Greed is good (for me)

[Snapolit1]

So much griping about Probstein and Yelpg and others about their insane buy it now prices and . . . those dirty, greedy mfers . . . dead to me . . . all of them . . . and then I see cards listed on BST that are priced to move at thousands of dollars more than a similar card in basically the same condition just sold for weeks ago Heritage. Sigh. Whatever.

But they're all the best examples of the cards that anyone has ever seen. Even if they aren't.

Such cards are probably all worthy of the coveted purple sticker...

-- Cards in bizarro company slabs which weren't cracked out and sent to SGC or PSA not because they're trimmed, just because "you know how risky it is" or some other bullshit -- but the card isn't trimmed, the seller swears.

-- 8(OC) cards with comp sales prices of straight 8s in the listing.

-- "Need to move these right away due to family issues."

That being said, I don't think anyone is unaware that there are just as many scumbags on the BST as there are anywhere else cards are sold.

I'm apparently doing it wrong. Bought bulk lots, not individual cards, from the wrong auction house, not Heritage, and I'm trying to make dozens of dollars, not thousands.

Sorry, you can't qualify as a scumbag then.

I have no problem with capitalism -- why should anyone here? Make as much as you can. As long as you don't defraud, shade the truth, etc.

Do not, I repeat do not, try Larry Harris's approach of scamming hundreds? of collectors to make tens of dollars. I mean where is the ROI on that?

There are two jokers in every deck of playing cards. There are sellers on the BST that use a different name when selling in person at the National. Why...they are so full of shit and don’t want to be called out in person. Maybe they will wear a fake mustache this year????

You think.....LOL. How true that is!!!!

IF anyone on our BST doesn't go by their real name in transactions there I would sure like to know about it. They won't be there any longer. Charge what you want but be who you are .

Would like to know who they are. I have bought from many many members on here and I have never run into any sellers that are not using their real names(as far as I know).

I bought some really nice cards at fair prices from both of those guys.
