Price opinion wanted.

Rogermnj

Just sold a 1983 O-Pee-Chee sticker wade boggs PSA 10 - pop1

This is a pretty tough 10 and it is his rookie year.

Didn't really know where to price it so I put it in my ebay store at 199.99 w/best offer.

Boggs doesnt really sell well and if this was Sandberg from the same issue I am sure it would have went for a pretty penny.

Just curious what you guys think this card is "worth"....

Thanks for any input,

What did you end up getting for it?

Davemri

I would have given you 1K for it if I saw it..

I show none of those being sold on eBay as you claim to have.

Speaking of Boggs, can someone explain this?

Rogermnj

I sold it for $100

nam- If you have a BIN in your store and end the auction, it won't show up in a completed auctions search.

Stuff like that I will generally auction it and start at the least I'd be willling to sell it ($100 for this one) and hope a bidding war breaks out.

Lee,
I was planning on doing that but I hate paying $5.00 to list these $100 cards, then they go unsold and I wind up selling in my store anyway.

Boggs doesnt sell at all for me, but this being a pop1 rookie year card I probably could have gotten more for it...

I sold my bonds 10 rookie sticker for $122 at auction and although 83 opc sticker is a much tougher card I just couldnt see it going for much more.

Oh well, sellers remorse I guess.

My store has been so slow this month.. Just wanted to get some sales.

It wouldn't bother me if it would sell for $30 or $50 more at auction but i am just thinking that maybe it could have went for $250 or something... Blah

I have not been too lucky realizing high prices for my cards.

I posted about a month ago about a Yaz opc sticker 9 that sold for $898 at auction.
I listed mine at $500 or best offer got no offers then I let it go at auction and it sold for $58.00

I sold about 500 cards the last 3 months and not once did i get a final price of $50 more then i expected.

I think my strength is getting $30 for the $12 cards...

Now I have a pop1 kobe 97 ultra gold medallion in my store for $199 or best offer, and i get an offer of $9 today and long e-mail from the guy telling me i should REALLY CONSIDER his offer and that the beckett book says its only worth $3.

Tell him you'll seriously consider his offer and just never get back to him.

Getting $100 for an inexpensive card and a small grading fee is pretty good. I wouldn't be disappointed. You can second guess yourself all day long, but a $90 profit on a $100 sale is pretty good. I do the same thing. I sold some stuff on these boards not too long ago that went for more than I expected, but then started wondering if I could have gotten more on the bay.

Rogermnj

Don, I hear what you are saying but I have to make up for the tons of 8s that i will never get my grading fee back on.

Roger,

Are you ready to sell those Emmitt 10's yet?

Rogermnj

One day I will get to the emmitts. I have about 500 baseball cards left to list.

Should be within 2-3 weeks.

I think having "best offer" on your items just tells people you don't expect to get the price you put on it. If the price is out of range you'll get offers regardless, but at least you don't signal that you expect a counter offer.
