Yup, it's part of the country that is situated just North of the Republic of Texas.

Also seller backed out and decided to take back what he said earlier about selling all at same time......Sean only one that had the opportunity to follow through and did ...everyone else backed out or didn't have the opportunity to back out

Well, if the seller backed out over $24,000, then he obviously thinks his collection is worth more than it actually is. Typically Craig's Lister (albeit nicer cards), but still someone who values their stuff more than it actually is worth. My best advice is still sell stuff yourself. I know it is work. But you will see what the items actually bring. Most of your value is in the graded Ruth's.

Just a few observations.
_ I don't think the cards shown were all the cards there were if you look back at the original description.
_Seans offer seemed very fair, considerably higher that most dealer offers of a percentage basis, but on the other hand, there isn't a ton of chaff in this despite its grade. It is all stuff that can be sold in chunks and unlike, say, a 1969 Reggie Jackson Rookie, very few things that a dealer is likely to have a ton of duplication of.
- The seller might have decided to piece it out. On the one hand, he is essentially eliminating the middleman, on the other there are costs and considerable effort involved. The payday is probably between $2500-$5000 more than the offer, which if you are in no rush may or may not be worth it. He will almost certainly not get as much out of it as a dealer would.
_So long as I am sharing, I don't really like regular donuts. I am down for a good chocolate covered, or something like a vanilla Bismark, but the regular ones just seem doughy and not worth the calories.

I'm glad Leon let this one ride... it's been entertaining.

I'm a fan of those buttermilk donuts myself.

A BIG +1 on letting the thread run and on those buttermilk donuts.

As far as the buyers people are focusing on 1 of them is so slimy I wont even enter into a free contest that they are the prize giver. 1 of them I had a very nice transaction with and 1 is a internet troll. Just my opinion and my name is Ben North and I approve this post.

Can't go wrong with a quality gas station apple fritter

If a deal is ever consummated, this thread could still go postal as well. Hope we get tracking numbers.

the guy did say "selling collection looking for a dealer".......so I think its logical to assume you was looking for a middleman...

He also said that he was retracting the desire to find a single buyer. It seems he realized that he was leaving too much money on the table doing it that way.

right I said he backed out...thus the buyers did not back out...seems though people disagree here that he left money on the table..sometimes first offer is best offer..
