Any player collector ever done this?

[Hallsgator]

Any player collector ever put their whole collection on eBay for some insane BIN/BO, like $50,000, just to see if someone holding a rare card might contact you?

I remember on the old BMB, they guy with all the Teixeira USA RC jerseys did this. Just wondering if any player collector had and if they had any success.

Thanks!

I've seen it done a couple of times by BMBers.

I've done it a few times, and got nothing but lowball offers

I'm not sure it would work as well with player collections as it would if you were looking for a single card you were hoarding.

If I'm selling a babe ruth bat card and I see an auction up for the other 4 out of a run of five, I contact the seller thinking he might buy it to get a better overall price for his full run. If I'm selling a random card of a player I don't contact people with those silly "195 Lance Berkmans! No DUPES!" lots.

Dude, your signature, wow.


I remember a guy on the old BMB put his Holliday collection up at like 5K, but didn't get any bites.

Thanks for the responses, I might just do it for fun haha.

 

[nevermore]

I've never done it, but it would fun to see if anyone bites.

I have never done it but I would be afraid I'd get an offer I couldn't turn down.Or maybe even worse somebody actually hit the BIN.Then I'd have to get rid of them all.I wouldn't put them up there if I wasn't willing to actually sell them if someone hit the BIN.

I've sort of had an idea to do this with my Sizemore collection, but since I'm pretty much the only big Sizemore collector, I can imagine what sort of offers I'd get.

If anyone does do this, make sure you put Immediate Payment Required as part of your BIN.

i just did is last week with my escobar items and ended up selling them all. It sucks because i liked the items and escobar but it was time to move on to another project.

i agree, would be cool to find out

 

[Hallsgator]

Well, I'm gonna find out.

Hope no one hits the 9,000 dollar BIN. :lol: :lol:

 

[theplasticman]

Interesting idea!

 

[magicpapa]

ive pondered the idea

 

[blitzerlover]

What would you do if someone actually hit the BIN?

I would be sad, even if I made 2x what I paid.

Probably pay off every credit card I have and then some and be better off for it.But I still wouldn't be happy.

same here :lol:

 

[predatorkj]

same here :lol:

Yeah but nobody collects the stuff you do so it wouldn't matter! :lol:


J/K!

I do it once a year, probably when there's a $.35 listing deal. I do it more to see if anyone will bite. I never get any reasonable offers.

I would pack it all up and make a vacation of it.
