price opinion on a card

[Theo_450]

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.

Ditto.

Guys. I'm not 15. I said I get it.

I have 5 6 7 and 8s to you on the phone. My min criteria is a 5. You some how translated this to mean I know nothing about card values over a 5 in your own mind lol.

There is going to be price flux. I said in email.... That's fine. Your asking über retail. I'm closer to mainstream. The actual price is somewhere in the middle and then you sent some more condescending remarks etc.

I followed up with maket examples... You said some more condescending remarks... I followed up again showing you another expletive of how I can get a better deal and that my numbers are not far off.

You sent some more condescending remarks.

So I put it to a poll...

The simple value to a card is what someone will pay for it. What the asking price is, is up to the owner. If you don't like the asking price then move on. If the seller doesn't like the offer then hopefully he moves on. No other rhetoric needs to take place. Simple business.

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.
