Csa show

[skelly]

As stated earlier, lots of people set up simply looking to buy cards. Two thoughts on this- should these people be set up away from the tables in a specific section of the show, rather than being mixed in. The other thought, which may not be popular, is for 80-90% of a cards value, why would you not sell to these outfits. Let’s say you have a PSA 5 Willie Mays Topps card that sells for about $300.00. You could sell it to someone who is set up to buy, get $250 cash on the spot. I don’t see how you would net more in say the Robert Edwards monthly auction, the buyer is going to factor the now 23% buyers premium, sales tax and shipping cost into their bid. So you can get cash on the spot, or you can wait a couple months to get the same money in many cases.

I think the people set up to just buy have a good business model.
