Default eBay Selling Price Guides -- Interesting Article in WSJ

Posted By: Julie

because of sheer volume of stuff sold.

But remember all the things an ebay buyer takes into account:

1) if scan is blurry, don't touch it.2) knck off at least 1 grade because it's on ebay--no matter HOW clear the scan! 3) If seller has few feedback, don't touch it. 3) if seller has too large number of negative feedback, don't touch it. 4) "can I get it elsewhere for the same price?" (just finished searching ebay for the hockey cards of three players--prior to ordering them from BMW. In some cases, I can get it CHEAPER from BMW (also searched "completed items.") 5)Notice how people buying on ebay gravitate toward the graded cards--can you really trust ebay with anything not in a holder (and do you really tust ANY grading service, if non-graded's what you collect (hence my 62 feedbacks only...)

And after taking al these things into account, who's left to do the ebay buying on most cards?
