Chatty Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 In the last few days i noticed a record for sale on ebay usa, (book price £150) which sold for around $80, then a day later noticed another copy by the same seller up for auction. (Described in the same condition, M-) Having looked at his feedback it shows he's sold at least 6 copies in the last 2 months, a quick look at popsike and another record auction info site shows no mention of any of them. Would there be a innocent explanation for this? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Not only do popsike and collectorsfrenzy miss auctions but popsike collects data and bulk uploads it in intervals (once a month?? i can't remember), so you won't see new results right away. collectorsfrenzy is updated daily. Also buy it nows and second chance offers would not be listed on either site, and it's very possible that the seller did that if s/he has quantity. Finally, a seller can ask popsike to take down an auction if s/he wants to but that is an unlikely explanation for this case. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
davidwapples Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 likely that seller has a found an amount and only letting them out one at a time or maybe offering copies to highest bidders to maximise the return he would get Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sceneman Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 popsike seem to be getting selective about what they show and some titles have been weeded of sales . possibly because prices are falling as buyers are hard up .its not as buoyant as it was Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Not so sure about buyers being hard up, I think many collectors have had enough of ebay and no longer use it. Many use other sites now preferring straight cash deals. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
