Nothing wrong with the quick flip but hawking your card like a carnival barker talking about "come big" is a bit disingenuous.
Put a price on it and see if it sells. Nothing wrong with that.

I know, which is why I stated "highest grade that Beckett has given this card"

Took out the "come big", but I'm not going to post a price due to the fact that there is no base to go off. A PSA 8 one (which is not as rare as mine) went for $1134, and still there are people claiming they go for under $1000. On these forum sites, people just argue and post obnoxious comments if a price is too high. On the other hand, I won't list it at $1000 and have someone steal it.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good sales pitch.

Who cares if he bought it for $40 yesterday and puts it on here for $4,000 today? Its his he can do what he wants with it.

I agree that it is his and he is more than welcome to list it at whatever he wants. And to not have anyone comment about his asking price. Banging on a seller for what they are asking for a card is bad form and should be avoided.
His sales pitch is a little dodgy as there are comparisons out there and ways to create a base for a price.
On a side note I have yet to understand why, many times on many card forums I frequent, no price is ever listed. I don't understand that. Out a price on it and post it for sale.
It would be nice if a set of forum selling guidelines were posted for the community to follow. It has worked well at the CGC comics marketplace.

This. The seller can do what he wants...

You guys don't do this to my threads when I try and resell (and it is pretty clear I ONLY resell), why would you do it here?

I do; however, want to add that I do agree the sales pitch is ridiculous and a little misinformation - but you can simply point that out and move on. If the seller can't price his own card then don't make him an offer and pass on it...

Suggesting someone would be stealing it at 1000 when you paid 769 two days before, and the nonsense about not knowing how to price it, are insulting. Either say taking offers or asking x.

Had a feeling when I saw this it was going to get derailed.
