I just found a card that peaked my interest on ebay the other night. It was a card graded by SGC. Well, being that I hadn't looked at a whole lot from this set in awhile, I looked at the BV of the card in the assigned grade as well as ended auctions/BIN that I found on VCP (which I just signed up for and love it!).

Well, being that I believe the sale prices are more accurate than the BV (about $170 more than BV), I shot a best offer over as he had the option up. NOW, I did keep the price right around the other ended prices which was a lot less than he was offering. He was asking for just about $300 more than the other ended prices and as it turned out, he wouldn't go any more than $50 off of his original asking price.

I let it get to me a little bit as I believe people like this are helping to kill ebay. I shot him a message telling him that I wished him luck selling his cards at the outrageous prices he was asking. I got a response of "Someone always comes along and pays my price. I don't need to sell these cards and will keep them up there for 10 years if I want to."

Great mentality.
