Sellers Statements that really Irk Me

[Archive]

I found this auction and since the seller was new, I thought I would point out the true value of the card he is selling. Heres my e-mail, item and his reply.

When I first saw this auction, I was very interested as I would like to add this card to my collection. After I read your discription I could not let this go. You stated "Book on this awesome card is over $1500 in this condition." I'm sorry book on this card in this GRADED condition is $192. Figuring a 10% increase of late does not come close to the $1500 figure. I would love to own this card but if your reserve is over this #, I doubt any knowledgable vintage collector will be owning it. Regards Joe

Dear Mr. Know it All. Man does not live by Lemke alone. Not the entire world lives by the same grading book you do!!! Beckett says that this card is worth this much, if you don't beleive me, check it out for yourself,if if won't make you feel you are lowering yourself or your standards by opening up a Beckett Grading Almanac or even Becketts smaller book. Regards right back to you.

Nice way to treat a potential customer.

After re reading my e-mail maybe I came across in a condesending way. I was just pointing out the differences in an ex+ price and a fair price. Was I way out of line?
BTW I did check out Beckett and $1500 is for a exmt example.
