My new trading site.

Ever since I started collecting, I had a wantlist and I hated using threads so I got myself a freewebs page. I didn't like writing out lists of cards I had for trade and I liked having scans of my cards so I also got a photobucket. I hated the gallery on freewebs so I had to use both. I got really tired of having a bucket and a freewebs and not having them interconnected. Plus, I had unscanned cards that weren't worth scanning. Finally, I have a wantlist and tradelist in the same location as well as still having scans of most of my cards. I present to you, my new and improved tradelist/wantlist:

feedback welcome. And let me know if any links to scans don't match the card. It's almost 4 am here and it took me about 20 tired to spell it's right the 1st time in this sentence so cut me some slack.

very nice. i've had the same problem. instead I just opened an ebay store and everything worth at least $1.00 goes in there.

thanks but don't you have to pay for an eBay store? I'm cheap lol so this works well for me.

[FuriousD82]

a basic store costs $15.95 a month.

with this, all Buy It Now, Best Offer listings above $25 cost 5 cents each
all, buy it now, best offer listings below $25 are 3 cents each

auctions insertion fees are the same.

However, store owners get a discount on final value fees for items above $25

Having said that, I had about 500 cards I wanted to sell (have to pay the tax man's bill)...in the past 30 days, I've sold $1100-1300 worth of cards. My fees on these sales are around $175. so my gross is just below $1000ish.

so basically, it costs more up front, but if you plan on doing any bit of selling, its definetly worth it

cool cool. I only sell when I need paypal and thats not very often so my way works well. Can't believe you've sold so much. thats awesome

[FuriousD82]

I am shocked as well. I am learning more and more as I go how this works. I've bought a few high end boxes with the money I've made and have sold those singles as well. So technically, I've retained non of my profit.

Now I am selling to pay my back taxes and credit cards. Not buying at all and I dont collect anything but certain autographed sets (SPA FW Autos) so yeah.....even though I've brought in the loot, it is gone before I know it :)

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
