Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I've never sold anything all that valuable on ebay before, but I pulled a gold Luis Robert last week that I am trying to sell and it blows out anything I have tried to sell before. Is it worth accepting a big offer I got a few hours after I listed it, or should i see where the auction goes as it has gotten a fair bit of interest so far. I just moved and could really use the money, but i dont want to get  too greedy and miss out on a big payday.

I'd take the offer...

Take the offer. There's a good chance the "flavor of the week" will do good at auction, but you never know. I can't tell you how many auctions I've won for 99 cents or less because I was the only bidder.  

Depends on the price they are going for currently, how high your offer is, and how much you want for it. What is its condition? 

If you provide a link I could probably help you out a bit more. I don't want to blindly advise you one way or the other without knowing the context, but it sounds like your mindset is in the right place about not getting too greedy. (Trust me, I've been there. I rejected a $300 offer for a Topps Chrome gold wave Hiura auto last summer, and only ended up getting $225 for it 3 months later.)

But again, context, context, context.

Edit: I was doing some research, and it really looks like this card is fluctuating quite a bit on the market right now, which makes sense given that we are threee games into the season and Robert's career and he just hit his first home run, so it may be a bit inflated right now. Assuming your card is NM or better, I would accept absolutely no less than $210 for it, if you really need the money like right now. But given the market over the past few days, it appears $225 to be pretty likely. I'd try to get $225 and be happy. 

I always turn off the option to accept offers on my auctions. Generally the more emails I get from people trying to get me to end it early menas that the auction is going to pay off big. This is an unusual time for sellers too. People seem to have a lot of disposable income right now and they are paying too much for non neccessities. It is nice when you can search completed sales and find comps when its possible too. Good luck with whatever decision you make and I hope you get paid!

Agreed that referring to sold listings helps but make sure you pay attention that if it says sold .99 cents but best offer accepted,  then it likely sold for more than that.

You can use https://130point.com/ to search the card and it will show what the best offer price was actually accepted for instead of just saying $0.99/Best Offer Accepted. Just a little bit of information there if you didn''t know that.
