Default If you found vintage cards at a garage sale

Posted By: pat

my 2 cents regarding the garage sale pickup is this:

in general, i try to treat people as i would want them to treat my elderly parents. so if i found a large $ value in cards at a garage sale i would secure the cards by paying their asking price and mention to them that i plan on selling them and when i do if they were worth alot more than their asking price i would chop it with them. in essence i would be looking at it as a consignment considering the dirt cheap initial sale price. this would be under the assumption that the since the sale is at a gagage sale, they arent dealers, who should know better. this isnt against dealers, as i am one. if i sell something dirt cheap by accident, thats my own fault. always keep in mind, "After all is said and done, all we have is our character"!
