The philosophy of "I paid this, I can't sell for less" drives me nuts from a business perspective, on easy to locate cards. That same person would never say, "well, I paid $500, so I'll sell it for that, even though the market says it should be $1,000 now."
If you're going to take advantage of market prices when there's a profit, you should be aware of the going rate when trying to sell. Or else you'll never sell an item. I have a basketball card which I bought for $750 during the basketball peak, a year or so ago. It's worth maybe $400 now. If I needed to sell it, I would sell at the going rate of $400. Insane to think that because the owner paid more than the current going rate, to expect someone else to then do the same as well. |
