I wonder how Bruce Dorskind would reply to this thread?

Hi

I do not mind if it is listed or not

I have done it both ways.

When I have cards that have Comps that I can compare and no the market value I price them.

However, it gets difficult when the card I have is rare and it does not come up often enough to have a comp then I do put taking offers.

I do not mind if someone does not send an offer, I do not mind if someone passes it up.

But Understand (But you do not have to like or agree)

I am trying to maximize my money when I am selling something and I do not want to short change my potential sale and I do not want to take a loss so by taking offers I see what people are willing to pay and if it is a number I like I accept it, if it is a number I do not like then I respectfully pass.

If someone emails me and says what is my price range or what I am asking I repsectully explain myself or if I have gotten offers I may advise them so they can decide how they want or not want to proceed

Whilst you were replying to this thread, we added several exceedingly rare examples of pre-war material to our collection.

For what it's worth, I hate it when sellers post the sales price, but not the item for sale. But at least I know what it's going to set me back...

Cheers,
Geno

Just more filler to divert us from the stark reality that our days are numbered and no one has any idea what this is all about.

The truth is, for the rest of our obsessive, nostalgic, wretched lives, we�ll always be missing that one holy grail. Inevitably, irrevocably; a complete collection? No such thing.

Truth!

Pretty much spot on. Bravo! He was always good for some entertainment. He knew something about the stuff, but he did not have a good delivery, to put it mildly.
I will always remember him for the Boston Garter panel and threatening to sue himself.

Back to topic, I reiterate my preference for prices and pictures when listing things for sale....

What's funny is that I read Leon's post and figured it had to be about Bruce. Then I went back to post $73 and sure enough. It's kind of strange how we continue to remember some of these collecting characters.

Just a thought. If someone doesn't want to put a price to something in the BST, then it's kind of for sale, but the person is waiting for an offer. It could always transform into the SOB or T (Sale, Offer, Buy, or Trade) section. If someone isn't going to put a price on something then have it go into a single bucket called the "O"ffer thread. This way people can have a column for cards that require an offer and nobody has to be annoyed with reading a Sale post without a price. Or, it can just stay the BST and we can have threads like this.

An SOB section? I like it.
