I got an email from a guy about some cards and he was wanting 60% of book. I explained that I would pay fair market and so on. He sent back a response that got me scratching my head. I have not seen or heard about this. Have any of you
Sorry, but I can't give the cards away. I would love to give you my cards but I can't do to the amount of money that I have Invested over the years. I deal in world wide auctions importing 95% of my cards and importing these cards costs, eg: duty, import tax, air post and insurance. Catalogues are used world wide to give a general ideal of approximate value of clean first class collectable cards. Selling cards at 60% of the catalogue price is very fair to most collectors as they generally pay 80% cat value with all said and done. The reason I am selling my cards off at 60% at present as this is what I have invested in them or let's say try to break even. I truly understand the world economic conditions and so some people at present may sell a Tiffany lamp for $20,000 instead of $60,000.
I do know also how commodities etc. are low at present but an Interesting fact is the "PSA doctored Wagner card recently sold for $2.8 million in Australia.
Oh just incase the guy did not have a Wagner he actually had a beater T202 and 2 silks

The rest was Tobaccocania stuff of not intrest to me.
