Dear Tony:
I did not respond initially to you after one day. I was away for the day.
I responded when I returned home. Whilst I appreciated your unsolicited
offer I thought your price of $3450 for a non-HOF E-92 was too high.
I am not trying to "steal anything "and assume you are not interested
in Highway Robbery. It seems odd that if someone offers a price
on the Board and someone makes a lower counter offer and a deal
is not consumated that the conclusion is someone is "trolling." In this
particular case, I did not believe that I could make you a counter offer
which would be acceptable, so I did not do so.
I have sold a number of duplicate cards on the Board and there are
number of cards that I offered where the counter-offer was too low.
My expectation is that when you offer a card at a fixed price, there is
a reasonable chance that someone will make you a counter-offer
at a lower price. Sometimes that results in a transaction and sometimes
it does not.
To assume in a market that is very thin and not liquid with very few
transactions on a particular card in a particular grade, that anyone who
turns the seller down is being unreasonable or attempting to steal a
card is not appropriate.
One need look no further than E-Bay or recent results from Mastro Auctions
to see signficant price variance (both up and down) on a number of different
high grade E, T and R cards.
Thanks again for offering me the card. Good luck in selling it at your price.
