There! I just listed 9 miscut Pupsi's and at a starting price of just $.99. Have at it miscut collectors!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230519154369
my bid was canceled and it's ended???..wtf?...did ya get some big offer to pull it?
i'm not busting yer balls,,,i do it all the time as welljust funny that this would warrent that type of transaction...must be worth more money then i thoughtnext time i'll bid $2
ya that's gonna suck for lots of people,,,to tell ya truth though,,,a page of 9 mis-cuts would be cool to keep
What do you mean your bid? The top bidder bought a few other things from me so I negotiated a price with him to sell it along with the other cards he bought. Did you have a snipe in there? What I find is most anything on ebay is up for negotiations. I saw that Cardgary yesterday sold a gold Wiiz that I may have been after. I messaged him to see if it was sold and he said yes. I didn't have a chance. With ebay fee's, people with try and get around the extra cost.
What is your personal policy for pulling down an auction? I personally won't do it if there are bids on the item. At least if there are no bids I can justify it by saying "no one was interested, there were no bids", but it still bothers me a little to be honest.People can say what they want about eBay, but it provides us incredible exposure as buyers and sellers that I know I would miss greatly if it wasn't there. If you are going to take advantage of the exposure they provide you don't they deserve to make a little money in return? I think they do, and that's why it bothers me when I pull down an auction. It's not the way the system is supposed to work.
From the opposite side, I can tell you how much it stinks to be bidding on an item, and then it's just gone. That's happened to me a number of times, and I frequently now feel, why bother trying?
I have only pulled down 2 auctions with bidding in the last 10 years. I have pulled down about 20 auctions in the last couple years with no bidding to sell off of ebay. I really didn't think the miscut auction would get much notice but I guess it has. The guy that bought it was also the top bidder and I got 4 times as much for it as he was bidding. The auction could have gone higher but I really didn't care. I totally agree that ebay is great for exposure and we need it. I don't plan to do this on a regular basis.
But what if somebody came on here and said, "SOLD!!"
...don't they deserve to make a little money in return?.
Exactly, and that's why I won't pull one down if there is a bid. It's happened to me as a buyer and it stinks, especially if there is something you really want. If there are others out there like me it would be wise to put an early bid in just to show interest.
This is getting crazy.......how can we be expected to collect these at these prices?http://cgi.ebay.com/Wacky-Packages-ANS-7-COLOR-SKETCH-CARD-Fred-Wheaton-/380265715717?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58899a5805
What's with these Ebay sellers running auctions for the (still available from Topps) cereal box sets for double the cost???http://tinyurl.com/Cereal-Box-RipoffThe same seller is selling the Poligripe card for the same cost of the entire collectors kit that includes Poligripe.

Funny. We should call these people, Keystone Seller's. That's a nice mark up! Maybe it's a "handling charge"? hahaI've been wondering (maybe I missed it), do we have any idea of how many trays were (or will be) produced? Do we know if the cereal box sets will be available for several years to come? I have the same question about the regular edition postcards. I see Topps still has all of the postcard series available, including series 1 from 2007, and wonder if or how long it will take to sell out, or if they every will.
I find it amusing that this guy is selling these as promoshttp://cgi.ebay.com/Wacky-Packages-New-Series-ANS-7-Promotional-Card-5-lot_W0QQitemZ230520059101QQcategoryZ60240QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3907.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D8%26pmod%3D380266291184%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5752111975390376882
This one cracks me up too! I seems that every time I see this auction the dude is listing it higher and higher............http://cgi.ebay.com/WACKY-PACKAGES-MICHAEL-JACKSON-10-STARS-ORIGINAL-ART-/130430343730?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5e411a32
That guy is losing cash on the insertion fee's. Doesn't make sense. He has been trying to peddle that art for a year now. I actually don't like it at all.
