State of the Hobby
I've noticed recently that Levi at 707 Sportscards has been taking best offers in his ebay auctions. He has in fact, in two instances that come immediately to mind, accepted best offers on very popular pre-WWII cards.
We all know and love Levi, as he is one of the absolute best dealers in the history of the hobby. I've bought from him on ebay, and have always received superior service. He is not however, known for having what would be termed the lowest prices around, nor is he really known for haggling on prices. His price has always been his price, and if you didn't like it, then you could always go somewhere else. What does this mean for the hobby in general, that Levi is now showing a willingness to haggle on prices. Is this a sign that the hobby (pre-war in particular) is now showing scars from the ongoing economic situation in the United States? Or is it just a sign that Levi is sitting on so much inventory, that he is wanting to unload some of it? I just wanted to hear some thoughts on this. Steve |
