Prices were always going to settle on these. I was surprised the Mal stayed around that 1k for so long.Regardless of the sellers' ethics, it tells you where the price of a Mal Legend is currently at - sub $700. ET has been sub $500 for weeks.
Me too, ill take 500 each.I've got at least 7 in that condition. Happy to do one for $700 including postage
Right on Mike.eBay fees are pretty simple these days. Assuming you are a regular seller, the fees are a flat ~13.4% INCLUDING GST, plus $0.30 per item. So in this case, from $750 the seller clears $647.86 plus whatever profit he makes on his $10 postage charge. Not bad for an UNSIGNED card that can be acquired as part of a full set for around $200!
Think it’s more that this card is probably worth $5 tops was the point .This is always a interesting one when I see theses prices.
1. eBay takes approx 15% eBay PayPal fees.
2. If you are a casual seller not registered for eBay they will take 10% G.S.T depending on how much you sell I don’t know how that works.
So if a buyer has a card for $750 you offer $600 and the buyer knows he has to pay his fees including G.S.T he only gets around $450.
So you look at $750 and go that a rip-off but you don’t see what goes on behind the seen with pricing.
And the other thing the reason why you find it on eBay is you don’t need to deal with keyboard warriors.
This is what sends the prices up , but remember this theses prices will come down also because when they can sell it they will drop the price.
A person collecting IP signatures like the card to be in good condition but they are buying it for the signature the card is the bonus.
The grading is worth more than the card which makes it insane . Someone probably found a relatives collection and thought they could make some cashI totally agree, but when they start to grade cards they just think they are worth so much more.
I think grading cards is silly, thats m,o.The grading is worth more than the card which makes it insane . Someone probably found a relatives collection and thought they could make some cash
Could not agree more. Some guys have a card worth $1 tops - pay $20 to get it graded and then think it’s now worth over $100I think grading cards is silly, thats m,o.
But everyone to there own.
If Elvis had a dog, and it done a s h i t ,
Someone would buy it.
We buy cars, houses, dogs, cards etc.
If you want to spend more money getting it graded, so be it, doesnt make it worth more of a card, you just paid more money for someone to look at it, and say yeah its a good, bad, great or really great card.
I think i might buy some cards and put them away.
Well summed up and for me I'm struggling with this now. As a once master set collector who moved to team collecting. I'm now eyeing what might be next as I can't justify chasing a team master set. Not that a team master set is even possible now that we seeing 1 of 1s and it is the "completeness" that drives the addiction. As you said it's the drive, for me it's not the money it's a lack of desire. I am part of a Master Set Team share so I do get every STG card in hand which keeps me spending and interested but if that was to end.........................The chase to complete your collection is what people are striving for, and if that becomes onerous, and a life-altering expense then more and more of the long-term collectors will keep turning away. When 'lifers' decided they didn't want every card in a set it did damage, but if team-collecting 'lifers' start doing the same it will be a slippery slope. Once your sets are not complete you just don't care as much anymore..............
To be fair I can even live without adding the 1 of 1s to the collection. It is more the sheer volume of cards with so many numbered cards and then so many small release numbered cards that make it a real struggle.... Black Diamond Mojo anybody? I'm working such long hours as well now that without the good "footy" chat that used to be prevalent on here as well I find myself getting online less and less as well.
Sitting on $150k worth of cards there mateI recently bought a set of the 1991 NRL cards in mint condition from an auction house for $110.
