Joe D.I've had successful 'first-time' deals of
10K - never dealt with person before this transaction, but knew of him from N54 (I wasn't worried one bit). Worked out splendidly.
$500?ish trade - first time trade with a fellow n54er I didn't really know at the time - probably one of my favorite transactions on N54 because of a friendship made.
The most I have been stuck for -
$250 - ish for a photo of the 1895 Brooklyn baseball team - eBay. Its a really nice photo - but the description lead me to believe it was much older than it is. When I shine the blacklight on it - it glows brightly (so that means after 1940s?). When I approached the seller about his deceiving listing - he seemed like a nice enough guy and I just let him off the hook. Although his listing intimated otherwise - he then told me the photo could have been produced anywhere up to 1950s / 60s and could have been earlier (saying the company that had exclusive rights to produce that image folded around then).
