In response to "Beckett pissed on me by eliminating trading in their forum." by Jim

I did some calcs on Beckett's trades and sales.....it's actually cheaper with them than trading/selling on eBay.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Oct 22 '08, 05:28

they charge like 4% of the sale value. Ebay's something like 8%.

Even that, especially now sine they ain't charging to trade...could be a plus. It was just rolled out so asininely terribly.

The bummer for me, though, is when I hit a "Trading Broncos" thread on the old board...if I struck a deal, it was free (save shipping). - Jim Oct 22, 05:30 8

        is there much of a market for older stuff? Hockey perhaps? -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 05:47 3
        
        Unfortunately, the hobby has gone almost completely auto-crazy. Even game used cards aren't in demand too much anymore. - Jim Oct 22, 05:53 2
        
        mostly around 78-82 (so AGretzky rookie, Messier, Coffey, the big Oiler guys plus Bossy and a few others)... - Beaker Oct 22, 05:55 1
        
        For stuff like that, I'm sure there's a market. Hell, I'd be interested in the Gretzky. - Jim Oct 22, 06:00
