From time to time our buddies at eBay like to give back to the online community with a little promotion called 20-cent listing day (Vintage Baseball Card Forum Chat about this). You might ask yourself “Isn’t it called 10-cent listing day?” well it was until they recently doubled the price.

Still a good deal, however, and it usually brings some pretty interesting items out of the woodwork.
Let’s check out a few:

-    You can buy an original slide, with rights, of Arod… Pretty cool, hey?! Even cooler at the $1-million price tag? Arod himself couldn’t even afford that… actually, yes he could.

That was an example of a seller who is just out of touch with reality. This next seller knows what he is doing, but he is taking advantage of 20-cent listing day to squeeze a little more than normal out of his item.

I don’t fault a guy like this at all. I have done it myself. He is selling a 1961 NFL Championship Game full ticket for about $500 more than I have ever seen one sell for. Can’t blame him for trying. This seller and many others like him love 20-cent listing day for this reason.

I believe that this guy is taking advantage of 20-cent listing day in a crooked manner. Put a generic title listing up there and later on modify the listing to get the sale price of 20 cents at a future. Kinda sneaky!

-    I love this one… This guy has been trying to sell this football for about a year now. What’s commendable about this guy is he isn’t even listing it during a 20-cent listing day. Every time he tries to sell this he is dishing out at least six or seven bucks out of his pocket to sell, of all things, a “Reverse Dimple Leather Football.” Do I hear $14,000??!!!


Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!
