Truthfully man, there’s always outliers on pwcc (they sell 2000-3000 cards per week). There have been plenty of times where items sold for more on pwcc than current BINs on eBay. You never know what buyers are thinking sometimes lol

There is irrationality because the market is wider, too.
For example, lots of international buyers who want to own the cards but don’t want to pay thousands in import fees. So they buy the cards and keep them permanently in their vault. Others use crypto, which may influence how much they want to spend depending on current market conditions.

Half the time I don’t look up comps and just bid what feels right. I can’t be the only one

How long is it taking lately to add an item to a pwcc vault from delivery?
Hopefully it’s fine to post this in this thread (if not, sorry mods – feel free to remove). I was busy and missed the last PWCC auction. If the people who won these items want to make the easiest money of their lives:
CGC 10 Pristine Absol holo – sold for $312 (I’ll offer $400)
CGC 10 Altaria holo – sold for $100.80 (I’ll offer $130)
CGC 10 Pristine Golem holo – sold for $126 (I’ll offer $150)
CGC 10 Pristine Plusle holo – sold for $186 (I’ll offer $240)
CGC 10 Salamence holo – sold for $98.40 (I’ll offer $150)
CGC 10 Pristine Shedinja holo – sold for $126 (I’ll offer $175)
CGC 10 Pristine Torkoal holo – sold for $132 (I’ll offer $175)
I’ll also cover all other transaction costs.

I wish more people would do this honestly, since you can’t interact with the person on the other side of the transaction on PWCC

This is actually a great buy thread idea! I would definitely encourage others to do the same thing!

I really hope down the line PWCC is more strict with non-paying bidders. I’ve had a few weekly auctions of certain cards selling and then not being paid for :/. venting sorry lol

They are everywhere and it’s infuriating. It directly affects people’s livelihood. I had them on eBay every auction block and have slightly less on pwcc.

I won’t post the link because I am unsure if it is allowed to post my own listing. I am interested to see how the Autographed Pokemon market is doing (I kept one of my prized ones from a certain someone on efour) I had a few autographed Aritas years ago of the TR set, welcome to any opinions. We had the discussion a few years back, obviously the market has changed a lot since then.
If it makes you feel better, I also had a couple of non-payers last block. It sucks because I don’t sell often.
I’m sure those nonpayers aren’t on E4

Thank you Scott, yeah I was definitely venting haha. It’s good to at least to hear that it happens less on PWCC. Do you think it also makes a difference with the increase in ebay fees? I know it may not necessarily be new but I haven’t sold on Ebay in a while until recently.
Thankfully my unlucky streak of non payers has dried up (for now) but the pain is real. @smpratte will there be an after sales PWCC buy thread potentially? Unless it has been made and I’m unaware.

Last 3 fixed sales has been non paying, why not put payment when buy
I like binding offers like eBay has been implementing.
Are Lot 90’s flash inserted items not currently visible for anyone else even though the block is live.
It’s a step up for sure but even that isn’t infallible if people are using expired card/purposely wrong address etc. But yeah I’ve always found it really dumb that the big auction houses allow 7-14 days for payment on something. Just why??
