Today's lesson: How not to list on Ebay. Please take a moment and view the auction above for 8 1972 Topps Baseball Commons.
Can you tell what is wrong with this auction, and why maybe - just maybe - no one is bidding on this lot?
Here's what I found:
1. No attempt at explaining condition.
2. Picture impossible to determine condition by.
3. $6.95 shipping for me on the East Coast (shipping + bid=$1/card -> about 7-10x the going rate for commons in EX-EX+ condition).
4. Seller does NOT combine shipping for multiple lots.
5. Seller seems more worried about CYA than convincing me why I would want to buy from him.
