BIN/OBO - The FLIP side of this discussion....

I have read rants about high price BIN's/OBO's.......how about the bidders who make low ball offers not even close to what a card is currently bringing? I get so sick of offers that are below of what All Star Cards even pays with NO FEES!

Case in point: Bob Gibson Rookie PSA 6. ASC pays $155 for that card in that grade. I am getting offers of $140, $145...and that is BEFORE Ebay tacks on their 10-13%.....when I counter something realistic, I get quoted VCP average, "I'll NEVER get that!"..yada yada yada

So....there is always another side to the HIGH PRICE yada......

    ASC= All Star Cards
  • In my opinion the reason people list BIN/OBO's high is because people offer very low. People always want to think they're getting a deal whether they're still paying too much.

    Neither work for me. I just list everything as auctions with starting price as low as I"m willing to sell at. That way if 1 person bids they feel like they got a great price and I don't feel like I gave away something.

    ASC=All Star Cards. In their monthly magazine, they have a BUY LIST, which shows what they are paying for certain cards in certain PSA grade levels.....

    I think he should instead focus on bringing more of these informative and engaging posts to the CU boards.
