Why I hate selling raw cards...

Feedback like this:

not a shabby card almost in condition described yep

It is difficult. You have to ride a thin line between screwing yourself by grading too harshly and turning off potential customers by the title of the listing itself, or grading right on spot and getting a pissed off customer that expects above and beyond.

Not to mention his selling tactics. Can you circumvent eBays fess like this?

PITA buyers almost always turn out to be lousy sellers. Even more amazing is how frequently they commit the same acts they complain about.

Yup.

Stamps, Coins, Currency, Comics, Cards;
all now too risky to sell raw.

Stamps are the worst. The buyers are either
total psychos or complete rip-off scamsters.

Publius

that guy is a total tool.

He has that backstabbing postive feedback thingy down pat.

I dont know how you guys who sell alot put up with crap like that, that would get to me eventually

The way I grade when listing cards raw, is to grade them as if I didn't own them - objectively. It's human nature if it's your card and you want to sell it, all of a sudden that "little wrinkle" could tend to be ignored in the description. Well objectively, it can't be ignored. I describe the cards that way and have never received a neg or a neutral.

<< <i>great card thanks for random junk you mailed to me looks nice in my trashcan >>



And, this was a positive!

But what if you're doing sets (buying/selling) and have no choice but to do raw?

Uhh, did I say something wrong...?

Not sure I would want to receive his feedback, but his comments sure were amusing to read. Kind of the poster child for being goofy.

Your guy is probably just a jerk. Some people have such little control over their lives outside of Ebay. There's an entirely different group out there that have way too inflated expectations for their collection. You want to just shake them and say "99.99% of this junk will never have any value". Collectibles happen by accident. I've heard people gripe about the condition of BCDP Gold Cards. They're decoy cards for goodness sake!

It just seems like way too much of a gamble using internet auctions for me as far as these cards are concerned . . .

I want to be able to see the item in person .
face to face -

jmmiller777

Yep, another jerk blocked. The bay used to bea cool place. I am sick of %$@#%$ like this. Unfortunately, more and more of his kind are on board.

Got it, some people just expect too much. Then in this case you have that plus T.M.I. syndrome.
