I listed a kobe bryant topps chrome rookie bgs 9.5 they have been selling for 375.00 to 450.00+ Mine has less then two days ands still no bids. I know I started the auction at 300.00 but im not losing this card for nothing like i have done in the past. Should I close the listing or keep the faith. I also have recieved several offers from buyers to close my auction early and they would pay x amount of dollars why not just bid on the item they may get it for less. Thanks Allen

Just be patient. Most of the people wait until the last hours to bid on stuff just to make sure they can get it for a good price and also be the winner.

Yeah, I rarely bid on a card before there is 10 seconds left and I win most of the ones I'm after although I don't buy many with the value of the one you are selling.

Why not list it either with a starting bid that you can live with or maybe as a "Buy it Now" that you put the price a little higher than you actually want and leave them the "Make Offer" option so they can talk you down some but you'll still be at a price you like?

Well the auction went good. I sum times get impatient with watching others get bid after bid on the same card i have listed, and my card gets nothing till the last min. Oh well. The auction closed at $441.00 not to bad. I turned around and bought a 2004-05 Exquisite Lebron James sick patch auto on the way, not a bad buy.

I haven't sold anything in a couple of years, but you can also see a number count of how many people are "watching" it. I ususally watch something if I have interest... I check back the day of to see how it's going.

Sounds like you sold it at least at a decent price so I'm glad it worked out for you.

Good deal.
