It looks like they're listing a bunch more stuff. Are they just relisting the old stuff they had up or is this new stuff? Or a mixture?

it is quite amusing to go to their auctions and sort by highest 1st.
those guys are doing good drugs over there.

all the Juan Gonzalez cards are 2-3x book and the numbered to 25 and less, you have to think a CRACK HEAD listed them. "BOSS DE BURBANK DE BURBANK"

The reason I ask is, unless I missed it during their first run, they have a card up that wasn't up before (that I don't have).

When someone comes in to consign a card (which is what Burbank does), they tell Burbank:

"I want <X-amount> for this card."

Then Burbank takes <X-amount> and uses a formula to add enough to it so that they have fees and a portion of the sale price for their service. Chances are, the owners pay a monthly fee, too (like most consignment shops).

As far as the Chavez stuff they relisted some stuff that hadn't been listed for quite some time. I have noticed they lowered from prices on a few things but still nothing near what I would pay :(

Looks like they are listing many new Manny inserts to me... doesn't hurt to look at the menu.

I actually have a positive story about Burbank.

A few weeks ago, they had a 1995 Bowman's Best refractor on Beckett Marketplace for a little over $6 (fair price considering another sold on eBay last week for $7 at auction). Well, an hour later I get the dreaded email "Sorry but we sold it already, blah blah blah." However, the next sentence caught my eye. "We can refund your money if you choose OR you can choose another card from our inventory up to $11 and we'll send it out."

Well, it just so happened this card was in their inventory at $11.30. 3 days later, it's in my collection (and I needed it anyway).

That's great Tim! Nice addition.

They've listed a ton of Schillings that I could REALLY use and haven't seen in forever. The prices are still a bit high but they're awfully tempting and I may just bite the bullet on a few.

They have had a 1999 Upper Deck Exclusives #/10 of Gaetti up a few times for a rediculous price of $63.00 and change. I know it's numbered to ten and it's the only one I've ever seen listed, but it's just not a $63. card to me. Wish I could counter-offer.
