It never got that far because he stopped responding, but yes I would have included cash. His end was all about keeping the set, not about the grade or at least that wasn't the impression I got from him. I'll clarify by saying I did offer cash, but it never got to an amount because he stopped the conversation.

In the USA, people are allowed to own private property. He can refuse any offer for any reason without explaining anything.

You seem to think you have a better understanding of his collection, and what matters to him (just having the set complete with some cards in lower grade) than he himself does. You don't - he gets to collect as he chooses.

He said no thanks. That's his right, and he's not being unreasonable. If you want to obtain cards, it's a better plan to find people who want to sell, rather than complain because you can't pry a card out of someone's collection who doesn't want to trade/sell.

Lucky for you, we only got about halfway down page #2 before we gave up.
