Patience Occasionally pays Off as well as 50% Off SMR!!!

Morning,

Had two cards (1960 Fleer Football #20 & #128 MINT 9) in my store that I got one of those 16 month reminders from E-bay a couple of months ago, that I might want to Re-Think it, 16 months with no action. They were a part of a large lot purchased a long long time ago, and I had nothing into these anymore after having sold the rest of the deal off.

I had listed them to begin with at well below VCP/SMR but couldn't get any of the Registry owners to bite (And have had them at %50 off, off and on for a year). This morning I decided I would list them this Sunday at auction, starting at .99 cents, whatever I get, its better than nothing!!!

Just now somebody goes in and buys them, Both !!!! 18 months after listing!!!!!!!!!

YeeHah

Oh no!! Don't say that!

I thought I was the only one on the planet that didnt like "buy it now". I will use this option to buy a card, but if an auction is available with same card, grade, look etc. Its always auction first. Same goes for free shipping. I dont like it. Shipping is never free. Or at least when I ship something, the post office has always asked for money. But it is cool you was able to sell them that way, especially both at same time in that manner!

I've notice something similar. Seems like if I have something that doesn't sell on a "buy it now", it usually does when I convert to an auction.

I don't think they actually made it to auction. The BIN's were hit just before they were listed.

Hi Bernie!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that is correct, BINS hit while going to Auction was still in my head...Very pleased!!

Since so many ignore BIN, you may have gotten just as much or more if you would have auctioned it. I've experienced that. Of course, I've experienced the opposite too. I can't stand it when something just sits there and sits there with no action. After about a month, I move it to an auction. I rarely use BIN.

Congrats, though.

I'm curious. How did VCP compare to SMR?

Morning,

18 months ago when I put them up in my Store, VCP was much higher, but I doubt there have been any Sales of those specific two cards, or if there have been, probably for much less, just like everything else.
