I don't think he's selling it as much as looking for a Godfather to "make him an offer he can't refuse". Can't blame him for testing the waters in today's market.

the fact that there is no "obo" says a lot to me...

so "testing" is a very cordial word to use, imo.

well respected guy, great collector and extremely nice card.

absolutely crazy demanding price, though.

Side question?? If if sell high-end items like this on Ebay...How do you go about shipping this item? Use Next day mail, then how about insurance?? Who do you use/prefer??

Matt may have to clone himself to find a buyer.

A BO is not necessary in all cases and this is probably one. An interested party will find a way to negotiate and a cash deal off site would save thousands in fees.

I agree. I think the OBO (Or Best Offer) completely undermines a BIN price. If I am setting a high BIN, I would never use OBO. I would just set a high BIN and come off firm and let people who really want the item reach out and negotiate. An ebay listing puts an item out there. The deal on high end stuff on eBay gets done offline 90% of the time IMHO.

and i would expect if it had an "obo" that a side deal woulda been struck just as well, yet a whole lot simpler for a perspective buyer all while eliminating the "are you serious?" factor.

edit: and lest us not forget that we werent talking a strong asking price. we were talking $200K.
