Bill, this is not directed at you (I don't know you), but that line has been for years my surefire dickhead detector.
If I reasonably try to talk to a seller about a card, and I put forward some indication of what similar cards have sold for elsewhere in recent times, I expect to be treated with some respect and I expect a dialogue. All too often, I get this dickhead response inviting me to go buy it from someone else...and I gladly oblige every time. Not only on that item, but on every item in the future (ie. I never do any business with anyone who feeds me that stupid line).
Now, if someone wanted to have a discussion about how they felt certain price guides were not accurate, but they had some more accurate info on recent sales, I'd be very happy to discuss that. It is the dismissiveness of saying "go buy it from X" to a prospective customer that is utterly idiotic from a person who is actually trying to sell something.
Cheers,
Blair
