Default How do you handle a low ball offer?

Posted By: Jim Clarke

Jeff, funny you said that! I actually e-mailed him a couple of times to see if he was for real. Turns out he is registered on PSA. Plus I asked him if he knew Harry Wright was a HOFer and he then offered a LOW grade (common) HOFer in the deal and backed out a common. He kept e-mailing me and then I asked him if he thought it was a fair trade (to see his come back). He was selling me on how it was fair for both of us.

Joann, I did not know him from here and it was "one" of those days.

Rich, I think you hit the nail right on the head! The problem is I figured out he knew what he was doing so that upset me a little. I get the same feeling when I see Mr. Mint work the old timers at the front door.

Mike,

Low offers are fine. The problem is I did not go out an advertise my stuff. I just wanted to maybe buy a card. He later found out about my site. When at the flea market you would expect to make a "steal" but when dealing on a card forum where there are regulars and login names you would not expect such a lowball "trade".

Actually I should have just said No Thank You the first time but my curiosity just killed me on this guy. I had to see if he was for reel? I was not offended one bit.. Amused a little. I have been out of cards for a little bit and had to make sure the market did not crash like back in the 30's...
