Stamkos 1/1 auto question

[Qwikflipz]

An Orr auto 1 of 1 sold for 1001.00 US.
Stamkos is not Orr.

Plate auto? Orr has those?

And Stamkos isn't Orr, yet their hobby values are similar.

Not a plate auto, it was an Artifacts Autofacts Orr auto 1 of 1.

That is different, and actually that Orr is better than a plate auto.

Guys, you're mixing selling prices of all kind of 1/1s...

Bobby Orr is the greatest player, the words still out on Stamkos, 1 good year.

That doesn't matter. And that is your opinion. Cards are about hobby value, not how good a player is. Taveres is the highest selling rookie.. he wasn't even a Calder finalist.

It's not about a player's legacy, but rather, the demand for his cards within the hobby itself.

From that end, Stamkos has gained a LOT of traction after the season he had. I could absolutely see someone overspending for a card like that.

You have it all wrong, its about collecting and having fun, cards are just pieces of cardboard and nothing more.

Now you are just talking about nonsense and what you think...

It isn't that the seller may get $2000, the fact that someone may offer maybe $1000. Than take it, hence the BO on eBay. You think people who put BIN with BO expect to get full price? Of course not, but they have a price in their head, and if someone offers more than that price, boom sold.

i know where you're coming from and that makes sense to a point but there's still a line where realistic and unrealistic meet. it's obvious people with ridiculous BIN/BO's are looking for an offer but there's still only one effective way to go about it.

let's say for arguments sake the seller is expecting a $650 sale. a BIN/BO of $800-1000 seems reasonable and at the same time shows the seller is expecting a number in the $400-800 range (which may or may not be reasonable to some people).

on the flip side, you could set a $2K BIN/BO, or how about $4K? heck what's the difference? just do $10K! after a certain point, people will think you are asking for the moon and just move along without even glancing at the auction or thinking of a range to offer in. set a BIN/BO and receive offers of half doesn't always work.

this isn't to say that a seller can't have high expectations for his card. it is just that if you as a seller can't give an indication as to what you are looking for, don't expect people to make offers when they have nothing to go off of.
