FS: SOLD 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson PSA 6

[Leon]

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

The PWCC just ended at $2700+

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.

Good stuff sells fast when priced right..after all the card did sell in a day, so 7 hours is a lot of time for good stuff. Some like to list their card for sale for months but perhaps the price is not right for those.

Plus not the first time a card sold for more than asking. The card was taken off the site to go to auction but I was solicited by 3 members with interest in the card. You can see the posts after I took off the card that they took place at 6 am and there were emails around that time too.....i had yet to go to the post office. Not sure what the big deal if someone decides to take off a listing and mail the card off the next day. I see people say a card is going to be sent to auction for weeks and they keep bumping the the thread. I think thats ploy. Mine was no ploy. I mailed out cards to an AH the next day and the Jackie would of gone out with those cards but for it selling. No drama and no complaints by anyone that was actually interested in the card.

I have sold a house for more than asking when i got several offers in. Thats when the 'highest and best offer' stuff happens.

Plus to make all these comments on a b/s/t thread is frowned upon

Both these comments by Jake are the keys to his post. In short, if you are not interested in buying his card(s) or anyone's who post on B/S/T, then STFU!

Right the only people that seem to have gripes had zero interest in the card at the asking price. I guess i will gripe if i see a babe ruth card that has been listed for 20 hours and sells for $5000 more than the 300k asking hours after it was taken off the market and complain about it even though i would be about 295k short of funds to pay for it. Yeah that would make sense.
