I would not be in it. That easy.
Yea...that seems to be my sentiment as well. Hell, I don't even think these boards would exist without eBay.
The AOL.com trade boards existed prior to eBay.
Prices would be stronger since cards would tend to stay more regional.
This is my thought. I know boards would still exist, but I think prices would be a lot more owner-driven. You would more likely be able to command higher prices across the board due to lack of a major marketplace.

Does anyone else see the ironic parallel here?

That a lot of people would argue that more exposure opens the sale to more buyers - driving the price?
If so, I think it could go either way, but I think having less access to a reference point for prior sales favors a seller.
Here, allow me to point you to another website attempting to create a large marketplace also to drive costs down: www.healthcare.gov

I understand that the AOL boards existed, but I am referencing FCB in my post.
Not having eBay to reference prices alone would change this hobby dramatically. It is really amazing to think how great of an impact eBay not only has on this hobby, but most hobbies that involve collectibles.
