That's the beauty of capitalism - you won't last long if your value proposition is garbage. The only possible answer has to be that Deans is selling enough to make enough money to stay in business. Maybe a lot of the sales are going to people who aren't familiar with the market, either because they're new or because they don't really spend enough time to really evaluate whether the pricing is within a few standard deviations of market? I suppose it's also possible that some buyers just prefer to work with a dealer that they know and trust, rather than faff about with randos online. And maybe it's a little bit of all of the above, including the situations you listed.

I agree for the most part they are extremely overpriced. They also offer great front/back scans and some reasonably priced cards. The other big to me bonus is the only bad thing they get accused of is high prices. Last edited by bnorth; 02-12-2024 at 08:25 PM. |

Seriously? You guys don't like their pricing so you want to insinuate they are a front operation for some kind of illicit enterprise? The irony |

I got mycard today I brought form them. I am thrilled wit it. second most I have ever paid for a card in my life $880 after the website discount.
Obvious surface wear and corners but no stains/creases/paper loss/ink etc. Centering is also good and the color looks great in person.

I flipped a PSA 8, '57Brooks Robinson from Deans one time. I think I made close to a grand. The prices had gone up and they didn't catch that one...Otherwise, have bought 1-2 things from them, but have gone through their site and not ebay...

If a Dean's Cards discount was the bellwether, now I'm convinced that the vintage apocalypse is upon us.
Yepbg discounted everything in his eBay store by 25% a little while back, and this afternoon I received eBay notifications that he had dropped items I was watching by another 10%. He's still 60 to 150% above recent auction sales on the stuff I'm watching, but the fact that he's dropped his prices is noteworthy. Last edited by gunboat82; 02-16-2024 at 03:24 PM. Reason: Typo |

I actually just bought something from yepbg yesterday and found the price to be really reasonable. He also sent be an offer which I accepted, which I would never expect Deans Cards to do.

Was it the Venezuelan Mantle? That's the only one I watched where the 33% discount brought it down to a reasonable price.
