Question for anyone really into sportscardss and the whole scene. When I was a kid sports cards were HUGE mainly baseball but all sports I suppose. We used to spend all our money on cards were more into cards than video games or anything. Used to go to conventions to collect and sell as well as get autographs.
Are kids today still into cards? I'm mid 20's so not that old but it seems to me like I was the last generation really into cards eeither that or I juts dont know what kids are into these days but it seems to me they are more into computers, phones, video games and justin bieber and all that crap.
Why the drop in sports card prices and memorbilia? You always hear people say they produced too many cards in the '90s and I do agree with that but how does that explain autograph values decining, memorbilia decining and evne older card values declining before hte mass cards were produced?
Is it the economy? Less disposable income to spend on stuff? Is it too much stuff was produced? Or just lack of interest? Curious what others have to say?
You should of used the Jetta...its a real workhorse.
So if I rent a Uhaul it still won't be cost effective than owning a vehicle?
Thats the thing. I hardly ever buy expensive items like that. I either just wait for the holidays or deal without. But yeah I see where your commin from jrossjr. I kept I think 15 dvds the game system and pocket recorder. Just things ive wanted for a while. Gave my dad a full set of nice plates and a couple smaller things as payment for helping as was his idea. So for 30 dollars the things kept were nothing compared to the profit I can still make
This will be my first of hopefully many post here. I am sort of a noob... I did a few auctions back when i was in college in the 90's. But have recently started getting back into them. It is a much different world now then it was then.
Initially I was using Auction Zip, but found that way too many people are showing up usually between 50-100. Which makes for high bids and long lines in Florida heat. I did end up buying 1 unit for $175 2 weeks ago w/ some misc furniture that I sold relatively quickly on cl for $415. Not a bad deal for first time back in the game.
My better units came this last Wednesday when I found an auction through the public notices. 5 lkrs and only 6 bidders. None of the bids went over $100. I got 2...one for $50 and one for $60. I probably could have won all 5, but a) I did not want to be "that guy" and b.) I knew I would not be able to clean everything out in 24hrs.
In the $60.00 unit, I ended up with a like new Lane cedar chest with tag still on it as well as bunch of dvds, xbox 360 games and a brand new video game chair.
In the $50.00 unit, I really cleaned up. I got some furniture that I have already sold for $150, A Nintendo Wii still in the box, an Xbox, bunch of dvds, race track, bunch of clothes, some small jewelery items, 2 tvs, misc household goods, etc.
Most unusual find in these units was a box full of bibles (plural) and a bunch of porn dvds... seems like an odd pairing for one box.
