30-Day Summary
Total bids: 54
Items bid on: 23
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 100% Help
Bid retractions: 0
Bid retractions (6 months): 0

Yes if you consider consignors bidding on their own items to be loyalty

They do seem to be very loyal bidders.

I have a hard time recalling my last eBay bid for an important card that wasn't PWCC. I'm sure if someone pulled my history with them they'd say it's suspicious too.

Just pulled down the one card I wanted more than anything else out there. 10 day auction and I'm not going to go to bed wondering if some guy in Californoa who works nights is going to beat me to it at 3:45 am. Yes. Thank you PWCC.

My history would show similar results. A couple of bids with Sean and maybe Probstein, but no one else else comes close to putting the quality and quantity of high end cards up for auction as pwcc. I bet my profile shows 80-90% with him. And I don't shill my own consignments.

Cause no one else gets the money they do. It's a catch-22.

So I had my eye on a few cards to understand the market, but not to buy. The last 30 seconds of this auction were insane:

Is this "normal" for high grade cards or was this a one-off where two guys really wanted it?

[Snapolit1]

Pretty normal pattern. Two or three folks battling it out at the end. Many of these high end cards double in bid in last minute. Most people figure why bother a constant battle for days, just slug it out in the 15th round. Rope a dope before that.

And the price is the price! Not 19.5% more.

Frankly, it's refreshing.

Price is the price for buyers...not for the seller who consigned.....selling price is going to be lower than whatever someone pays for it one ebay

however price is the price usually for sellers at other auctions houses with the auction house taking the extra 19.5 for whatever percent..

Frankly if you've been on this board long enough and you don't heed the warnings in regards to certain sellers than you deserve everything you get.

I am not willing to bid on my own items therefore I would not do as well in PWCC.

Its really baffling to me that people are impressed with their prices.


Watch a movie called "Exit Through The Gift Shop". A fantastic doc that eventually shows how perception and public ignorance are a bad mixture when purchasing vanity items.
