How to Find Steals on eBaY# 2: Brian Andersons (BA’s)

I’ve come across another steal on eBaY. This time I was able to snag them up before another bidder did. (Mind you this 5 Day Auction only had 2 Bidders.)
This past week I was able to dig up a pair of Deadstock BA’s from eBaY. Yet again, similar to My First Post, the seller listed this specific pair of SBs incorrectly. There were errors in both, the ‘Item Search Name’ and ‘Size in the description’ from the seller.

When shoe collectors and sneaker heads hunt for SBs on eBaY they usually search by using keywords from the Edition Name from that exact pair. For Ex: If I were to look for a pair of BA’s in my size or for other sizes I’d search both, broad, by using keywords such as “Nike Dunk SB 11,” which would result in finding mostly all SB size 11 listings on eBaY, and/or by narrowing it down using keywords such as “Nike Brian Anderson” or “Nike Dunk SB Brian Anderson.” Each search method will help significantly when seeking a specific pair. But how did I find a pair of BA’s that easily averages between $180-$220 Deadstock FOR ONLY $92.00 w/ Shipping Included?

eBaY Auction Final Sale Price:


1.Sellers Error: It came down to the Sellers Item Name: The seller incorrectly listed this pair by not only stating they were Nike SBs but by not stating its Edition “Brian Anderson.” As a buyer, these errors, give you the advantage, as stated in Post #1, which lowers the market price by almost 50%.

Item Title:


Correct Method: The correct way to List a Pair of BA’s is as follows:
“Nike Dunk High Pro SB Brain Anderson Size 11” – This would have easily appeared in most, if not all, the search listings when being sought out for. (these is a key tip when selling: Using the Correct Item Name.

2.Feedback and Guarantee: As an experienced eBaY user, I confidently bid on this pair because of the Users Feedback and 100% Guarantee in the Listing. Key factors in making my decision.

Feedback:


3.Pictures provided by the Seller: Using NSB.org’s LEGIT CHECK FORUM I knew that this pair of BA’s were Authentic Nike SBs. It is all about ones knowledge and the Sources one uses in the sneaker Community. (Take advantage of the available Sources out there.)

Knowing that there are sellers out there who list items incorrectly, I searched using keywords “Nike Dunk”; yet broad, it allowed me to find eBaY Listings such as the one from above. (Having extra $ in-hand is essential when hunting down steals!)
