Re: Auction House buyer turned Ebay seller in a month?

i usually try to go by what things go for and average them out. Take the high price and the lowest and find a balance.
I would never go by what a book or something says. I collect nascar diecast and see books tell me a car is worth 50$ yet eBay sold tells me its in the 20$ range. Which is the value?

Got it!

So the seller is looking out for the collecting community by making sure everyone has a chance to get the item in case they missed it.

Maybe we should call them Community Ambassadors instead of flippers...

My points are to the person who said a item selling at auction determines what the value is of that item.

Mad87, I have no idea what sanchez items are worth. I know people made threads years ago about people paying so much for his items and thought they were crazy. So obviously the first person over paid because he didn't turn out to be good. But if he had turned out to b a Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, then 10k would have been a great deal.

I wonder if any of the people listing 99 cent auctions just after buying from a large AH have questioned the legitimacy of what they bought (more like a game-issued item rather than the game-worn the COA states) and just decided to punt on it rather than deal with the AH. Sometimes lot descriptions and authentication can be a bit dubious, especially with jerseys, so I'm assuming it's possible. EBay is fast cash, and if they can catch some bids from novice buyers who just look at COA, then they could be out of it in a week. Maybe not the smartest way to do it, but fairly painless.

if someone has the time and isn't strapped for cash, it is in their best interest to list high and see if a desperate buyer takes the bait.
