I'm getting back into collecting and buying and selling cards as an adult, and i have a few from when I was a kid that I'd like to sell on eBay. Any tips from you experienced eBay card sellers on how to price the cards? Do you just list it at the Beckett price? Any help and guidance that you could provide would be great!

MrHockey is correct, but one caveat I would add relates to current listings and price point. For example, if I see a few of the same card listed at $100, $200, $225 and $250, I would list my item at $175-$195 regardless of recent sales. If someone takes out the cheap $100 BIN, you are the lowest price at a substantially higher level. Goal is to maximize your sales price while trying to actually sell your items at a decent rate. Good luck!

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
Give a few examples of the cards you are trying to sell. Different strategies work for different cards.
what he said. era, raw vs graded, etc. all are inputs with various avenues to estimate prices
Do some research before you jump in. It takes time to figure out based on what you have and what you're looking for. Have fun with it. If you would prefer to liquidate and in major quick need then that's a different story.
Thanks for responding! Is there a tool or a web site out there that shows you what a card is selling for recently on eBay?
Besides ebay, not without paying for a reliable one for sales from most major outlets. VCP.
Just use ebay completed listings to go by.
Heck use the easy method: start at .99cents. The card(s) will dictate what hey are worth.
If your one of those guys hate to lose out and selling it too cheap, then put a minimum start price.
Its not rocket science.
Just to be clear, the '79 racks I requested are from the Ozzie box.
