Devastated. :(
Sold my Tebow Breast Cancer awareness auto this morning. Final bid $61 and some change. I was hoping it pulled in $100 as the x-mas gift I was going to buy with the proceeds was also $100. When I listed the ad there had only been 4 others posted on ebay and 2 sold immediately. It seemed like after I posted my ad another 8 popped up. 3 ending on the same day as mine. And (1) 2 days earlier (5 day auction.) I really am loathing the guys that listed theirs so closely to mine, and hope that the respective high bids of $32 and $45 remain in place.
I wish at this point I would have just tried to trade it for something nice.
Sigh.
Anyone else have a seller's remorse story?

i had a welker/crabtree dual auto i sold on ebay for $51. the only other one i saw before mine went for $171 i think it was. i got excited and put it on there thinking i'd get the other guy who was bidding on the previous one that sold to bump it up there for me so he could snag it. well that didn't happen. he got it at 3x less than the first one. i'd have kept and traded it if i'd have known $51 was all i was gonna get.

your not looking at this the right way, you sold yours for $61, the other two are selling for less, buy them, wait a week until he has another some what good game, then sell those, you make a profit off of them, and have the money you need to buy what you originally wanted to get from selling the one you originally sold.

If i had the funds free to do so I might consider it. I think the one might possibly be being shilled right now anyways.

Bah $81 and $86 . I think I should have held out until several more of them were accounted for on ebay.
Oh well.....
I still have an AP patch auto that no one will make on offer on. Maybe that will happen, maybe it won't.

In my opinion, $61 in hand is still better than a piece a cardboard with a picture on it.
