Hadn't thought of that angle.
My natural assumption in such cases appraisal versus offered price cases is that the appraisal is off-- often by multiple times. A favorite ebay description was the guy selling a card and said (paraphrase): "If this card was graded it would be worth $10,000. But I don't want to pay the $20 grading fee so am offering the card for $500." The funny thing is the some buyers don't see the gaping hole wide enough to drive a six wheeler through in that financial logic, and scammers bank on them. As I advise in buying, "Use common sense." Another saying is "When the buyer thinks he's getting a steal and there's an ignorant rube involved in the deal, there often is an ignorant rube involved and it's often the buyer." I remember watching a Shop at Home late night huckster say "I could sell this for $2,000 but am offering it to you for $799." My response was "If you could sell it for $2,000 you'd sell it for $2,000." Last edited by drcy; 08-27-2014 at 01:20 PM.
