 2016. The purchaser never paid for it, so we re-listed it two months later. I'm not saying that happened here, but it does happen sometimes.

Perhaps that is what happened. It happens a fair amount on the cards that I bid on, Lol. This is the 3rd card I have been outbid on that has reappeared within a 2-month window. I have the pleasure of losing on the same card multiple times!

Other thing that probably happens not infrequently is that a friend of the consignor accidentally wins the item and goes "oh, shit".
