EBAY customers are RACIST!! Whites earn more than blacks selling baseball cards........
Ian Ayres and Christine Jolls of Yale Law School and Mahzarin Banaji of Harvard looked at how the race of the seller affected 394 auctions of baseball cards on eBay.

Some of the postings were accompanied by a photo of the card held by a light-skinned hand, and some with the card held by a dark-skinned hand, as in the photos above. The study shows that the cards held by an African-American hand sold for around 20 percent less than the cards held by Caucasian sellers.

I do this both on ebay and other site I use. Spooks end up being a problem most of the time.

The player in the card has no bearing huh?

This might be a valid experiment if they had used the same cards for both sellers.

Re: EBAY customers are RACIST!! Whites earn more than blacks selling baseball cards........
So, what are we supposed to do with this information? Are eBay buyers supposed to bid 20% more on stuff when they see a black person selling something? Does eBay need to add an affirmative action fee for its black sellers? Hey, if blacks can't negotiate on eBay better than they currently do, might I suggest they read The Art of the Deal and learn a thing or two?

Oh...I'm sure it'll be used as one more piece of evidence of white privilege to keep pushing the wet guilt agenda.

It'll be discussed on Oprah next week. And I'm sure Barry will link the article on his Facebook page and invite the "researchers" over to the White House.

It's usually 50% less if stolen but in this case, we give them the benefit of the doubt.
