Ok, point made but also expect when people tell you they paid “X” amount for a card that’s there way of saying not for sale at your current offer price regardless if you think it’s the right price or not.

Some people want too never lose money. That doesn’t make them wrong for asking the price they paid, and doesn’t make you wrong for saying no thanks.

Also my biggest peeve after 20yrs in the hobby is the phrase…”cards are a lot like the stock market” cards are nothing like the stock market. I very rarely get to negotiate the price of Google or any other stocks I would invest in. True they have tangible worth but in the majority of the worlds eyes 100k worth of IBM stock is worth more than a 100k worth of baseball cards. Besides I seem to remember the stock market being regulated by an industry of some sort…obviously our little hobby is not.

The end.
