Well, one reason I can think of is that they don’t like to wait. If one is at 55 USD and ends within the next two hours, and the other is 50 USD and ends after 10 days, some people prefer to pay 5 USD so they don’t have to wait 10 more days.
Another possibility is that the bid above the other starting price was already done before the new one was put up for sale.
I agree that it’s sometimes strange to see something like that, but it has a few plausible reasons.
Is there something about US buyers having to bid in larger increments? It seems like other people can bid in 1k Yen increments but for me it would only take 10k. Maybe I’m missing something.
I’m aware. It didn’t go anywhere so I’m repeating the request with a little more specificity. I think it should be added into the original article as an update.
I included the link again because it felt rude to ask for work to be done and also to expect the author to hunt down the information once more. I think it will do more justice to edit the original article than it will to simply have it buried within the thread.
I can. Just doesn’t seem right to edit someone else’s article. Even for regular members I do not ever edit their posts unless I’m removing prohibited content. If I think an article could benefit from additional content, I’ll comment publicly with the content or directly message the author, as I’ve done with a handful of other articles.
That person clearly buys things to resell. Their “Jirachi Constructed Starter Kit” or “Flygon Constructed Satrer Kit” I remember seeing them in a lot of cards that I was interested in for months. The price was always clearly too high but it sold a while back.
Easily, and I mean easily $3500+ man. That’s just what I’d pay, I’m sure there are buyer on here willing to pay more.
You have one of the Starter pokemon SNAP cards. This will definitely bring in a higher price just because of that, as well as being one of the better looking cards.
