I am not at the large-scale volume as G. Morris and others - and buy from them when I can. Still after over 25 years on eBay I still hold auctions - up to a few years ago it was at least every week Mon to Mon 7-day auctions. Have turned to more shows these days and still use eBay a little bit now. I used the B/S/T eBay page often when I ran decent stuff – it’s just getting harder to find cards and other items in volume to take a chance on auctions anymore. Tried my own website and auctions and that was way to much overhead. I keep trying to find stuff and hope to expand as I get closer to retirement age. Interesting posts and I do see less and less auctions with bids on eBay. Traditional auctions are getting harder to find even on eBay. There are too many auctions that do not even sell and it is hard to search with Buy it Now as auctions or high prices as auctions with no bids, floods the searching! eBay sometimes is the only platform for the little guy, I have tried the PSA vault and has worked ok and my end prices do a little better, but then fees eat into profit. Also have tried working with some auctions houses in the past and that can sometimes be difficult.
to be fair to sellers like me it's maybe 5 - 10%
and agree Scott Gaynor runs true auctions frequently and wish I could get more stuff for him to auction.
Thanks!
Jimmy
