Ebay outperformed Hunt

[mjkm90]

Maybe ebay isn't such a bad way to go. You save big time on fees. Interesting.

Re: Ebay outperformed Hunt

Looks like he just about broke even. I've gotten some really good deals from Hunt's. I've noticed recently for high dollar items - especially baseball cards that ebay is the way to go when you consider the sellers premium...although sometimes that can be negotiated down to zero for items that are extremely nice/rare.

I got a Dale Murphy bat in Am. Memb. Auction for 286.00. Just sold it on ebay for 500.00.
I bought a Tony Perez for around 300.00 in same auction. Just sold for about 400.00.
Forget the auction houses. If you have a quality item, it will sell very well on ebay.

Re: Ebay outperformed Hunt

I was also watching 2 of Bob McCanns items on ebay that he picked up at hunts. I was surprised he did pretty well on both.

The Upenn football photo:

And the 19th century football board game.

The thing that really bugs me is I saw the identical game at an estate auction about a year ago, and I think I bid up to 400 on it, but gave up on it when I got outbid. I'll know better next time (but there probably won't be a next time)
