People who want to blather on about their difficulty in figuring out what market value is, despite all the pricing resources at their fingertips -- don't make me offers; we both know you're not getting the card.

This is a BST thread and not your shrink's couch. Do not post on my threads here any more.

leon when a guy is making stuff up or implying i wasnt fair on an offer for all to see, (and i dont know what card he is referring too) i believe i should know what hes referring. Hes also calling me an idiot and i made no name calling to him...and had zero attacks on him on this thread... i get that the issue of making too many comments on b/s/t thread here like many others on this thread and I was was not going to post anything more..but he's singling me out and calling me an idiot...


a little research and i figured out what calvin is referring too

it was a psa 7 rooke Jackie robinson leaf card.....no price listed....i had the audacity to offer 10,000 dollars cash as a first offer....and ZERO counter. or any response until now on net54.. so he insults me? If you listed the card for $20,000.00 i wouldnt of made you an offer of $10,000.00 cash. I do think $20,000 would of be deemed by many to be more than market price. I learned you had turned down $14,000 as well. So was $14,000 also a low ball offer since you got $20,000? To get $10,000 net in an auction you need to get $12,000 or so. There are advantages to cash as well. I really dont think its fair to call me an idiot on net54 when you didnt even respond to my offer. Especially since ZERO price was listed.

Like i said if you are looking for a record high, you may just want to post what you want instead of calling people idiots that make offers that are not considered lowball except to you. The last psa 7 sold for about 14k i believe. I made one offer with no response Again if you list the card for $20,000 i realize you want a sky high price and i dont make an offer. I dont believe there were any past sales of that card close to 20k. You sold the card for a ton, congrats..no need to imply i lowballed and call me an idiot

im sure some people will say here that my offer was terrible and i would ask them if they always offered the most they can offer with their first offer, and i also think there will be people that say my offer wasnt a lowball offer. I would submit that there will be at least a difference of opinion. If the people that criticize my offer believe the card was 'worth 15k', dont you think a 10k offer would of at least warranted a counter offer versus calling me an idiot? Thats all im saying. Heck you should see some of the offers i have gotten on my listings compared to what they sold for at an auction. I not go around and call people out saying that their offers were 2x less than what i sold the card for at auction (which is more reflective of a market price than one private buyer that blows away any prior sell price)


I believe this proves my point i was making on the thread..i not even realize he was the seller on the jackie..i was talking generally.... guess its my big loss i cant get your cards as the prices you want..
