Quite the markup

See same exact thing every week with photos. Someone buys a type 1 photo from one of the AHs for $1700 on Saturday night and all of a sudden its on eBay for $4500. One guy seems to buy half the nice photos on the market. Cool model if it puts change in the jar, but once I see someone operating that way I assume nothing is fairly priced and pay a lot less attention to them moving forward.

Yep Dean follows under Category one trying to find a sucker to pay the high prices and yet he seems to move a lot of cards

This person has some great cards on ebay (for YEARS) and seems to more want to display them then sell them.

I guess each their own. It is there right to do as they chose and the consumer to do as they chose but I agree I feel sorry for those uneducated in the collection world that over over over pay

I remember when you had to pay money to list on eBay. Was a different world. Now people get 100s (1000s?) of free listings.

I have a Premium store and I get 10,000 free BIN listings and 500 free auction listings per month.

Dean must certainly have a cadre of loyal and rich customers. His overheads can't be cheap He certainly must be off-loading at prices few on this Board would pay. What's his charm?

There are definitely some sellers I wish I could exclude from my "t206" search on eBay. It gets annoying when they re-list hundreds of cards at ridiculous prices, and I now have to sift through all that...however, this sometimes presents an opportunity on a card that is a good deal that gets lost in the mix.
Outside of the occasional great buy-it-nows that pop up (like the Hindu PSA Merkle portrait I snagged the other day for $2oo) I feel like patience and waiting for auction style listings (with reasonable opening bid prices) is the best way to go.

Yes, that is what I do too. Do a search and then filter by auction listings...everyone's BIN prices are outrageous right now.

Oh, yes. One seller in particular.

Does Dean actually ever sell anything?

You can include or exclude one or more sellers using the 'Advanced' link to the right of the blue Search button.

Down at or near the bottom is the Sellers section where you can include or exclude sellers - my searches have had both Deans and yepbg excluded for quite a few years now.

T207 search counts dropped from over 1200 to ~700 without any other filtering.

He won a 1967 Topps Punch Out Jim Wynn PSA 6 on eBay for $200-$300 a year or two ago and immediately relisted it for $760, needless to say it’s still available. Toppsaholic uses the same business model.
