I stick to my original that anything over $200 you probably spent too much
Without knowing the amount of High #'s it's hard for me to say. For 70 Low Numbers I could see me discounting to $200.

The flip side is when I guy comes to your table and wants all 165 of your 1952 Topps commons and minor stars. You quote him $1200 (the low numbers avg VG the rest avg EX) thinking you hate to go that low but it's a good sale overall and there's a little profit in it and the guy comes back with "I was thinking $800" If you want to buy wholesale maybe you should invest in a booth at the show like I have to! This happened at Philly this weekend.
