Default Strange Ebay Business Model

Posted By: barrysloate

I just went onto the pre-1930's section of ebay and reorganized the list with "highest first." The 50 cards on the first page ranged in price from mid-four figures to a top price of 65K.

Of those 50 cards, 49 of them did not have a bid and the only one that did clearly was not even close to the reserve. I didn't even bother to check page two.

That is an awfully dreary way to conduct business. Whatever happened to "lot goes to the highest bidder?" It's clear that most of these will not sell. It's even possible none will.
