I am selling out and i have a pricing question.

MTBright · Dec 26, 2009

I am getting out of all of this. just tired of it. want to spend time doing other stuff. I am going to put my weaver patches (from my sig) on ebay. Should i break them up or sell as a lot of fourteen. If i sell as a lot what do you think on a price on the lot?

Thanks for all your time and help.

Re: I am seeling out and i have a pricing question.

If not in a hurry, put the lot up for 7 days with a solid BIN. See what offeres you get and go from there. If nothing else you can then break them up and list them seperately.

List two or three auction style for a week at .99. At the end of the auction, email the buyer(s) and let them know you have more. Try to deal off ebay and save some fees.

I would sell as a lot, because I would buy them as a lot, singles too much work to win them all. Thats me personally. Sorry to hear your getting out of the hobby though.

I would take a deep breath, put away all my cards for a few weeks and then revisit the issue from then. One of the biggest mistakes I made was selling my PC the first time around and having to build it back up. Unless you're totally certain that the urge to rebuild it will never enter your mind and you don't immediately need the money, just put it down for a while. You only have to invest as much time and money as you wish into the hobby.

sorry to hear about this. i'm sure that you've thought about this for quite some time now. it might be a good idea to give it a little more thought before doing anything just yet. best of luck with your decision.

good advice.

That is great advice. I did just this a couple years ago. But now I see that my future is not dealing with cards. I am doing much more with photography, as some of you know that is not cheap. coaching and teaching have taking a lot of time this year and honestly i do not get that feeling with cards any more.

Sorry to hear but it is understandable.

A few weeks ago someone sold off a similar group of Prince Fielders, the single cards sold really low imo since they were listed on the same day.

I think they should get 30 a piece with some of the letters going above 50.

You talking about the 2008 Ultimate Collection /5?

I got me two of those.

Yes, did you think they closed low?

what if you did 5 lots of 3 cards( that includes the white jersey )?
1 great patch with 2 other OK patches. would that yield a better return than the 14( or 15 ) card lot?

thats a good idea. I am going to put up all 14 with a BIN/BO and see what interest there is.

Personally I think this is your best plan. One of the people bidding against you when you won these might want them all.

Probably by at least 20-30%. And I definitely agree with your assessment that they would have gone higher had he spread them out. I know for a fact I would have gone higher on my bids. I was the underbidder on two others that I didn't go at more aggressively because I had already won at least one.
