Buy-sell guide

BUYER'S SIDE

Sports Cards asks are down -19.5% over 30d — sellers are chasing the bid.

Median ask
$3,375 now, against $4,190 30d ago — -19.5%.
Listing supply
241 kept active listings, against 212 30d ago — +13.7%.
Filter survival
99% of raw eBay results survive our keyword and price filters, so the rest were off-target listings.
Ask spread
Low to high asks span 357% of the median — wide enough that condition and completeness are doing most of the pricing.

If you're buying

  • More listings than last week means you can wait out an overpriced one.
  • Send offers on stale listings — supply this deep rarely clears at ask.
  • Check sold listings, not asks, before you agree a number.
  • Confirm condition and completeness in the photos, not the title.

If you're selling

  • You are competing with a deeper shelf — lead with the lowest credible price or hold.
  • If you can wait, wait. Dumping into rising supply sets your own comp low.
  • Price against sold comps from the last 30 days, not the top ask on the board.
  • Photograph the flaws — the discount you take up front is smaller than a return.

Signals, not appraisals. Always verify recent sold signals before you buy. Every number here is an observation of active eBay asking prices, not a sold price and not an appraisal. Always verify condition, authenticity, and recent sold signals before buying.
