I get these questions very often. I will usually help a little unless it gets crazy. Recently I got a PM with a long list of regular type vintage cards. The person asked me if I could tell them a good price so he could buy them and make money. I said, well, actually no.....you need to get a VCP subscription and check out other sales to know that. I mean it was a freaking laundry list. I very much felt used on that one. I do answer most short questions...especially if it has to do with collecting instead of flipping. I think if you are flipping for money you sort of need to do your own homework (at least most times). Just my half cent but I absolutely am empathetic to this question posed. regards
I should note that I think this was almost the first (can't think of any others) time that I actually said "no". I am always eager to help folks as I have been helped a lot too....but sometimes too much is just too much
