Obviously he thinks its worth considerably more than the price he bought it for. I think you do too. You wanted to flip it for profit, didn't you?

That's what I thought.
How did you jump to THAT conclusion?
It wasn't from the "that's how smart buyers lose money in the future, just like in the stock market" statement in the PM, was it?

Since most collectors & dealers have made their comments already, I just want to be brief here. I've been a dealer for over 30 years. The object here is to try to get a bargain on what you purchase, which is not easy. You make money by buying, not selling. Selling is easy if you buy right. Yes, a buyer can ask what they want for any card, just don't buy the card. Some dealers get involved with auction houses. By the time they pay the juice, they have given their profit to the auction house. When they try to resell the card, they asking the moon for the card & there stuck with the card. There only alternative is to send the card back to another auction house. If you think this is bad now, wait till after 5/1 when e-bay makes their changes. Most cards will be sold as BIN & the asking prices will be much higher than they are now.
