I don’t really need it. Always seemed like in the earlier days you always received it and honestly I guess I have formed a habit of always giving feedback for items I purchased over the years. The last 350 items sold I only had 17 people left positive feedback. No negative or neutral. When it’s my slow season, I tend to overthink things. But one thought on Feedback, I do wish negative feedback could be added back to buyers. I can’t believe it’s been over ten years since it was taken away…makes me feel old and my store feel even older. The same as you guys, it seems I have two or three non payers a week. I just wonder how much eBay really tracks those non payments. Thanks for the replies guys and thoughts. I don’t chime in a ton but love the show and the forum.
Hi Christine, I have been to similar sales. Something that I have found at these sales that can be extremely collectible and relatively cheap…Frisbee golf discs. Some of these you can pick up for a couple bucks and sell for a decent amount $30 to $150. Most colleges now have a disc golf courses on campus and students try it out, give up or just throw them away. Look for older models and discontinued ones, also color variations on the discs. I actually learned this from a student that lives near me….had no idea there was such a big market for them.
I actually disagree with Baseball Cards being on the list. I have a good deal of success buying off Facebook groups and flipping on Ebay. The market is actually up on Modern cards..anything recent years. Boxes of 2018 Bowman were selling for over 350 for a Jumbo box. There are boxes that you can find at Target right now for 14.99 that can easily flip on Ebay for 30-50 dollars. They were going for more until the Ohtani injury. I actually think Ebay has driven the prices up more than anything. Collectors in towns without a Hobby shop want to get their favorite player or “prospect” that next guy. Of course cards from 87-99 or so, yes the market is dead there…but that doesn’t make the whole market bad. I do find Modern cards locally at Thrift Stores etc that can be flipped pretty easily for a decent price. Prospects and futures drive the hobby now…almost like the stock market. But everyone has their niche, and I actually mainly sell to collect more and was once a full time “breaker” so I am partial to the industry and hobby. 🙂
