Now...Ah, the trade bait hook getting some nibbles. Now, when to set the hook?<br /><br />Even though I discussed the value of credits, I don't think that way. Postage is a wash. I ship something out when I sell, I get something when I win. I do think of it more as trading. Was getting that Castro card worth 21 NASCAR cards that I don't want/need? Sure. The Burton card for three NASCAR cards? Yes. Nomo for 45 NASCAR cards? You bet.<br /><br />This form of trading is different than blogger trading. I don't really try to figure book value in blogger trades. If I'm willing to part with some cards that another blogger wants, that's fine. They're probably doing the same thing with me. But this is turning into a blogpost, so I'll get my thoughts together and make it one.Mark Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022715354021247303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962394791591172576.post-33345340939238190642013-03-14T19:19:02.857-04:002013-03-14T19:19:02.857-04:00I can't believe I missed that Nomo.
I haven&#...I can't believe I missed that Nomo.<br /><br />I haven't gotten into the whole "how much are credits worth" thing. I figured if I did that, my interest in Listia would stop being a harmless diversion and start being work.<br /><br />I start out my auctions very low and I'm happy with whatever credits I get. All my auctions sell, the cards get out of my house, and I end up with enough to grab a cool card or two on the site ('55 Topps and '61 Topps and a serial numbered Nomo are plenty cool with me).night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962394791591172576.post-87717493521301202272013-03-14T17:12:55.355-04:002013-03-14T17:12:55.355-04:00I think it is also around 800-1,000 credits per $1...I think it is also around 800-1,000 credits per $1. The most efficient way to turn cash into credits is to buy a $5 or $10 online gift-card (like Amazon or Itunes), then list that in an auction. Those tend to go for a lot of credits. Then you email them the code and don't even pay for a stamp. :-)Josh D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13718628093230589490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962394791591172576.post-818804658910903782013-03-14T16:21:37.559-04:002013-03-14T16:21:37.559-04:00I'm at the point where in my mind 1,000 = $1.0...I'm at the point where in my mind 1,000 = $1.00. I don't like to start many auctions below 499 because that's the price of a stamp (never mind the envelope, top loader, etc.). I still find myself selling some stuff for less than the 499 mark though just so I can get credits for stuff that I do want.
