For what it is worth, most of the current 'junk' cels that are priced too high. $9.95 are not getting any bids. And I have gotten most nice cels on E-bay for a good price and was able to sell some of my 'lesser' cels quickly there. But I never had a nice price on them. Mainly $1.00 or $5.00 opening bids with no reserve. It helped to get enough money to suppliment a purchase on something I really wanted. And a few of use are not looking for 'premium' cels. I generally cringe if I pay more then $30.00 for a cel and then force myself to sell something else to pay for a $50.00 or more cel. I even find myself going to the thrift stores to find good games that I know will sell on E-bay to get some extra money to buy sells. E-bay is really supply and demand and it takes two bidders to ever raise prices. If you don't like a price that something if offered. Don't bid. It's simply as that. The junk sellers will go away or lower their prices when there is no one buying. Simply as that. Kind of the same price adjustment that some cel dealers do as well to move out cels that are not being bought when they priced them too high for the market. E-bay isn't evil. I don't really see anything going at any high prices there anymore. |
