Anyone Deal With yepbg On Ebay??

brianwintersfan

Any thoughts?? Some nice cards but his BIN prices seem a bit high to me.

lostdart58

I remember looking through some of his stuff but his prices were just silly high.

lickablebean

He's a flipper but so is flipper.

Another vote here for silly high.

Another example of picking it up cheap on Ebay and then letting it collect dust at 10 times what you paid for it in a store...

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it that way. I saw a bunch of stuff I would buy but not at those prices.

I'm the boss on this boat, you can call me skipper
The way I turn the money over, you should call me flipper

Doesn't look like they have many completed sells with them prices.

I think once sometime ago, but as you note, generally a price resistance is felt.

Ditto. And I'm somebody who uses BIN a lot. He's just one of those guys, like board whippin' boy Levi, who uses this approach.

Agreed, silly High

Absolutely, he is a flipper of cards. I have sold him quite a few, never an issue and he always pays quickly. But, as for buying from him? If you want the Levi 707 no-discount 150% of SMR smackdown, then go right ahead.

I just had to revisit this thread.....he had a card (VCP average of $8)....I offered him $20. Rejected. $25 (which is a premium) - he counters with $60 (originally price of $65)......OUCH!!!! Does this guy really sell stuff and has anyone on here bought from him in awhile?

fiveniner

outta my league.

I have sold him a few items this past year under his buying id and he relists them under the yepbg id. For example, I sell to him at 35 he relists with buy it now at 250.

I'm always in the market for cards priced at 200% of VCP............................................."NOT"

EBAY used to be fun. Now with almost no auctions and the BINIDIOTS it's boring at times.

Morgoth

Maybe he is making money on his taxes through inventory

captainthreeputt

I did purchase a few cards from him a few weeks ago and he was very professional. One of the cards was a decent deal and the other two were definitely high, but I did not want to wait for an auction to save $20 per card.

The VCP average isn't $8. The last sale of the card was in 2008 and the price listed is what that card sold for. In this case the VCP price is no better than the SMR price. If you want the opportunity to pay $25 for one then wait for the next auctionidiot to list one.

Guy is trying to make a few extra bucks...

good for him / her...

It all depends on the card...

VCP can be a terrible guide to some cards.

Some cards are tough to find and tough to find in good condition. Sets may be filled at a moment and the price skewed. Some cards were not in the VCP database when they were selling at their premiums. To say a seller wants more for a card that has a low VCP average is not enough information.

Mickey71

Mantle, Mays and Aaron have sold so many times that VCP is a very decent guide.

I would just as soon do without than pay his bloated price!! Not like there is a big market for mid-grade 1952 Berk Ross!! He can keep it in his Ebay museum until it turns into dust for all I care......I can buy a nice raw one and pull a '6' myself........and save $50+ in the process!!

sure, if you find one, and factor the time in finding one worthy of grading, and assuming your PSA membership is free, and shipping to PSA, and back, and, and...

I'm with you on subbing because honestly I think it is fun, but there are a lot of people who strictly buy their items already graded on eBay and don't want to deal with the grading game.

That is what is great about having the freedom to choose to sub a card on your own OR charge an inflated price to sell what you already own.

My questions:
Since bobbyw8469 never mentioned the card by name, how did KbKards know which card he was talking about?

Is KbKards yepbg?

KbKards

No brain surgery tools needed. He said it was listed for $65 and averaged $8. Sorted items by price and got to $65 items. Skipped T206 cards because average wouldn’t be $8. Came to Berk Ross and knew prices would be low as auction sales are rare. Two choices came up, both same price and sold date. Boring.

digicat

KbKards other hobby is "ebay stalking."

Griffins

I've bought and sold with him for years- good guy, always very easy to deal with. If his prices are too high (which they often are) I just move on. But if you do deal with him you'll have no problems on either side of the transaction.
Very, very knowledgable as well.

You sure must be to go through all that. Yikes.

bobbyw8469

Thanks for all the input!! Sorry to bore everyone - big kudos to the person who told me how to omit a certain seller from a search. That weeded out alot of listings......

Morgoth

I agree Nam wow Kb bored today?

kards

Does anyone have a contact for yepbg (email, address, etc...) so I don't have to go thru ebay

Griffins

He's a regular poster on Net 54. Post there and he'll find you.

Just go to Ebay, type in 1952 Berk Ross, and then look for the most grossly overpriced cards. That will be 'yepbg'. Then you can reach him via the "contact seller" button..... :-)

I dont think the word "fun" is incorporated into some peoples business models when using ebay...
