Any reason the T206 Broadleaf 460 is not graded? Strikes me as odd.

My only criticism is that some cards have opening bids that are 80% or more of current market value. That's more like an eBay buy it now to me than an auction.

Although I agree with you that 80 percent of market value is too high for any auction lot; at least; when you see something like that; you realize there are no "hidden reserves" to push bidding up. I'd rather see a slightly higher min bid (lets say 50 percent) than a low bid with other issues.

Regards
Rich

Why should a consignor not be able to set a reserve that is fully disclosed?

Leon · #7 09-25-2009, 07:51 AM

Please show legitimate instances of an 80% value , as an opening bid, and we will take another look and speak with our consignors. I don't think there will be many like that. As a matter of fact that is not our intention at all. However, if a consignor says they want that kind of reserve we will usually do as they ask. So, please show all of the cards starting at 80% value and we will see if we can get the opening bids lower. I can't promise it will happen but I can promise I will try. regards

ps...the BL460 came in too late to get graded

And while you're fulfilling Leon's request, I'd like to see BIN's on eBay that have the items priced at 80 percent of market value. 150 to 200 pecent? Sure. But 80 percent?
