Yeah, I don't do many shows anymore, but when I used to, I'm sure I used the phrase "I've got more then that into that" along with a noticeable smirk on my face, more then once, to a low baller who was cruising by my table and throwing out a fishing line at me. I was almost always willing to negotiate, but if you insult me right off the bat, I figure using that line is much more polite then just telling them to "go eat sh*t".

I love when the dealer says, "Let me see what I have into it " Then, I say in a nice way, "I don't care what the hell you have into it." Funny as hell.beer chug.gifbeer chug.gifbeer chug.gif

People are always so aggro when this topic comes up on here. I'm sure there are some situations where the value of a card is obvious, but most of the time that I say "I have X into it" or a friend says it, the value is uncertain. A lot of the cards I buy I buy from friends. If we are talking about a card and I say, Would $800 work?", and they say, "No, I have $1000 into it." that is just good info for me. I don't want to ask a friend to lose money on a card, so I either just quit trying to get it, or I sometimes think it over and decide I want it bad enough to up my offer.
And the times that I've said the same, it's because I have a pretty good idea that I can sell it for the price I paid or more. I've told people who make me an offer, "Sorry I paid more for it." many times as a nice way to say they are not in the right neighborhood, and then sold the card for the price I wanted to get for it many, many times.

From a business perspective it just doesn’t make sense to hold a non performing asset. You can take that money and put it into something that you will get a greater return possibly multiple times over before selling the card at the price to break even.

I've done some "I paid X, I can't sell for less" deals. It's not logical for commonplace items, but sometimes it's the only data point there is to try and value an obscure or rare item. In those cases, I don't mind the seller doing that because we're both essentially guessing what the card might be worth. Sometimes I'm just grateful they are willing to let it go at all. When I hear that for a T206 or Goudey or Topps card, I move on.
