Here's a good laugh...
 
Check out this thread on the PSA boards. To make a long story short, apparently the guy didn't like the "lowball" offers that he received on his cards ('68 Mantle, '70 Munson rookie, etc) on the B/S/T board, so he posted a Youtube video of himself shredding them. The funny thing is that he must have use a photocopy of the cards, because you can see a white outline around the border on the back of the cards. It's worth a few minutes of your time if you're bored and want a good laugh.

Here's a link to his thread with the cards for sale.

David, that's funny. I have had a few experiences where folks get offended when you make offers for less than what they are asking, I personally don't get offended and will counteroffer if I feel I need to. Some folks just ignore you and will not respond. I always get back to them and explain why I can't take their offer. You never know one day the show may be on the other foot. Thanks. Dennis.

Sometimes however, you do get lowball offers that are almost offensive. I recently had a PSA/DNA authenticated item up on eBay for what I thought was a very fair price (and it ended up selling for almost my BIN price (3% lower)).

Well, I received an offer from en eBay member that was less than the selling price of a similar item in a recent Coaches auction that was authenticated by Morales - no kidding - the offer was that low.

When I politely declined, albeit feeling offended, the potential purchaser then tried to educate me on values. Oh well!

Jon, you should give him the link to Coaches Corner and told him he find great deals there.

Jeff - you're right! nd I agree, i should have provided the link - but at that point, I figured I had already wasted 5 minutes of my life I was never getting back!

Once saw a guy tear up a card rather than sell it for less, couldn't believe it :)

my wife "lowballed" a guy on his house price. Fully expecting a counter offer. He burst into tears and took the house off the market! shame as we would have paid fair market value for it.
