Overpriced cards

[1952boyntoncollector]

overpriced cards good for the auction .99 market if you are a seller cause buyers will pay more at auction knowing dealers charging way too much ...

Yep, I sure do. Same old sellers - over and over. And another trend I'm tiring of, is the scrunching of reprints (and seeing reprints listed is bad enough even in pristine condition), and selling them for .01 cent. ONE CENT. Really?

I do not have my searches set so broadly that a few of the same listings really do not bother me. Not hard to look past a few cards. Never understood the complaints in all honesty.

Plus, there are times when a seller with a wild list price will accept a reasonable offer.

What gets my goat is that every time I buy a card it's way overpriced, but when I sell a card it's way underpriced.

You obviously haven't mastered the art of shill bidding...(me neither and me too, on your statement)

I have seen things on ebay for years and years....made offers and no acceptance. So they sit....

I think it would be great if eBay had an automatic markdown system like Filene's used to have. After 14 days, the price drops. Another 14 days, another drop. Etc. Or perhaps eBay could start increasing the listing fee the longer something has remained unsold. I know there are some logistical issues to these ideas (what's to stop someone from just starting a listing all over again), but I just find it really annoying when sellers use eBay as a perpetual show window for overpriced items they really don't have much interest in selling. I don't see how it is in eBay's interest, either.

That is how I am, I put wild asks, but off e-bay will knock off as much as 25-30%, which brings it well within reason.

I have no problem with the 1 cent reprints.

When I auction my cards starting at $0.99 I lose out on the deal 9 times out of 10. Now I avoid auction-style listings on eBay unless I protect myself by setting a reserve.
