Whether you buy spotscards for fun or profit, Ebay is the place to get them. Finding the player you want

or one particular card is easy. The challange is finding it for the price you want. Here are a few tips to help

you out. First, dont buy from the first seller that has what youre looking for. I gaurentee you unless its a

one of one there are many more of the same card listed on ebay. Nothing makes you feel worse than

paying $5.00 for a card one day then seeing it for $1.00 the next. Second, shipping cost, this varies as

much as the price of the cards. Always buy from sellers who combine shipping when buying more than

one item. Always figure shipping as part of your bid. Third, Always check feedback, ALWAYS. See

what other ebayers had to say about the seller youre about to trade with. Another persons misfortune

could be a blessing to you. Forth, Before you begin youre search decide what is the most youre willing

to pay for the card youre looking for. Then stick to it. If its a reasonable price beleive me its out there.

Which leads me to the last and most important tip of all. Be PATIENT, the trick is to just keep looking.

example: Say youre looking for a bowman chrome rookie of John and you see a bowman chrome rookie

of Jack listed. Click on it then click on the other items for sale link. If the seller had Jack you may be

suprised to see he also has John. Dont forget that every listing you see is usually only one of many items

the seller has up for auction. Try these links: Rookie cards,Game used,Refractors,Special cards,Jersey,

Insert cards,numbered cards,Vintage cards. You can also search by the players name or team they play

for. You can try the card company, even the year you want. I hope this helps. Just keep on looking cause

what you want is only a click away. See ya on Ebay
