[buymycards]

Hi Brian,
Sending up a test balloon is OK, but leaving that balloon in the air for 3 years is a little ridiculous. There is a seller on ebay that I have been watching for a loooonnnggg time because he has some cards that I am interested in. I buy cards from this set on the board for $85 to $175, and sometimes I go as high as $250 for a common. This seller has his BIN's at $500, $600, and as high as $1000 for commons. He has his auto-decline set at a price that is still way out of my range. I don't want to even attempt to contact him and make an offer because his prices are so far out of line that I will just be wasting my time.

On the other hand, I have made offers on other high priced BIN's and my offers were accepted.

I guess I am just jealous that he has these cards but I don't want them bad enough to pay 3-5 times more than I would pay on the BST.

I agree with Scott on the ebay auctions. At one time I listed all of my items with a starting price of 99 cents and they did well. For the past couple of years I have been getting killed on auctions unless I have cards that are somewhat rare, or HOFers. Common T206's and T205's in lower grades just don't seem to be doing well on the bay right now.
