Or it’s not worth $6,000.

A card I wanted hit ebay yesterday. $70. It’s worth $30. Many sales to justify that price too. In fact the RC doesn’t sell as high as this particular 2nd year card. As expected, seller is ignoring my offer and it expires shortly. When it does I won’t ever make another offer. Had he responded with a counter and a simple note saying “sorry I can’t go that low” I may have offered $40 and then let it sit for a couple months before offering again.
