<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 3573687, member: 23"]I am not going to sell on Ebay if I can help it. I found a postcard site on FB and they allow members to contact each other to buy & sell cards. I did go to Ebay to look at prices and I'm so confused. Here's an example. A 1921 postcard of a train station in rural Virginia. I have several rural RR stations so I'm checking. This card was listed at $9.95 and got bid up to $998! The fifth bid was $28.10. The sixth bid was $489.32 and it went up from there! Why? There was a similar card for another rural VA train station that had the same bidding war. I could not find any info on why this would happen. I guess I'll ask for the first amount listed for mine, but if I'm selling to one person off line, am I crazy not to put them on Ebay to see if I can tap into that insane market? </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/303811055329?item=303811055329&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/303811055329?item=303811055329&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/303811055329?item=303811055329&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
