+1 I don't care how much a person asks for a card they just bought. It only bothers me if they bought that card form me after begging for a discount saying it was for their PC.

100% agreed. Thats my pet peeve when someone talks you down, and gives you the salespitch to only sell it in the near future.

You guys drop your prices if someone says they really want a card for their personal collection? You're nicer and/or more trusting than I.

I have done it with several people before. Now the first time I see the card relisted with a huge mark up in price with in a few weeks of me selling it to them it is the last card they will ever buy from me. For me it is totally different if several months or more has past because we all change our collecting goals over time, I don't expert them to have to keep it forever.

Ben, Would you have a different tune if they would have offered it to you first, before they sold elsewhere? I know on occassions where I have made it part of deal when selling or buying that we get the right of first refusual.

I would not. If I'm selling a card I have a number in mind I'm willing to take regardless of who's making the offer. If the buyer is someone I know or have done business with before it will be a factor. But I don't really care what they do with the card after they buy it.
