i think everyone racing to ebay to sell right now are cutting their own throats!
yesterday on the 20th there were only 50 listing for pre-sales....as of now there are 804!
the saturation in the market place is making it a "buyers market"....any one who wants one now will go with the lowest bid offer and if they don't get it they'll just move on to the next lowest until they do!
why not wait a couple years when supply dies out and you get those guys kicking themselves for "not picking one up when they came out a couple years ago".
that's were the real money will be.
just my opinion of course. :cool
You make an excellent point.
I got my hands on 6 papers total. And I've sold 3 of them. I'm keeping one for me. I only need one. And by the way it looks really cool in my display case.
I'm not looking to profit, I've asked for the buyer to pay for shipping, the cost of the newspaper, the large envelope that fits the paper so it can be shipped flat in between cardboard so it doesn't bend, and I've asked for a little "beer money' for my time.
$900+ dollars is pretty crazy considering that USA Today has released this across the country and it's not exactly rare right now.
The amount I'm asking is based on my value of my time, burning gas driving around to get them, the cost of the paper, the cost of shipping, etc etc. I'm not the cheapest source. But I'm certainly not charging a crazy amount of money for one.
It's up to the buyer for sure at this point. The buyers are in control. I've quoted my price to a few people that have turned me down.
And one of my buyers called me a legend. :lol and I'll cherish that!
