+1. I heard many a things that my young ears shouldn't have behind a table at shows.

at the right price I don't see how anyone wouldn't buy from anyone.

basically if you hated a guy and he wanted to hand you $200 with no string attached..don't you still take it? $15 dollars maybe not..but there is a price you will end up taking it..forget principals..

I think for the most part you are right. I have dealt with someone on this board a few years on and off and he was very rude to me the first time we struck a deal. I wanted the card, so I bit my tongue and ever since we have made a handful of deals and he's still not very friendly. In the end, his prices and cardboard trumped what I actually wanted to do

right..besides handing you $200 the guy can be saving you $200 in additional money you would have to pay for the same card to a nice dealer...I think you pay the $200 to the bad dealer with a legit same card versus $400 to the nice dealer with knowledgeable hot girls who are single and like personality over looks and know about Old Judges and in their own personal collection they buy card not the grade and they post on forums against shilling and they want to improve the hobby...hmm maybe I changing my mind now with those qualifiers

Not an attitude thing per se, but I won't buy from anyone leading off a BST post with "taking offers on......."

true that annoying..also annoying is after a awhile on B/S/T when a price is listed but after months and months with no offers the seller writes 'OFFERS ANYONE?' then if get an offer they say its lowball and get angry when they are the one begging for an offer when obviously no one even remotely even contacted them based on the price they posted which would suggest they are sky high..

again its their card they can do what they want but the not in a position to be upset with any offer they get at that point...they should just list a lower price if they want to sell or just admit they don't want to sell it a market price only higher...they later become the 'ill just keep it' people or 'ill sent to auction, which auction and how many years from now, nobody knows!'

Amen to that! Either put a price on it, or put in the auction section with your minimum bid. Otherwise, you are just running an auction with a hidden reserve, not selling.

This insanity has gone on entirely too long.

"their" is plural

"Is" is singular

ergo this thread should be titled correctly

"Are there people you wont buy from simply because of their attitude?"

Everyone knows that there is more than one person out there with an attitude.

Also an acceptable alternative

"Is there a person you wont buy from simply because of his/her attitude?"

This is for folks who don't recognize an attitude when they see one.
