How much do you offer for a collection?

[FUBAR]

if i am buying large amounts and im looking to "offer" someone, if i get it for 40% of guide i am happy. I usually start at 25% and expect a counter offer. If he accepts, your golden. Some people just want it gone. Hopefully you have a gold mine but common sense tells me "old cards" to most people nowadays are 80s and 90s

Paul,

The real question, which hasn't been asked yet, is what types of toys and games did he have and how old were they? If you know how old the toys and games are, you can probably get a good idea of how old the cards might be.

If this guy is old and the toys and games are from when he was a child, then you might have something. Same goes if the toys are his children's.

Also, how much was he asking for his toys and games? He might know what they are worth and actively collected them and just picked cards up as they came along. In which case, he may or may not have any valuable cards.

Just my two cents.

Sadly, nothing to report. No response from Mr. Yard Sale.

Maybe Rob Lifson or Legendary got to him already.
