Caleb Donruss Pink PSA 9s - Gotta love eBay pricing!!

[PristineDesk4009]

I was looking at some Caleb Williams Donruss Pink PSA 9s a while ago and came across this listing. $70 asking price plus $26 for shipping... when the last 5 sales have been sitting flat at $55.

Do sellers actually get away with this, or are they just hoping a buyer is too lazy to check recent comps?

I can't speak about EBAY but we have quite a few sellers here that ask OUTRAGEOUS prices for their modern cards. For some of these modern, manufactured scarcity items, some are asking for over $1,000 for guys who have accomplished absolutely nothing in their careers. Oh but it is an low numbered auto and a game used jock strap of some prospect who will more than likely end up being a suspect. For that kind of money I could easily go to a card show and come away with a crapload of high quality vintage.

Sellers like the one on Ebay are banking on undiciplined, impulse buyers who breathlessly must have a particular card because they had a big game last week or hit a home run the night before. And like the saying goes.........."Fools and their money....."

The answer is yes……Not everyone checks comps because it’s a pain…..If there’s a better deal, jump on it……Not all sellers are the same though……Do they ship professionally, are the holders scratched? I don’t deal with graded stuff but would wonder about that…….Most collectors know what’s a good deal or not, with or without Beckett……..

Unfortunate times really to check cards over eBay and Fanatics

PristineDesk4009, some of it is hoping nobody checks, but a lot of those listings are just fishing for offers. If Best Offer is on, a $96 all-in ask often sells somewhere near the comps anyway. The $26 shipping on a PSA slab is the real tell though; that's usually padding to lower the fees on the item price. I always filter sold listings and look at total price with shipping before making an offer. Did you end up grabbing one?
