you?

I'm guessing I priced it too low...

I found this in a junk box with a $48 price tag on it, I put it on the bay for 99 cent bid, $30 bin and it sold within 5 minutes at almost 11 pm (Guy is in New York)... So 2:47 am his time...

    Hard too gauge the interest in 90s-era inserts sometimes. Some of them can be quite elusive for the very reason you gave: it sat in a random box. I'm guessing it was a player collector that ha been searching for that card for quite some time, possibly since shortly after it was released. I know there are a few Butler cards that have been on my wantlist for almost 15 years. They shouldn't be hard to find, but they are. I know they're out there, sitting in somebody's junk wax box. Some day...

    I used to second guess myself if a card sells quickly with a BIN thinking that maybe I listed it too low. I now look at it that if it was listed at a higher price it probably would not of sold. Think of it as $30.00 more you have than you did before.

    From what I remember it was a very tough insert...and it was Shaq's first year in the Purple and Yellow uni!

    Definitely... It is a card I would probably have put in my dollar box or 80% off at a show, so I was pretty stoked when it sold (Guy has like 5300 feedback as a buyer as well).

    Like I said I was super surprised because I was just d!cking around at 11 pm and this was almost 3 am this guys time in NY when the card pretty much sold in 2 minutes 42 seconds, got an email saying it was sold.

    Looks like the one on eBay right now is at $41 and change with a little more than a day left. You probably left some money on the table but I think the quick sale makes up for it.
