Am I missing something here?????

And hear I was thinking I was pointing out a card clearly not worth the money and I get ridiculed for perhaps being confrontational or IMHO telling the truth.

Then why did the card sell? The seller had his card priced appropriately to sell for a price acceptable to him. I don't understand the point of this thread. It would be one thing if the card had been listed for a long time and was unsold. However, that is not the case. You are complaining because the owner chose to sell the card to someone else instead of taking your lower offer when there are plenty of other options for you to buy the same card. Am I missing something here?

Thats way too much . BIN means Buy It Never . The $25 approach is as wrong as the $ 150 price .

In Josh's defense, that card has been re-listing for a long time. Can't really understand how someone could have bought it for that price and with such convenient timing, but who knows? I've definitely been guilty of pricing things too high and sitting on them for a long time. I'm sure the seller has his reasons for his pricing strategy.

It's not a 25 dollar card. I would have probably paid 75 for it, so yea. You basically admitted you made him a low ball offer with no intention of buying? I wouldn't say 45 days is a long time. There are some cards on Ebay that have been there at the same ridiculous price for 6 years.

What sort of reaction are you looking for here? Hi fives?

One guy tries to shame another guys perceived high ball price by making a ridiculous low ball offer. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Offer a fair price and add a note that that's what you think the card is worth and you are not prepared to go any higher. I've offered $500 VCP value cards on eBay and put up with $105 offers with some idiotic comment attached about how generous the offer is. Lots of time wasting to go around.

Sometimes my opinion has been wrong. It happens.

It's the card " . . .clearly not worth the money" part that falls flat. Clearly it was worth the money to at least one person.

I just bought something from Huggins and Scott that I am sure many people on the board would laugh at and say "what the hell was that guy possibly thinking . . ." But I wanted it and was willing to pay a premium over "what it is worth."

Yeah I have to agree. I never understood people saying "The offer was insulting" when the offer is just a number. However, comments that come with the offer can indeed be insulting, and I feel this crossed that line. Like I said earlier it would've resulted in being blocked from my listings.
