Default Strange Ebay Business Model

Posted By: Eric Brehm

I suppose if the business model wasn't working, people would eventually stop using it. But I find it a bit puzzling too. I will occasionally pay an above-market BIN price, or make a high offer, if I see a card I need and it is unusually strong for the grade. But a lot of what I see is rather weak, that looks like it has been picked over repeatedly on-line, and perhaps at card shows as well. Some of the fixed priced stuff on eBay, at least in the categories I look at, has been recycling through the listings for a long time, in some cases for years. Yet rather than lower the prices, the dealers just keep throwing it out there.
