Ive also had offers and sales for cards I have listed within minutes, which makes me think I could have sold them for $5-10 more. Ive had other cards I sold that I know I should have not budged and maybe pulled them down and raised the price later.

Well obviously there are other examples. Amazon buyers tend to not shop around much as I sell some through there that are currently listed on eBay and COMC for cheaper. I'm talking about multiple sales that average that and the card has been sitting at COMC for months even years. I'm a player collector first, if a new card I need gets listed on COMC I'll make an offer right away if it's in my ballpark. Doesn't mean I'd spend way more. And it also doesn't mean someone else would spend way more. I tend to outbid most people for the Ickey cards I need, although a few new deeper pocketed guys have shown up recently. When I list new stuff on COMC I get a bunch of offers very quick and it's usually from flippers bc I always price mine initially as the lowest. Again, it doesn't mean I could have or should have listed it way higher. I've had a few flippers buy from me and they're still sitting on the cards months later.
