A conversation with a couple veteran dealers at a card show

I think there's a major difference though: Walmart isn't an individual.

Well if i was looking to buy a used card from an individual who wanted $5000 and i thought $4000 was fair and i needed this car to go to work and i saw it listed for $3500 a month later, i would want it. (even if there was a lot of disputing about whether $5000 or $4000 was closer to a fair price earlier and i was accused of lowballing at $4000) I would be happy to pay the $3500

I agree with that but to me that's not an apt comparison since baseball cards aren't necessary.

Opinions vary greatly on if they are necessary or not.
