pre-selling young guns

[joshpackham]

I have no problem with people doing this, however it boggles my mind that a Petterson auction is currnelty as high as it is.

Good grief.

 

[Cujo241]

Geez, that's crazy.

No surprises here, it happens every year.

If a Matthews sells for twice that, why the surprise? This kid is the real deal, and Canucks fans are known to be a rabid bunch.

Check out the completed/sold listings. Has been trending upwards since Oct. 17th, when the same seller had three go for less than $50 US each.https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=elias+pettersson+young+guns&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

the first ones always sell for the most, nothing new here!

 

[joshpackham]

wow those early ones look like steals now, I always get that the first ones sell for the most, I just didn't see the demand being as high as it is for this young star. I think it's great that his cards are selling so well, just surprised me when I saw the prices, I wasn't thinking his would be a 100 dollar card, boy am I wrong

Yea nothing new here, the early YG's sell super high since nobody has their copy yet.

This guy is really good, watched him in a game- and you can tell he has something special. Good to see some excitement in what initially looked like a so-so YG class.

 

[mack_and_mangos]

I'm not surprised, Pettersson is a special talent.
In fact, I expect the card to hover around 200$ for the first few weeks.

This is actually a pretty smart move by the seller... by doing a Pre-Sell on the cards before the markets are flooded once the products are live.

oh without a doubt you're beating the rest and making bigger sales. Does ebay really allow you to sell cards before you have them in hand tho?

It is a violation of eBay policy but if nobody reports the seller eBay don’t care.

According to this it is allowed.

They must have changed it. I was not aware. Thanks for the update.

I've sold 10 copies of his YG thus far. Anywhere from $90-$130US. Pre-sales are always good when it comes to Young Guns.

I wasn't aware eBay changed their policies either. I used to pre-sell Video Games on eBay, and they removed my listings... that was years ago.

Kinda feel sorry for the people over-paying for Petterson YG. It's not even limited, and there's no serial number. Easy money for the sellers.

How does that work? Do you just rip tons of product, banking on hitting 10 or more of those cards? Just curious, thanks.
