To back up your claim that SMR is way off base, you could offer to buy any of their CJ's for the SMR price, plus 10%.

Default I often do what Mark said

Let them know you'll pay at least smr for the cards therefore you obviously can not sell them for guide prices. I have also explained that its just a guide. If they get surly I will often tell them to call PSA, or beckett if that's what they keep quoting, and see how many they can buy for that price.

James you can quote them VCP prices on cards that have sold.

Its funny on a chunk of the modern stuff like '70's to present
the SMR is too high and some sellers (like myself) are discounting
cards and lots to move them. I'd be delighted to get full SMR on that stuff

James, are your cards on eBay in an auction or BuyItNow?

If BuyItNow, you might consider offering a card at auction to see what price it brings. There might be some middle ground between you and the SMR... Let one of the complainers know that you're auctioning the card, so he can see what it brings.

In the past, on certain CJs (i.e. PSA 1 Joe Jax), I have offered 3x SMR to show how off base SMR is.

I think you politely decline their offers and move on. Most people buying CJ's are somewhat sophisticated buyers and know the actual market.

Same thing happens on the other end when SMR"s are way over the actual market prices and seller's use the SMR's for the basis of their selling prices.

If they are using SMR then they are most likely members of the CU board. Tell them to do a search over there for VCP and they will find most members use us as their price guide. But they already know this and are just using the SMR to get you to lower your price.

I believe most CU members know the SMR is off. They have threads about it once in a while.

Isn't the SMR like AWM?
