It's always nice to open a B/S/T listing only to be insulted.

not an insult...how many 1952 Topps cards over $1500 you see listed here that are sold...thanks for trolling the thread..ill make sure to do the same with you..


but since you are so offended I will remove the part......I do have a history of listing cards for sale on net54 at very reasonable prices ..not sure why you want to insult someone that lists cards like green cobbs, rookie mays and banks....the world is made up of more people than you man....ie. how many post war cards over $1500 have you listed on net54?

Yes, it is an insult to assume that it's above most people's budget. The fact that there aren't many cards listed here over $1500 is irrelevant to your point.

I didn't insult you.

Picture this. You and your wife go to the mattress store to pick out a new mattress set. You're greeted at the door by a salesman and, as he's showing you around he says, "This mattress is our best seller. It's normally priced at $4999, but we've got it on sale for $3999. I know this mattress is above your budget, but maybe you know someone" and then he proceeds to take you to the $200 mattress. Is that not insulting?

yes you did insult me ...no reason to make negative comments on a b/s/t thread like you did....if my post is so bad let me just live with it and have no chance to sell it......

its not irrelevant to point out that you and many people on here don't list many cards for $1500....that's because there is not a big push budget wise for postwar cards here on net54...people may have a budget for $30,000 for a Cy young prewar but they don't have the budget for the post war..

your analogy with the matress is beyond ridiculous......cards are bought and sold on the internet in the thousands and thousands of dollars versus mattresses...I have never gone to a mattress store thinking of a friend wanting a mattress...I don't know of 20 people right now looking for a mattress but I do know 10 or so people looking for certain 1952 Topps cards......plus I am not talking to a direct person like your example with the mattress...its a general post realizing I may not find anyone but worth a try because they may know someone.. If there was a sign at the mattress store saying 'super mattress, $9,000 dollars, above budget for most but if you know someone ' that doesn't offend me in the leeeast...plus maybe theres a finder fee......the mattress analogy is terrible...and im up for a good analogy...

people post all the time on net54 about selling items for a 'friend'. or relative...people also look for items for friend and relatives on net54.....

plus its not like I put a card for $20.00 like one of yours and said, if cant buy the $1500 card I have a $20.00 card for you....why you add that nonsense to your analogy..(saying I dont thave a $5000 matress but directing you to a $200 mattress )...I never said anything like that in the post.......I listed one card that's it.....

I have seen auction houses say that an item is probably over budget for many in not so many words.....in fact auctions are the main business of baseball cards...always a factor in a private sale is what it goes for auction.....yeah that happens with mattresses too.iil look for them in the next pwcc auction .....budget in what you are targeting is everything in a hobby.......didn't know mattresses were a hobby... maybe for don juan..

Well then you pick the analogy. But in the analogy, there has to be somebody selling something and the seller tells any potential buyer, "This is probably above your budget...".

If a salesman told you that, Jake, wouldn't you be offended in any circumstance?

My 2 cents just for fun - insulting only if you can't afford it - laughable if you can.

apparently noone could afford it....maybe this card will add to the list of the PSA 4 T206 cobbs i tried to sell for about $4k,. psa 6 1952 Mays RC Topps for mid 2k, 1954 RC Banks Topps psa 7.5 for 3500 or so and other cards....

now its the basgals turn perhaps.....heck i would buy a mattress for 2200 if could sell it for 3000 a few months later.......

What if there is a "pricing error" where every mattress is priced accordingly, but a few get listed at your "buy" price?

[begsu1013]

so "pm sent" does not imply that my plush mattress has been shipped yet?
