Has anyone ever bought or sold from bigapple59?
I'm not all that familiar with buying and selling on eBay. I do peruse it and look at prices just to get a ballpark price when I'm taking stuff to a swap. Generally I'll ask about 3/4 of what I see on eBay, and barter from there.For rich guys, his prices are obscene. As a seller-good.
Ebay pricing is retail. One gets a money back guarantee. Swap meets have almost no overhead. No guarantee either. Too often the "well it sells for on ebay so I want..." isn't reality. What something sells for at the mall versus a yard sale are two different markets. This explains the outlandish prices I see at hamfests.I'm not all that familiar with buying and selling on eBay.

I've seen stuff on ebay going for twice brand new retail. Totally ridiculous. Like this.Ebay pricing is retail. One gets a money back guarantee. Swap meets have almost no overhead.
