Gotta Love Ebay!

I'm into my 8th or 9th Stella today, so take this with a grain of salt.......

Gotta love when an auction for a 2001 Pujols SPX PSA 10 ends at $930 when I have the identical card for sale at $845 via BIN. I can certainly understand dealing with vintage, why there would be some opinion with cards, especially in lower grade, but this is modern PSA 10.

Carry On, I am going to grill some burgers and grab another Stella, Happy 4th of July!

    a lot of people filter out the BIN's because of all the grossly overpriced carp that the majority of sellers have listed. I can't stand wading through all of it myself.

    Happy 4th of July!! I agree with Corvette, even though I still look through the BIN's.

    You would be surprised at how often that happens.(or used to happen)

    It used to happen more than people would think.

    People get caught up in the auction frenzy and won't get beat.

    At one time people would contact the runner up and try to sell the one they had.

    Sometimes for even more then what they had it listed at too.

    Good for you.

    The "free auction listings" special has caused a
    change in the BIN/Auction ratio, in "PSA Cards."


    Total: 200,504

    Auctions: 24,516

    BINs: 176,983



    ...........................................................

    I have listed more auctions - not in collectibles - and have
    NO bids, but traffic/buyers are being driven to my BINs by
    the auction listings.

    The "free listings" special ends on July 12.

    Or just the competitive nature of auctions.

    I imagine most search all of ebay as that is how ebay is set up now for the most part....and there really isn't that many PSA 10s or say 1986 Topps or PSA 9's of 1974 Topps. Can't imagine how many cards I would have missed if following that pattern.

    Especially we were are talking a nice card like the 2001 SPX Pujols.


    When I am only checking auctions...I am just looking for a great deal.

    Not really getting any bids on my free listings either. I wonder...more and likely bet....they get low level search priority.

    That does seem to be the best game right now as far as sport cards on eBay. You can list a ton of $2-4 book cards for $0.99 and might do alright. You won't pay any electric bill that way most likely, but likely flip them for a cool card.
