Everyone sells to people who have the means to pay for what they want. The fact that you're constantly calling buyers cheapskates and acting like you have material that is too good for some of us is why I'm not your kind of customer. Not because I can't afford your inventory, but because of your attitude.

Keep your powder dry buddy. Nobody's taking shots here. If you don't have the means to pay higher priced dealers like Levi, there are plenty of other sellers to buy from. Levi doesn't care. I am just making my point that I have a profitable method of dealing with people who look for bargains all the time (cheapskates). These buyers from big feebay auction sellers hurt values for small and mid-size dealers that's all. The days of buying common vintage PSA 8's for 20 bucks are fading fast. Prices for common vintage PSA 8's are approaching $ 40-50 each as they should. I love these guys who quote you "SMR book values" and think your gonna bite on it. BIN's are the way to go.

See, there it is again. I guess all us board members who look for bargains (I would think that's a pretty big population) are all cheapskates. Nice way to make friends on the board. But let me guess, you're not here to make friends, just troll the board.

I never said I didn't have the means to buy from Levi, I said I never would buy from him. It's a principle thing, not a financial status thing.

Some of you guys are so sensitive ....my God. I am trying to be real here and I guess it's not going over too well for some of you. Now I could take what you said and yell for Leon that you called me a troll but I'm a big boy, I can take it. Maybe I hit a nerve.... no harm intended but I am not backing off from what I've been saying.

Leon, am I in trouble for calling him out as a troll since all of his posts are in this thread pissing people off and being a troll? If so I apologize.

FWIW; Price your stuff fairly and it will move. I have plenty above vcp and plenty below. Most sellers, probably know where they need to be on any particular card. Some I have held my ground, because I know I am priced fairly, and I choose not to give them away at below market value. Others, I give away, because their is ton of supply in the marketplace.

It comes to basic economics; supply and demand. Not that I am defending him or need to but, Levi, doesn't have to move his price he has plenty of people who are willing to pay it. However, if you follow his listings you will see he accepts a lot of BO.

This whole rant is about selling 20.00 cards for 40.00? Lol. Seems like a poor business model. I thought you were talking about high grade Ruths or Mantles or Hof RCs. I would be happy that someone would be willing to take those cards off my hands so I could put my money into high demand cards. That is a dying market. Millenials don't care about Sibby Sisti or Bow Wow Arft. You are correct though, I am not your customer. I don't care about commons, only cards that will appreciate in value in the future.

I do just fine.
