He also has two filmcards listed at $75 and $100.  Someone asked him what was special about the $75 filmcard, and the seller responded that the NSU price guide lists the card at $135. Roll Eyes

It costs quite a bit to list items with high opening bids -- he really should have looked through completed items on eBay or the price guide here before setting his prices.

I just couldn't believe that. I know the NSU price guide can be a little way out (at least in comparison to ebay or prices at shows etc.) but I had to check it out. NSU list a full set of all 9 cards as $135 which makes a little more sense

Do the sets sell for that much?  I've seen quite a few that don't get any bids for $99.  He must have read the NSU price guide incorrectly.  Unless he finds a very gullible newbie, his cards won't sell.

That's why I like our price guide much better.  At least it's accurate!

I think the seller also misread about the Harry robe, mistaking a POAU retail costume with the rare POA hobby costume.

I almost feel bad for this seller, as he will be paying lots of listing fees for nothing.

I was thinking the same thing, but how do you tell someone something like that?  I mean, more power to him if he sells them for that price, but if he doesn't, it would be nice to have something to go by other than the NSU prices.  $300 for a retail costume!!!!

I am suddenly even more confused.  He has the retail card at $300, the two filmcells at $75 and $100 (which are numbered less than the retail costume).  But then he has Draco's scarf at $20 starting bid, and this:

Why would the other be so high if these have good starting bids Huh

True you would have to be gentle. I've got that card and I certainly didn't pay that much for it. Maybe say you think the price is a little high, but also point out you aren't trying to get it down so you can buy it. But maybe to come and have a look at the price guide which has all the ebay auctions added in to give the expected prices. But good luck to him if he sells it for that much.

If we told him to come here, he would have to sign up and join to view the priceguide (nothing wrong with that), but we wouldn't want him to think we were purposely writing to him to get him to join..you know?  I guess maybe we should just leave it alone.  After all, some of his auctions have good starting prices, so I think he is just trying to get lucky with some.

It won't surprise anyone, but none of the seller's cards received a bid.  He relisted the filmcards with opening bids $36 and $75. Roll Eyes

Funny how the good card went for $75.00, his Cleese autograph. And with only one bid.
