I do have to wonder about the nature of the book depicted here, since the binding seems to indicate it reads right to left
There are only 250 serialized versions of each guild-leader, which come stamped with a number
Its also a good way to just kill your opponent when you have a board full of elves lying around
This works because: It drives engagement , buyers are more likely to bid when the starting price feels like a deal It creates competition , multiple $1 bids escalate quickly to market value (and sometimes beyond) It fills the room , low starting bids attract more viewers who might stay for other items It builds trust , buyers see youre confident enough in your inventory to let the market decide When the $1 start works best: You have 50+ concurrent viewers The card has broad appeal (popular Pokmon, high-grade, etc.) Your audience trusts your authenticity and grading When to use higher starting bids: You have fewer than 20 viewers (the math doesnt work with a small room) The card is niche (only a few collectors want it) The cards minimum acceptable price is $20+ and you cant afford to let it go for $5 Market Research Before Going Live Tools for pricing Pokmon cards: Pre-show pricing workflow: Pull your show inventory Check TCGPlayer market price for each card Cross-reference with eBay sold listings (last 30 days) Note the lowest price youd accept for each card Set starting bids accordingly (usually 10-30% of market for auctions) BIN (Buy It Now) Strategy BIN listings work well for: Graded cards where the price is well-established (PSA 10 Charizard = specific price) Sealed product at known market rates Commodity cards that always sell at a predictable price Price BIN items at 5-10% below TCGPlayer/eBay market , Whatnot buyers expect a slight discount for the platform
Both of these sidekicks have great keywords to keep the damage and cards flowing as well
It only takes a few days, and boomyour card is ready for bragging rights
