Are you able to maximum a sale by selling a rainbow?

[bsgwins]

If selling a rainbow all together, would you be able to make the most selling it all under one auction or selling separately is the way to truly maximize your profits?

Thanks

Generally speaking, stuff sells better as singles than in lots.

My rainbow is all BGS 9.5 except the Orange and Superfractor. I might sell the Super on it's own and the rest together.

Who is the rainbow of? Thats the biggest way to understand how it would sell.

BIN with BO maybe

Sell them individually for sure, at least the Super, Red, Orange, Gold and Blue....

When you sell them in a lot, basically you're selling the highest price card with the rest thrown in, so whoever would bid would bid basically for the super, if that makes sense.

By selling as a rainbow you are cutting down on the amount of people interested in your product, therefore diminishing the sale value. Simple answer is to break it up.

+1 The person bidding on a lot may already have one or more of the other cards and may not want dupes.

I don't think there's ever a reason to sell a lot of potentially valuable cards without a reserve and starting at 99 cents.

Your below is too small!

it really depends on what the price point is on the player


if it is a cheap rainbow, it my drive more attention if listed as a lot.


for expensive players the high price tag would drive out most bidders.

The high price tag on the super alone would keep most from bidding. But I'd be more leery of keeping away bidders who already have an orange and/or red and don't want to buy the same card twice.

usually there are only a select few who can even afford the super/red refractor to begin with, so if you sell it as a lot you are cutting your market from large to very small. Break it up.

I would have to disagree with a lot of poeple here. I have found quantity of a player to be more in demand than selling singles. The only problem I have found however is that I had to created a 30-Day BIN with Best Offer because it may take a while to get exposure simply because you can only put so many descriptive words in the sell line.

If you are in a hurry of moving your cards, then yes, single auctions would be the way to go. But if you are looking to maximize your profits, I would highly suggesting creating an auction with the Rainbow and running a BIN with Best Offer.

In the past few years, I try to build up as much as I can on one certain player and then throw up an auction to see if anyone will bite. Every single time I have had people put up offers higher than what I could sell the cards individually for.

Good luck with your decision.
