Sounds great, but you could have gotten a buyer here seems like. Actually I just saw it this morning and was checking funds when I saw you were going the auction route. When comparing your ultimate selling price, also consider the commission you paid, the shipping you paid and the cost of waiting a couple months for your money. Good luck with it.

just sent you a pm...havent sent out the card yet today, i am getting offers for more than my original asking price.... but interest doesnt mean actually paying..at least in an auction you know you will get paid

Why all the drama? You should, IMO, take the first offer at your posted price.

Agreed, Jake the right thing to do is sell to Don, or whoever accepted your offered price first in pm. You buy and sell enough cards on here that it's not worth the damage to your reputation to make a couple hundred extra bucks.

I think Peter is the one trying to start drama with the quote and now pokerplyr... i said the card was not listed for sale for 12 HOURS before any post came from Don. I have seen pokerplyr raise an asking price on a 1955 clemente and then take the card off the market to wait for other auction results before giving a new price.. ..correct? I know i offered you asking price on that card but you were no longer interested in taking that. Did I comment about your reputation? You had a right not to sell it..its your card and it was off the market, at least for that price

Nobody has a probem that was interested in the card..everyone had their chance. So far only Peter and pokerplyr had no interest in the card are worried about drama...

You are also assuming a lot from the Don post...

Don is fine with the situation, (Don correct me if i am wrong). His post said he would buy if IF i want to sell it...nothing about original paying asking price at that time.. (I have sold and bought from Don thousands of dollars of card by the way)

....he was advised that i was already getting offers above original asking price (and card was no longer listed for sale at that time) when he first put the post here.....card sold to buyer that came before him anyway..so no harm no foul....

Also i just sold a 3 Venezuelan card group and though i was awaiting payment, i got 2 more offers on those cards for higher amounts. However, a deal was a deal and i waited for payment and sold those cards as a group even though I was offered more by 2 other buyers.

You really shouldnt be interfering with a B/S/T thread as well. Yours and Peters comments are not appropriate for someone that makes a big deal about commentary in a b/s/t thread.. Its hypocritical.. I dont know if you want me to comment about how i think you should handle a deal or it will impact your reputation on a b/s/t thread even when there are no real buyers complaining about how it was handled

Again, Don is the person that would be the appropriate person to give a complaint but he isnt because there is nothing to complain about.

I only saw the sale this morning and I did see that Jake was taking it off the market, I did email Jake and offered to buy it at the original sell price if he would like to sell it. He did state he had a pending offer and offered it to me at$2400. I passed since I liked the first price. My problem was I saw the listing too late, you can't win them all. So no problem here. I will keep looking. Don.

correct i asked if he was interested in that price.

I also just earlier i told Don in an email , if i dont receive the payment, he has first opportunity to buy it. Don and I are on the same page.

I let everyone know i had pending offers above asking but they were contigent on better scans etc and advised everyone that due to time constraints (shipping the card off today if no deal in place as I already took the card off the market in anticipation) that any agreement would trump ongoing negotiations..

He had pulled the card from being for sale (post 4) when the offer (post6) was made. It wasn't for sale at that time.
The offerer had no issue and it was subsequently sold, in what looked to me, a different sale for a little more money. I almost see his point of you interfering for not a great reason on this one.

I am not saying he did anything unethical or breached a contract. I am saying it's unnecessary drama to list a card, pull it a few hours later, say it's going off to auction while reminding us of how we have passed up his great prior offers, then still be willing to sell it for a few extra bucks while declining to sell it to Don who would have bought it at his original asking price which presumably he thought about before listing it in the first place. If you don't see the point, never mind. Maybe I don't have one.

First of all, 3 people contacted me before Don ever made the post, 2 of which advised they saw that the card was going to an AH is off the market so would i consider taking more than my original asking price. Second, it was not like i was saying its going to auction for days while bumping the thread like we see on with others. I would contend there is more drama in that. My thread was short and sweet, took 1 or 2 days, card sold..short and sweet. No drama at all and no one complaining. A little salesmanship is not ridiculous. I discussed some prior great listings and I said this was also a great listing. It appears it was as I was getting offers more original asking price. That also occurred on some of my prior listings like the 1954 Topps PSA 7.5 Banks. Its not like i was making up the current auction results. Everything I sad was the truth. My cards do not have the reputation of being forever listed so I do not think it is bad to bring up some past great deals.

Your post basically saying I was doing something wrong and telling me how to handle it on my b/s/t is what started the 'drama'. Plus you are the one that takes issue of extra comments on b/s/t. Thus, you admit that you maybe dont have a point in your comments yet those comments were polluting my b/s/t thread. I wold think if someone maybe does not have a point and keeps replying again and again on someone's b/s/t thread they can just admit they were wrong and move on. Thanks

Listing a card for 7 hours would seem to restrict the buyer pool. Everyone doesn't live here.

Was card removed from sale due to the PWCC auction results?

If so, just end the listing and go to auction, if that's your desire.

I tend to agree with Peter that the evolution of the thread to a higher selling price here seems specious.
