You know when you put stuff in your store and you try to come up with some pie in the sky price that you might get if the right guy sees the card, and then finally settle on an amount? And even then you say to yourself "No way, that price is too high" but decide to let it fly anyway? Then a few days later when somebody buys it, you say to yourself "I think I let it go too cheap"?

Auction

I realize there's no way I should regret listing this because by all accounts, this card should not sell for over $100. But I think maybe it would've gone higher if I sent it to auction. Am I crazy?

Is Levi your Grandfather?

stown · June 25, 2007 5:58AM

HA-HA!

You sold too cheap and now regret it!

But seriously, with low pops, especially 1/2, you never know where it will end up.

colebear · June 25, 2007 6:01AM

That seems to happen to me quite a bit, where I list something, and it goes fast.

I also agree with Stown, low pops get could go anywhere.

julen23 · June 25, 2007 6:04AM

stown goes too fast for sure,

at least that's what the ladies b sayin'!

Lee,

Did you sell the `95 Aikman Jaguars PSA10?

Danny

CDsNuts · June 25, 2007 6:12AM

Not sure I ever had an Aikman or Emmitt 1995 Jaguars. I have just about every other Cowboy though.

carew4me · June 25, 2007 6:15AM

You got $100+ for a freaking Bo Jackson card and your complaining?

Someone needs a Mr. Miagi to the sack.

Danny, I think that's GregM13 who has those cards. Double check the BST board.

Lee-Nice job on the Bo. Your grandfather is a smart man. I've often had items that I tossed out (my PSA 10 Steve Tasker comes to mind) I put a "pie in the sky" BIN on it of $79.99 and it sold in 8 minutes. I don't even know how they found the auction that fast. Usuallly takes me an hour to find my stuff via the search tool. (Somebody knows something I don't) Gotta love $110 for a Bo though.

CDsNuts · June 25, 2007 6:31AM

If my PSA 10 Sanders and Aikman also get $110 I know I sold them too cheap.

envoy- I think you can have it set up where if something is listed that meets your keywords, ebay will send you an email linking that item. Your guy probably had "Tasker PSA 10" set up so that he got an email any time a Steve Tasker PSA 10 came along.

Lee

(ps- I have another Bo PSA 10)

envoy98 · June 25, 2007 6:46AM

I have that too. (Saved Searches it's called). Problem is, I usually get the emails a day late and at 2 am. For example, I had a saved search set up for 1991 Pro Set John Randle. I just listed a couple psa 8 and 9's on Saturday and got the emails at 2am this morning. That gives someones else a long time to find those auctions before me. (Usually Mike of mikescardcloset fame)

Better bump the old BIN on the Aikman and Sanders.

mikeschmidt · June 25, 2007 7:08AM

be happy with your sales price

Rogermnj · June 25, 2007 7:53AM

The problem with cards like that is you usually only have 1 buyer that is willing to go off on that card so if you send it to auction you have nobody to bid against him.
So you start at 9.99 and he bids and your card sells for around $20...

I just sold a robin yount OPC psa 9-- thats right 9 -- for $65... if i put it up for auction, i doubt it would end higher then $10-$15..

Roger-

I have a f pop 1 bo jackson psa 10 (1991 FLEER #416)... mind throwing your guy an e-mail. I will give you 15% finders fee.

CDsNuts · June 25, 2007 7:57AM

Roger, if you click his name from the auction you should be able to contact him through ebay.

Rogermnj · June 25, 2007 8:02AM

Yes i know i could do that. For some reason, I don't like contacting buyers like that. Don't want them to think I am shady or "stalking" them. Once someone buys something from me I dont mind telling them about cards I have that they might also be interested in.

Roger-

OSClabs · June 25, 2007 9:03AM

Josh,

Thanks for the heads up on Greg's list! He does have a Aikman & Irvin PSA10.

Damn, you guys got me in the 90's team sets now! I had a rule limiting my purchases to pre 1990. Who in the hell invented this hobby?

CDsNuts · June 25, 2007 9:05AM

Bird watching is a hobby. Knitting is a hobby. This is an addiction like crack.

OSClabs · June 25, 2007 9:06AM

But I kicked the crack habit...

j/k

usmc1986 · June 25, 2007 11:25AM

Lee, you hit the nail on the head...it IS an addiction! I find myself thinking about cards even when I'm at work.
Me: "Hello, I'm Dan....and I'm a cardaholic"
Group: "Hello Dan"

detroitfan2 · June 26, 2007 12:51AM

<< Is Levi your Grandfather? >>

For whatever reason, I just think that is darn hilarious.

CDsNuts · June 26, 2007 1:59AM

The Sanders just sold. Can't imagine the Aikman will be too far behind. It's weird that some rare oddball stuff sells so high and some you can't give away.
