Gotta be honest, the Baller Trout prices keep going all over. They were reaching right at $200 at one point, then dropped slowly before looking like tanking to $120.

I'm with premium and others, this is a $200 card once these panic sellers are done.

Someone convince me, do I get a Robinson Chang or get more of this week release?

$200 is a steal. Once he releases Mattingly and Rivera that will be a $350-400 card based on comparative PRs IMO

I think one thing people are forgetting to factor in is that collector's spent roughly $1.5 million and $1.0 million on Shore Griffey and Vides Ryan, yesterday. That is a lot of money spent that we will be sitting on for about a month that won't be reinvested for a few weeks. I bought 40 and 10 Vides and for that reason, I did not make many purchases yesterday. We will see a resurgence on the older cards again.

Profits are profits though, so congrats!
Lol thanks for the terrible advice. Hard pass. Your psychology surrounding money is completely busted, friend.

No need to congratulate me, my bank account has already done that.

Question for you all:

Sold a card to a 10 feedback buyer who has been a member of eBay since 2012. However, he paid immediately. I've sent him a couple of messages and he has provided no direct answers. In the listing, I clearly state no sales to less than 25 feedback eBay'ers. I don't have a warm, fuzzy feeling about this sale.

Would you cancel or would you honor the sale?

First time in a long time I've been iffy about shipping a card. Your opinions are appreciated.

Yeah I agree I was shocked last week when they were 45-55 for a day or so, I’m more shocked that I bought 3 each from two different sellers and both shipped.

I really don’t get the lack of interest in the card, I think it’s way nice than the Baller Trout which everyone seems to love

I don’t think that just posting something in your description would really hold up with eBay. He may not even have read it. I’m sure you would catch a neg if you don’t send

That was an OBO listing. Chances are someone made a nice offer, still under market value, and they jumped at it.

Is right now a good time to buy the Trout Baller? Or is it going to settle around $120-$130?

25 is the same as 10. Seems arbitrary. I have 23 in the past month and half of those are buying cards under $10.

I could see not buying from someone with less than 25 feedback as a seller so you can see a track record and a variety of comments that might give insight into how they grade cards or package cards. But a buyer that has no negative/neutral and has been on ebay with that account for 8 years and paid immediately sounds OK to me.

I'm dealing with a potential buyer now who accepted a best offer almost a week ago and hasn't paid or communicated in any way. 190+ feedback, all positive. Member since 2018. I'm not feeling confident about this sale being completed.
