I am going to list a game used base from Shea Stadium. Yes it breaks my heart but money is tight and I haven't been displaying it anyway lately. Anyway, what is best way to list with least fees? Should I go auction with a reserve price or is BIN the same fees?

It's from Steiner Sports, has COA from them and MLB hologram. Has the mounting stem and dirt on it. It was used in a game vs D-Backs on May 29th, 2006. I had brought it to spring training years ago for Wright to sign but he didn't. Moises Alou and Heilmann signed it but could be removed with rubbing alcohol I'm sure. Price, well I am going back and forth in my mind. PM me an offer.

My two cents...list it auction style with a BIN. Start the auction at what you want for it, or a bit less, and add the BIN to it. That BIN has to be 30% higher than your starting auction price. So as an example list it starting at 449.99 with a BIN of 599.99 that way if someone hits the BIN you're making more than you wanted via auction and if someone kills the BIN by bidding the opening bid at least you will get what you want out of it, minus fees of course.

Excellent idea. This will be the way but may knock the numbers down slightly. Thanks much!!
