Default I hate ebay

I am anxious for grandslambids.com to kick off. I don't sell too much, but I am a pretty active buyer, and I plan to take my business over there. I hope it is a huge success.

In spite of all the seller BIN museums, I still enjoy trying to find that card "I can't live without" on ebay at a reasonable price.

Still selling some on ebay, and doing a little more consigning to auction houses.

EBay has pushed me to the auction houses. I used to auction anything below $3K on EBay. Now, I send anything that I believe has a value of $400 or more to the auction houses. Basically, I am letting anything below the $400 level (and some items above that level) stack up.

I've often thought that Yahoo got out at the wrong time. Even though Yahoo started off poorly, they had the platform and name recognition to be able to move the card market to their site. They just needed to do a bit of "member clean-up" and that wouldn't have taken long.

Default No problems with the Bay

Hello Everyone,

I buy and sell on eBay all the time and I wouldn't have a collection with out them. Ebay has change--but it is what it is. It works better for post war cards, but if you adapt to the changes you still can find plenty of opportunities, even with prewar. I'm a "top-rated seller" on eBay. I guess that means I average about $1000 per month in sales. I buy cards on eBay and then flip them on eBay for a profit. It works for me.

I'm not a big enough fish (yet) to buy a lot from the auction houses, although I have made a few purchases from auction houses that I thought were real good deals.

I'm looking forward to Leon's site. I hope that he is very successful with it, but I still believe that eBay will still be an important venue for my business. I think you will always need to be open to all possible venues for buying and selling cards.

Best wishes,

Joe

Ebay is a done deal as far as selling goes for me. But, it is still a buyer's buffet... a lot of filler with a few hinden treats!

Thanks for the kind words. The Grand Slam Bids site really should be open within about 2 weeks (no promises) for a final beta test. Our goal is not to close it down but go straight from beta to production and not miss a step. Both Matt and I are as anxious as anyone. The few large fixes are very important for the very large sellers. These few large items are being worked on then it will be opened. We believe it will be a great additional site to self-service sell your sports items on, in addition to ebay. There won't be tons of reprints except in the reprint section...Buyers AND sellers can leave feedback....and as of now, our thinking is that ALL bidders will be seen after the auction is over. We almost can't wait!!!
