It goes without saying that the sales records that are published by Bruce and
Heritage are entirely accurate.
Well, I was very surprised to see that some of the sales records that ebay
publish are not at all accurate. I recently sold some lobby cards to a customer
in the US. I accepted his "Best Offer" through ebay on each of the cards and
sent them off to him.
However, I happened to check the listings and they are saying that each card
actually sold for the original asking price which was quite a lot more than he
actually paid. I thought this must have been a glitch but on the discussion
boards someone said that sellers were complaining that the actual selling price
was recorded when a Best Offer was made. The argument was apparently that
buyers would expect similar discounts on all of the sellers items.
A seller on the ebay discussion board said that, following the complaints, ebay
decided to publish that the item sold for the original asking price rather than
the actual price it sold for.
In the case of the lobby cards I sold, the original asking price was 44.99 but
I actually sold each card for 30.00 each. The listing which is there for all to
see states that the item SOLD for 44.99 which is totally false.
I would be interested to hear what you all think about this.
