If I want it, I will happily pony up for a nice easy BIN. Keeping track of all the auctions has become exhausting. eBay stores my wantlist and emails me when something pops up. Plus generally things go for cheaper there. While not exclusive to REA, the amount of overpaying that went on in that auction was staggering, IMO, and presumably just to be able to say they won something in REA.

+1 back at ya. I just don't get it in many cases. And then, to act so amazed and grateful that it was sent out overnight.

I won a lot at REA for the opening bid and a lot of 10 graded OJ's for $1560 (with the juice) so I think if you're a careful shopper you can bargain hunt any source.

Where else than eBay can you see a babe Ruth rookie and a T206 Honus for sale at the same time!

I have a bit of an odd ball collecting list. A few of the rarer, higher end cards will probably only end up coming up at an auction house; but so many more of the cards can, will and have been found quicker -and- cheaper on ebay.

In my experience, most of the ebay headaches come about from being a seller. Its a pretty favorable experience for buyers (most of the time).

eBay all day every day.

No outrageous buyer's premium. I shouldn't have to pay for the privilege of paying for something. The auction house is selling for the seller. They are not providing any service for the buyer that isn't covered in the "shipping and handling" charge. The seller should pay the fee.

This is what is wrong with America > Just where do you think the money the auction is being paid is coming from? See bold below. Whether it is a sellers fee or a buyers premium any monies being paid to the auction house come from the consignors.

I live on Ebay. Most auction houses are chock full of really high condition cards that are too expensive for me, and on Ebay I can find various conditions of almost any card I am looking for. You get the advantage of Ebay Bucks, which really add up when you use the specials when you get 8 or 10 pct extra. Incredible selection on Ebay too.
