For what it's worth.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Pretty good advice.

Yup. Could be used in a lot of recent threads.

I just had a similar experience. A person my Dad works with Father died recently at the age of 97, he had thousands upon thousands of cards. She doesn't know anything about them so she sent a few off to be graded. She had some decent items, bunch of T206's (commons) that were graded between 2's and 3's, a 68 Mantle, and a Ryan Rookie (only graded a 3) I bought 5 t206 cards from her all Beckett graded 3's for $30 each, gave her $125 for the Ryan, and $140 for the Mantle becket graded a 6, she has a ton of other stuff so I am going to buy most of what she has. I probably spent close to what they are worth but didn't want to rip the lady off since she does work with my Dad

This is a funny thread: a discussion about how we would treat an ignorant stranger when it comes to valuing their collection they wish to sell. But half the time when we try to sell cards to other collectors out here, we're given offers that are less than 1/2 of what the card is actually worth -- and the sellers aren't ignorant.

I think it's interesting but within the hobby with those that know what's going on it's to be expected to negotiate prices.

Agreed...also regarding the lenox/ebay debacle. People are funny!
