10c Listing Day Fallout. Rank the most overpriced dealers.

mintyfresh

Here are my top 3:

1. mwcards
2. wvshoebox
3. keeplerenterprises

Even at 10c a listing, I hope these guys can deduct the listing fees from their taxes. What a joke.

The three you listed for sure. It seems that their prices on ebay are higher than those on their websites and catalogs. What a waste of time wading through all their above-retail crap.

Chris also has hundreds of his cards listed in the wrong categories.

#1 in my list!

Q - If you list 10 times more crap than usual @ .10 each listing, and sell only a small portion of it, is it really worth it?

Wayne Varner and Mike Wheat have had those same cards on for almost one whole year now. The other guy snipes most of his PSA 10's for about 1/4 guide and then tries to resell them after the feedback link goes away (30-45 days)

i agree with #1 and #2(same over priced stuff month after month). if either had something i wanted to buy i would be afraid that it was over-priced and i could get a "fair" deal elsewhere. it is sad that they feel the need to make so much profit,and really make themselves look stupid in the process.

I agree with the first two, don't know much about the third. MW also tends to overgrade his raw cards in my opinion. I think Bill Henderson overgrades as well and his prices are pretty high.

thanks for the link, koby..

These eBay specials do bring out "the dream world sellers". I noticed a lot of people, even from these boards, listed some of their prized cards at triple or even five times what they recently paid for them hoping that "it only takes one..."

It will be interesting to see how many of these cards sell and see if the payoff was worth the time and effort to list their entire inventory versus saving a little on the discounted listing fee.

Literally pages and pages of junk in my 1955 topps search, hard to weed out the BUll $hit.

In their defense, they are saving a lot of money. Every $500 card they list they save $4.70 in listing fees.

rw2win

I think they get a hard-on seeing their cards on their monitor.

True, but if the cards don't sell - which most of this crapola won't - what does the listing fee really matter? It just means you wasted less on the listing fee than you ordinarily would, right?

My vote is for kepplerenterprises.com.

Unfortunately for him, he turned 10 cent listing day into 20 cent listing day (at least for his 1973 PSAs), as there are 2 listings for every card. Appears his listing software had some issues. Typically, this could cause a lot of grief, but in this case, it doens't matter much since none of these cards will receive a bid anyway.

carew4me

kepplerenterprises.com is pretty reasonable when it comes to FB.

Someone must be thinking right by listing all the high-priced cards. Shoebox, for example, has sold 118 items in the last month with all positive feedbacks. I don't mind the listings. I wonder where they get the supply of good cards!!!! Must be nice!!

WinPitcher

That was a good one DaveMri

I agree with Mike Wheats prices being way high even if they weren't overgraded in the description. But someone has to be paying it right?

wvshoeboxcards, are pretty much full price retail, but I don't mind paying full SMR for my 38 Goudeys when they are in the 6-7 range. wayne and them are very nice and informative, but there is a certain card he has for 250, that I will pay 225 including shipping. while it is perfectly fine to decline but to see the same card listed for the next 4 months and counting drives me batty. I've bought several from them and am 100% satisfied. Plus he sends me cool magazines in the mail from time to time to browse through...

707sportscards are another full retail establishment i've gotten several from in the past. However his prices are insanely high for the 38 Joe-Ds he has. (I think he had a PSA 3 for around 1100 at the last show and I picked up a solid PSA 3 on ebay for under 700. That is a huuuge difference.) But again, someone has to be buying them, or i think sometimes he just likes having a killer display and doesn't need the money. Again, i'm kinda glad he does this so I can see so many great cards. but the prices are frustrating when there are only 48 cards in your set and your staring at 3 you need but they are well over SMR so you resort to thinking about them for months...

kepplerenterprises has the first PSA 8 38 goudey I have seen on ebay right now... however with a opening bid of 5 benjis for a common, i'm not touching it, although it isn't THAT much over SMR...

I see, too, that 707 is very high in their pricing. I stopped and talked to 707 at a recent show and marveled at his collection of '33 Sport Kings, and I asked him why so high priced. He informed me that the demand for the cards far exceeded the supply and that he pays SMR prices for the Sport Kings to stock his inventory. I found too that — at least on the card I wanted — he was fair in his dealing and very considerate. I struck up a deal with him far below his asking price. Found them to be knowledgeable, polite and good people to deal with! We all know that to be in business you have to turn a profit, so we can't fault those who are doing it.
