Stopping someone dead in his tracks who’s trying to sweet-talk you out of a card for next to nothing, because you know full well he’s only looking to grab it to immediately resell it at a big profit.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought that was a crock-blocker.

This is why it isn't a good idea to sell cards to a friend.

I hate when someone resuscitates a thread of something I was bitching about 8 months ago and can no longer remember the point or what set me off.

LOL...it happens frequently, it seems. It's like WTF...that is old.
We have had 18+/- yrs old threads posted to the top before...

It has been a good discussion. Glad somebody resuscitated it!

I'm not a dealer, I'm a collector. I have flipped many items that I have bought on eBay. If I see something that is worth more than the listed BIN or the highest bid, I am very likely to buy it and flip it or trade it later. It's like finding money in the street. Will you pick the money up, or will you pass it by ?
I would say by no means could I be described as rich or well-off. I'm just a working class guy. It is a way to pick up extra money to help finance my collection. It helps.
Now, to flip on net 54, that is a more touchy matter. Once I bought an item on net 54 that the other member priced way too low. I felt I should have given a heads up to him, but I didn't. It did make me feel a bit guilty. I didn't flip the item on net 54, but I did trade It to one of my trading partners. It was a very good trade for both of us.
As far as someone flipping something I sell, it doesn't bother me. Now if someone lied to me and said how much they needed it for their personal collection, and could I give them a break on the price, and then they flipped it, that would definitely leave a bad taste.

The problem with flippers right now is there are wayyyy more sellers than buyers. This will continue in 2022.
