Who can slighty best these WHOLESALE PRICES?? ALL CARDS SOLD!

[bobbyw8469]

I have some cards packed up and ready to go to All Star Cards. Just wanted to see if anyone can slightly beat their prices to convince me to sell to you rather than ship it off to them....here are the cards and prices! Because these prices are very slightly above wholesale, I am asking for payment to be cash, check, money order, paypal gift/payment owed. All prices are delivered!

1960 Whitey Ford PSA 7. ASC is paying $42 - I am asking $SOLD

1957 Bill Mazeroski PSA 7 (Rookie). ASC is paying $85 - I am asking $SOLD!



1969 Roberto Clemente PSA 6. ASC is paying $25 - I am asking $SOLD!

1960 Sandy Koufax PSA 6. ASC is paying $50 - I am asking $SOLD

I'd like the Koufax for my 1960 set. Only need this and four more cards! PM sent!

These prices are already based upon wholesale prices. I need to make a little more than $2-$3 to make it worth my while. That being said, the prices need to be firm.

What happened to all these dealers who claim to pay the highest prices?

They are just like every car dealership that says they have the bottom, lowest price and they'll beat anyone else's price.

The prices that you are getting are pretty good, I don't think you are going to find a reseller to give you anymore. However, you may find a collector.

My 2 cents.

The price is not the issue here,In my opinion the listing should have been pulled as soon as there was an agreement to buy, ( it would avoided this situation) If a man tells me will pay tomorrow I will take him at his word, maybe Im just naive.

I've dealt with Craig in the past on jsut a couple of transactions, and I think on all of them, the agreement was he'd pay the next day; which I now know why. I didnt care why, an agreement was made and the card was 'his' UNLESS he broke our agreement (payment on next day, which he of course didnt). As the seller, I don't lose anything IF they don't pay. I would just put the card back up for sale and I'm no worse off.

The thing about a forum like this is that it is collectors working with other collectors. If there isn't any trust, then the forum is worthless.

Also, why not cancel the second transaction? It's pretty easy to do so on eBay, if it was indeed a mistake. That buyer surely will be pretty upset too, but at least you would have stayed true to your first agreement.

A man who cannot be trusted is not much. If you can believe his words and he lives up to them, he is a good man. If someone scams you or lies to you, or promises you something and never comes through, he's not much of a man.

My 2 cents.

Just to clarify, my transactions with Steve were very successful and no agreement was broken between he and myself. I believe Steve means to say that IF I didn't pay by the agreed timeframe, he would place the card back on the market.

I don't see it as shady. It is an honest mistake and these things do happen time to time.

On another board, I had someone inquire about an item that I no longer had, but would be receiving more within a week or so. This person was willing to wait a week for me to receive, send them pictures and agree on terms. We did just that and I sent them payment information, only to not receive payment or a response. Basically even though we agreed on the sale, I jeopardized possible sales not having it listed. Would I sell to this person if they inquired again? Absolutely. They ended up responding and their explanation is totally understandable, just as the one with the OP.

I'm trying to locate the Koufax on eBay's completed auction search results but can't seem to find it. I know eBay's searches can be tough at times. If anyone can find this card, please let me know as I'm curious to see the details.

Thank you --

It appears to have been sold for a best offer of $100 on 5/21!

Nor do I. It's unfortunate, call it even absent minded (heck, I'm guilty of that too), but shady? I can see it if he agreed to the price then accepted a higher offer, but he simply forgot to remove the card from eBay.

I've seen dealers make this mistake many times. It happens a lot more than you think. The dealer sells a card at a show that they also have for sale on eBay, but then forget to cancel the auction and someone else buys it on eBay. Again, nothing shady, just a mistake.

I did word my PM to Craig this morning very poorly. I wasn't quite awake yet, and didn't phrase it as carefully as I should have. Being a true wordsmith has never been one of my strong suits. With that Craig, I am sorry. It was never my intention to incoveniece you in any, way shape or form. I do hope you accept my apology.

Yes....I made a mistake. In the past, I have jacked the price up so high, around 707 level, that no one would want the card (unless you are a 707 customer). I forgot to do that in this instance, and the card was purchased last night. My ebay sales have been so slow, that I can't even give away cards on there, so it just escaped my mind to do that.
