It depends what you are selling. High end Trout is pretty competitive, and draws other visitors to their site. He offered -5% commission. Meaning you get some of their commission, and ultimately around 105% of the selling price.

I believe lower-end items don't get as good of a rate.

I do wonder how negotiable those numbers are.

So if the card sells for 10k, you get $10,500?

Oh damn, that is awesome. I guess that’s why they get the biggest pieces. Good luck with your sales!

Correct.

I have four diamond us175, but three of the four have connective PSA serial numbers. Trying to decide if I should list those three together. I know it's dumb, but seems like the kinda thing some rich collector might pay extra for.

On the other hand, might back fire and price out a lot of bidders.

So Goldin makes 5% selling your cards? Just by having Trouts you get that kind of deal?

One of my new favorite cards! Big Brewer / Yelich fan and Trout as well. Pulled this card in a break but had to buy out the other half. Super excited

DO NOT sell them together. I do not see that forcing the same competition. Also, do not list them all at once if that wasn't already a no brainer.

Cashing in on ATH's, smart investment. Own it for a couple years, make a few million. Puts more risk on the next owners balance sheet.

The lebron sale made so many headlines around the hobby and sports world. The trout superfractor will also draw a huge crowd and some investor types that just came in after hearing of the lebron sale. I bet It’ll cause all high end trouts to rise in price with people wanting a piece of the action

Yes. Do not list 4 diamonds at the same time. This will give you less money because bidders will have 4 copies to choose from. List one at a time

I thought the red sale drove prices a bit. After seeing a TG+ go for over 20k on ebay, can't wait to see what the super sale does. Especailly if it 7x's what VD paid for it!

I was wondering this too....say the Trout super beats the LeBron....do all Trouts go up or only certain ones (2009-2011)?

No, Goldin charges the buyer a 20% fee. They keep 15% and kick 5% to me.

Maybe.... but this isn't ebay. Goldin attracts higher end collectors, and the fact that they are three sequentially numbered does make them exclusive. You aren't going to ever find that again.

LeBron 1.8M effect is affecting NBA prices across the board.

Trout high end sale like this will do the same for MLB cards. especially for the top rookies we are all looking at.

I can afford 1 not 3 so automatically pricing buyers out when opting to do it that way. PM me what you are looking for on the 4th. Maybe i'll save you some time.

That’s nuts. A Bowman chrome blue just finished tonight, true gem for 11,100. So not even that much more.
