Hobby terms that annoy you

Buyers will message this and only this "How low can you go"

Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic.

And I use the word anyhow.

From my 'The New Directory of Collectorisms...' thread:

22. Copy-triter
Someone who, instead of speaking like a normal human being, constantly throws out overused, stale or ‘expected’ phrases such as “Thanks for sharing,” “Buy the card, not the slab,” “Collect whatever makes you happy,” etc.

See also: Iconoghast - a person who can’t seem to post something without using the word “iconic.”

When buyers ask whats the least you'll take, I answer whats the most you'll pay.

Specimen. Cards as medical samples.

That always reminds me of the car salesman tactic of asking "how much do you want to pay?" Last time I had to deal with that at a dealership my answer was "Nothing." Salesman was flabbergasted: "What do you mean?" I said: "I want the car for free. Can we do that?" Apparently not an option, but no one had ever answered it that way before for him, I guess.

Calling the SGC slab a tuxedo. I HATE that phrase. And calling modern base cards the paper version. Both go thru me like nails on a chalkboard.
