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.

This. We all follow the same auctions. We all have the opportunity to buy the card on the original auction, same as the flipper does. I'm all about making a profit and pricing the card how you want. But to state "go big" when most everyone seen the card just a couple of weeks ago in the Small Traditions auction is kinda silly. And noone is "stealing" that card at $1,000 - you would make a nice profit at that price range.

eBay and Small Traditions are 2 completely different sites. People on eBay pay a lot more than what auction sites fetch. Mostly due to the fact that eBay is the biggest auction site in the world. I am not trying to sell it on Small Traditions because everyone knows people on eBay will pay whatever they have to in order to get an item. A person that has no idea about Small Traditions can offer $2500 on the card not knowing what it sold for. I am going to delete the info in my original post because this is not worth the agony, as you all tarnished any chance of me selling/trading this card on this forum. Thank you to the people who have my back, and I hope the people that bashed me find more important things in their life to do than nitpick a seller on a baseball forum site.

A seller hoping to take advantage of an ignorant buyer. Best of luck!!

Well, you can edit a post or thread but I doubt you will be deleting it. However, I do have an issue with anyone talking smack in this thread. It is against the rules. Bobby started it and it kept rolling. If there is anything not understood pertaining to the rules let me know. Please refrain from posting in BST threads concerning past or future auctions, unless fraud is involved...and there wasn't any here. Again, read the rules and let me know if they need to be made more clear.

As far as using crazy jargon to sell on our forum such as L@@K...Wow...And so forth, that isn't too cool either. Leave that stuff on COMC, SCF and ebay...not here please.

Trying to deceive as to the value of a card seems something people should be allowed to comment on, in my opinion.

If you check Small Tradition's last auction, you will see this Derek Jeter POP 1 PSA sold for $1655

http://smalltraditions.com/LotDetail...1994-Collector

It is now on eBay for $7,500

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-DEREK-J...item232cfee7c0

So I am obviously not the only one in the world who buys from small auction sites, and trys to flip

[Peter_Spaeth]

I have no issue at all with trying to flip. My issue is with trying to do so by a misleading sales pitch, suggesting a single PSA 8 sale was the most comparable card, when in fact there were three prior sales of this very card for hundreds less, as well as many PSA 8s for substantially less than the one you touted. No need to insult people's intelligence when trying to make a profit.
