50 shades of selling...

Jake, are you a potential buyer? Because if you are, you aren't going about it the right way. If you are not, then you are spouting more nonsense.

Rob, I completely get the difficulty in selling a card like this. I have a couple of items that I might eventually sell, and I have a price that I 'think' I would take for them. The problem for most people is that they can't come up with such a price, and even if they can, they are then stopped by thinking they might be able to get more. The problem is, they don't know what that 'might get' number is. Thus they spin their wheels and wait for an epiphany. In such cases, all you can do is find a good auction house and get them to agree on a reasonable reserve. You can also try to advertise the item for free all over the internet in advance - contrary to the opinions of others, I don't think that will hurt your auction price when you decide to sell it, as it's 99% likely that no one in this thread will actually be bidding on it.

not sure how its nonsense..he said he is going to consign it..just like many people do on B/S/T who actually consign yet he does not........i simply pointed out that he may be bluffing about sending it to a consignment place...and he did lower the price ( from a price he said he needed or he would send to a consignment) from the beginning so apparently my point was valid and not nonsense...

not sure how i am to blame this time for the comment made and why you would single me out on this thread as to wasting peoples time...i think my 2 or 3 posts are the least of everyone's worries on this thread......plus my 50 shades of selling comment was more entertaining and not disparaging....not sure how your comment on my comments was useful or entertaining.....and yes im a potential buyer when/if he lists it for auction...cause like you said he isnt going to sell it here if everyone thinks he wants more than market price..
