Auction advice? First timer...

[conor912]

I have to agree with Steve here. In my experience, every time i have put anything on the BST auction, it ends up selling for peanuts to someone whose handle i have never even seen before. I think there’s a subset of members who just lurk on the bst hunting for bargains and otherwise hide in the shadows. Nothing wrong with that, per se, but in my experience i have always done better on ebay, even with the fees.

Typically, I try to sell the "bigger" (for me $250+) cards on BST first and occasionally I will post a link to my eBay page in the "Ebay, Auction and other Venues Announcement- B/S/T" for everything else.

I wasn’t saying eBay is better than BST. I’d rather sell an item here to a member and not have to pay anyone any fees. Point l was trying to make is that on the BST board I have found that the live auction section is a lot of work. I’d rather just settle on a fair price and list it for sale.
