Not sure I understand about what an offer outside of Best Offer means though? Last edited by toppcat; 05-08-2020 at 11:00 AM. |

I meant that instead of the listing having the option to make a best offer, when you write a seller a general message to discuss a possible offer instead (and then they send you an initial offer on their own) |

Ah, got it. I doubt Watchcount can track that unless you agree the final deal you worked out back on the 'bay proper. Watchcount is very useful though for gauging how much of an offer to make. It's saved me a ton over the years.

First, thanks to Ted and Cesar here for helping (mostly) finish off my missing low numbers.
Overall update coming very soon once my last recent order gets here. Tonight, I came very close to a last minute auction bid on a great looking PSA 1.5 Mantle. But did not pull the trigger. It went for $17,300. While I would've been satisfied with having that one for my set, it's just not exactly what I picture for it anymore. As this set has filled in, the overall outlook has changed a little. And for a once in a lifetime purchase, it has to fit just right. The only problem with waiting is (obviously) prices going even higher. But if that happens and it affects what I can get down the road, then so be it. Always been a risk-taker anyway! |

The low number set is now complete! Pending the last seven commons/minors that will be here in the next couple days. Close enough to count New pics coming after those remaining few are in hand.
Got a nice looking PSA 2.5 Pafko to start out the set. Also picked up Mathews and Jackie Robinson (as shown prior) and a few other new high numbers. Still need 73 high numbers, including Mantle, Campanella, Reese, Dickey, Wilhelm, and Bartirome. Going to make a small adjustment up in the calculated resale value from some price appreciation that's occurred lately. Final low number avg condition: Big cards: 4.0 Commons/minors: 2.6 Total low # cost: $4480 Current high # avg condition: Big cards: 3.0 Commons/minors: 2.8 High number cost: $6800 Overall recap: Total cost: $11,280 Total resale value: estimated $15,000 - $16,000 334/407 |
