Default Showpiecesports on ebay

Can’t really find much doing a search at this site but does anyone have any experience or feedback with the seller showpiecesports on eBay?

They have a number of quite rare or decent quality autograph items but the prices seem to be much higher than normal. Is the quality of the company worth paying a premium for?

They buy items off of eBay and flip them for higher multiples of what they bought things for. If you want to pay high prices, they have them.

They also get items from other auction sites as well.

Thanks guys. Probably will do more searching for particular items to avoid their huge markups, sometimes between 2 and 5 times the normal price.

I bought a nice baseball from them a few weeks ago. Price was reasonable. They have other items I like that I feel like the price is high on.

I had a couple things I liked of theirs saved, and after many months of the items sitting there without the price moving at all, I finally deleted them.

I checked a few items in Watchcount and some of them have been listed for years.

I've lost out on a few items in some other auction companies only to find it on eBay a week or so later from them at 2-3 times the cost of what the auction went for. If I wanted to pay 3 times as much for the item in the auction I would've kept bidding but let's not get ridiculous. I realise a guy wants to make some money but be realistic.

There are few sellers like this on eBay. Buy autographed items on eBay or from an auction house and sell for 2-3x what they paid. Unfortunately there are a lot of uneducated buyers out there and it only takes 1 or 2 sales at the highly inflated price to set a new comp price. It’s a bad cycle.

For what it's worth, I bought something from them once. I saw something they had that I liked, it was totally unique, I was OK with the price, I called them up, they were friendly, and I was quickly able to negotiate a lower price. The item arrived quickly and was solidly packed.

I tried to check them out on eBay, but showpiecesports doesn't come up as a legit ID on eBay. Is it spelled a different way?
