I gave him a price if he wanted to buy the card, and explained that this is one of the toughest HOFer's to find in high grade. Tonite is the second time I told him that I no longer wanted to sell it. I have no earthly idea what is driving him to waste alot of people's time, The card is presently NOT for sale....thanks

As I told you in an email... This poll is not about whether you want to sell card any longer. It's about everything else you said in the email exchanges.

Dont worry. I will explain after the poll.

?? Wow, can't wait. Don't you have a regular life by chance?

Kevin has always been fair to me so I would imagine that he's being honest by saying he basically inflated the price to make it worth his while since he was not motivated to let it go. All cards are for sale for the right price.

Beautiful card. I've owned a dozen and they're hard to find in this grade.

Exactly one of my points. You feel you have to resort to that to convince me you are right about your price....like I insulted you with my counter email...

You instantly told me I don't know what I'm talking about and I need to learn something...

We are here now taking a poll to see who is closer...

Additionally all cards were presented as doubles or sgc to Psa change overs due to desiring Psa cards.

Great looking card, but I just bought a fridge, so I can't vote at any price till I get the fridge paid for.

It seems to me the most pertinent question is what will he sell it for, not what those of us who are not looking for one (but voting) would pay for it. That is unless I am missing some vital information here.

The missing vital information is the argument is about the value of the card...not about what he would sell it at. The email conversation went from an email negotiating price to how I know nothing about the value of high grade Psa cards.

I'm wiling to accept that he wants a high dollar for the card and that we may not reach a deal but that doesn't mean it's worth what he is asking. The argument he made was that it is worth his asking price.

The only thing I did was to try to rationalize that my price is closer to where others agree the value of the card would be.

The value of the card is exactly what the highest bidder will pay for it. No formula will answer that question.

I once negotiated with a collector on a rare card for over 6 months once. We were miles apart in the beginning, but after periodic e-mails back and forth, we finally came to an agreement.

I would have been very upset if any part of the negotiation were broadcast on a chat board, especially in the form of a poll. If you didn't like the offer, say thanks and move on.

Kevin- One thing that I tried to explain to you, when you collect 5's there is very little price difference price wise, you have very little risk. You pay between $100-150, maybe a little higher on low pop cards. When you collect 7's and 8's, it is a whole different ballgame. You seem to be taking something way to personal. These prices really go crazy because of the Master set collectors, and also because of very low pops depending on the player....
