Do you bought a card in an eBay store?
Do you use eBay stores?
I take a look at cards in the eBay stores, but I've never seen a card that I've needed that I was willing to pay the price being asked. Perfect example tonight was a SGC40/3 Delong Cochorane I won for $116. There is a PSA 3 available in an eBay for store for $300.
I'd love to hear from dealers as too whether eBay stores is effective for collectibles? Intuition tells me it not a good thing for collectibles but would work great for common items like t-shirts, clothing, car parts, etc.

Re: Do you use eBay stores?
I have never sold through the ebay "store" system. You are correct - most prices are outrageous. However, I have purchased some cards through eBay stores - I simply had to wade through the high prices and find some at decent prices (did this when I was bored). I recently bought a couple of Sov. 460 T206 HOF'ers in PSA 4 holders. The seller had lowered the prices on both $50 or more from what he started them out at, so I bought them at the new lower prices - I especially loved the fact that both were 460 Series only HOF'ers! ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)

I think it is a decent alternative for a dealer/card shop owner. The exposure is good but they also have to realize the people looking at there ebay store are probobly bidding on auctions and have a good grasp of the going rate on the auctions. The fees are higher for stores but you don't have to fight to win the card. I have tried buying off stores with counteroffers to no luck and don't ever look at them because the prices always weem so high.

RJP - You hit the nail on the head! When bidding on certain rarer T206's, you will usually see the same list of bidders over and over. I have noticed some new ID's however. This goes to another discussion we were having as well, as I believe when we approach the T206's 100th Anniv., there will be even more competition.
With rare backs and other rarities within the T206 being high and going even higher, I think people will look for the undervalued cards more and more. IMHO, these are the 460 series issues - especially the semi-tough backs and the 460 Series only cards. I recently picked up a couple of 460 only PSA 4 HOF'ers with Sov. 460 backs at decent prices in eBay stores. I went back to buy the Chance 460 only card I left in a PSA 4 holder with a common Piedmont Fact. 25 back and it was gone. This made me wonder if the winner had read one of my posts on these being undervalued????
