Wrong. They sell cards for free if they feel the value of the promotion of their website outweighs the value of a commission. They benefit from the attention of the sale even if they don’t get “paid”. I, got one, had never heard of that auction site. Now I know it exists.

I have sold plenty of cards through auction houses (mainly vintage) and can say that I have never paid to have them auction off my cards. They make their money from the Buyer's Premium. Goodwin's BP is 20%, so the buyer will pay a 20% fee on top of the winning bid.

I can understand the headache that might come from eBay, but do these other auction houses have a lot more strict standards as to who can bid?

These auction sites are very good about weeding out their buyers. You have to have references and a Credit Card on file before you can bid. It is best not to wait until the final day of an auction to sign up as you could get shut out.

Insane what a piece of cardboard can go for.

[Rjk214]

It definitely was going to be higher than $30K as I said it would earlier. Probably $45-55K is my guess now.

Ohtani is clearly a player that this generation has never seen before and he is tremendous on both sides of the ball. It just comes down to health really

[bigunitcards]

$139k and climbing

Let’s see some bids in last 2 min!

[KB81]

Time went from 11 min to 14 min. ??
Did it end already?

[jam92102]

I just want to know did this guy drop thousands on cases, hit this in one box, one pack, one blaster? This makes opening packs fun. The thrill of the chase.

It's in extended time so I figure each time a new bid comes in the clock goes back to 15 minutes.

153,380!!!

Auction houses have different rules for bidding than eBay. Most of the time the rules are an auction will not close until there are no more bids on a lot for 30 minutes. Goodwin seems to have a 15 minute rule for this auction.

[KB81]

Never mind. Thanks.

[Hollywood42]

What an amazing bidding format for the seller

Local card shop purchase on a few hobby boxes. I did think he lost out not selling to Blowout but obviously BO had a buyer for more than $100K.

[LCM1223]

$153k

This bid price doesn't even show the 20% buyer's premium that will be added to the price at the end of the auction.

How does that work?

Hopefully the people bidding are aware of that since that's absurd

The bid amounts placed in the sale at www.goodwinandco.com are sometimes also referred to as the hammer prices. A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the winning bid or hammer price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium is equal to 20% of the winning bid price.

For example, in the event you win a lot with a successful bid price (hammer price) of $1,000, then your total cost for that lot will be equal to the $1,000 successful bid price plus the 20% Buyer’s Premium. In this example, the total cost for the lot will equal $1,200 (plus shipping, handling, insurance, and sales tax, if applicable).

Which would be $30,676

[vintage9788]

$200,000 + card?

[KB81]

Well that sucks.

[backtoreality]

what do you guys think the kanji is worth?

[Hollywood42]

If you can afford to drop $150k on a freaking baseball card, you can probably afford to drop $180k
