BUYING Frank Gotch T229 Kopec Looking to BUY n332 1889 SF Hess cards and high grade cards from 19th century especially. "Once you have wrestled everything else in life is easy" Dan Gable
Both of the above are true, but IMO, its more of what Bobby said. The sellers running BIN museums seek the dumb money. Nothing WRONG about it, thats just what they choose to do.
Shocking as it may seem, there are collectors where price is really not that important for whatever reason. I doubt his target market is the type that will spend valuable time looking for cheaper items. There are a ton of collectors whose opportunity cost for looking for better prices would exceed any dollar savings they would be able to realize elsewhere
I hear ya Mike....but alot of his cards don't even seem to be high end for the grade. Most seem to be low end for the grade. He just happens to find collectors who don't mind overpaying and getting an inferior product to boot?? Just an observation....
This thread marks the 50th thread about 707 auction prices!!! Bobby, you can choose a set of PSA steak knives or a special PSA set of coasters!

Think of it this way Bobby, he gets 190.00 for his, you get 80.00 for yours together they meet the VCP average of 135.00. See, all is really well in the universe.
They seem to be coming down on there prices with some of there cards, heck I made a offer on one of there cards because it almost seemed reasonable but they declined it.
I found out part of the reason why their prices are so high earlier this year. I purchased a $30 card from them.... and it was sent insured with signature confirmation! A $30 card!

If you want a certain card NOW and nobody else has it, he most likely does. His customer service is awesome. He ships the same day and he does negotiate if you send a check.
Levi offers the best customer service on the planet and it comes at a cost, if you want that seek him out as he's the Nordstrom of the business. If you would rather shop price over service, that's what K-Mart is for.
And enough money for his annual membership in the KISS army. Along with enough cash for concert tix to Poisen,Ratt,Cheap Trick,Skid Roe,Warrant,Great White,Winger, Slayer and Megadeath.
If someone wants to pay $5 for a loaf of bread, more power to them, and kudos to the shop owner for getting that much for his loaf of bread. Count me in the majority of the shoppers though, that realizes that a loaf of bread should cost around $1.50.
<< <i> kudos to the shop owner for getting that much for his loaf of bread. >>
I find it hard to believe that ANYBODY on this board would prefer get less for their cards when selling them.
Dude, is getting top dollar and get ran down for it. LOL

I have been known to sell cards for less and so have others on this board. We could have easily sold them elsewhere for more money, but we sell them on here to help others out. Shoot, I recently sent several items out for FREE just because members wanted them. Can't get much cheaper than that!
There are WAY dumber people roaming this planet. Walk around WalMart for an hour and you won't be so surprised about someone spending too much with 707.
"New England Brown Bread" runs you about $3.69 even at a discount supermarket. Worth every damn penny.

(1) Those that buy what they want (2) Those that want something for less
There is no other. Generally, those in #2 are the ones that complain about shipping charges, expect a raw card to grade PSA 10 on every purchase, ask for refunds if it doesnt, etc etc.
There are two types of ebay sellers
(1) Those that wait and sell it for what they want (2) Those that sell it to the people in #2 above
There is no other. Generally, those in #2 are the ones that complain about ebay buyers, how the card market is crashing, etc etc
Just an observation....I have been in both categories at different times.
I have it with honey and butter often. NEBB is grainy enough that there are many tasty nooks for the honey to find its way into.
Haven't tried it with honey butter, but it would doubtless be a killer combo. Once you put that in your shopping cart you're definitely over the $5.00 threshold though.

I pay $5.49 a loaf out here for Dave's Killer Bread. I think it's a company in Oregon. No preservatives in that bread whatsoever. And worth every penny!

Selling cards isnt how you make a living though. Since 707 is a business, and the business is surviving, that model is a method that works for them. If it didnt, then we would be talking about 707 in the past tense.
With this thread and the one about PSA wait times on page 1, all we need is a thread about shipping charges on ebay and/or leaving positive feedback to complete the message board trifecta!
