Reasonable BIN w/BO Quagmire

Speaking of Leon's Heading Home Ruth's thread, here was one that ended early: Link

Sorry about that...This started out as one of those Ebay BIN museum pieces per the price. The seller had it up at an original price of around $4000+.....I emailed him, told him I was very interested, and let him know he was not anywhere close to the market and that I own 5, gave him a link to my site and so forth. I made an offer and he declined. In the meantime he put it up again with a more realistic BIN and opener. I made another offer and he took it. I only make those offers on cards I really want and wanted to add that one to my collection. I have lost a many a card with this kind of scenario so tried my best to make a deal with him, which I did. He did tell me, after the fact, that he had an offer that was going to be at the starting price of the card. He had already shipped the card to me, overnight. Please see BST tomorrow for a $3500 Headin' Home card . Once again, sorry about having a frustrating situation for you Gary. Been there done that.
