Has anyone ever gotten burbank to budge on price at all?

[steve-a-reno]

Anyone? We all know how ridiculous their prices are on virtually all items, but some are just out of this world. Cards that have sold for a few hundred and they ask a few thousand. :lol:

LOL They are ridiculous. $2500 for a card that should be $500-$600. But whatever, it's their card. Hope they enough sitting on their inventory for the years they do...lol Turnover must be horrid.

To answer your question....No and I don't expect to.

I've never heard of selling a card for $4,401.00 and not offering a picture. :lol:

Welcome to Burbank Cards!

 

[MaineMule]

Not me...made a reasonable offer on a Ryan Klesko :lol: :lol: 2001 Ultimate Signature auto (#d to 150) of $10 incl. S&H and they told me their prices are firm. I got my copper (#d to 70) auto of him for $2+ S&H but have never seen the base auto listed except for Burbank and they are asking $39+ :shock:

I will remain patient.......

I've asked several times and the answer is always the same "our prices are firm" as stated before. I do wish they'd post more pictures of their cards.

I wish they'd learn to price more realistically.

They only lower their prices after they have been listed for a long time, but even then not too often.

That's just stupid. They should have a scan for each card over a certain amount, like $100. I don't care if their cat died or Hummer needs gas... if I can scan my collection and put it on the web (hand coded even) without any loss in money, they should be able to have a scan or 2.

If they are paying $.03 per auction in listing fees (not including final vale fees) they are spending $35,000 a month in fees. How can this passably be profitable????

 

[gracecollector]

I tried last week to get them to go to $40 on a card with a high Beckett BV of $40, they have it listed at $52. I got the "prices are firm email." If the card was an open eBay auction, I'd expect it to sell for $20. I told them "Your prices may be firm, but your grasp on reality is not."

They have 2004 DK Mark Grace auto/jersey/bats #/5 that I've routinely bought in the $50-$80 range at $270. They can keep them.

Well, based on their prices, if they sell 4 cards, they've made a profit.

If I'm correct, being a higher end store on the Beckett Marketplace, they get a deal on their eBay listing fees if they use the Beckett/eBay integration tool.

It is actually kind of cool, they can have it listed in both places at the same time. If it sells off of one, it gets taken down on off of the other one.

Yes, they made a mistake and sent me the wrong card. I sent it back and they gave me $5 for return shipping, and accidently refunded my $139 for the card they were suppose to send. After I made them aware of their mistake and gave them there $$ back they gave me 6% off of a card I was buying. Turned out to be a $17 discount but it was better than nothing. Of course I could have been a d*ck and just kept the $139 and the card. They had no idea.

Glad you didn't though; karma sucks and I would hate to see something bad happen to you!

 

[Cobra29svt]

Yeah...I agree. That's just not how I do things.

It is my understanding that they've worked a deal, along with organizations like buy.com, to have completely free listings. They're dealing in so much volume, that eBay makes plenty on the final value fees.

They absolutely will not send scans if you ask, no matter the cost of the card. I will say Eddie is a decent dealer though and he'll stand by his product without question.

When they first started listing their "30+ million" inventory, I snagged several harder to find Thomas cards at absolutely AWESOME prices. They've relisted some of those same cards now for 4 and 5 times what I paid originally from them. I really need the Stadium Club FAN 1st Day Issues...but not for $110+...I'm considering dropping some decent coin on one card they have, but I'm afraid I'll kick myself later.

Not true as they just did it for me...

Well, that just figures, they've not obliged me once...if it's not a "stock" image, I haven't gotten one.
