If you think he may overestimate the condition of his cards I always put in my briefcase some graded cards from 1-10. If you have some, take them out to compare to the ones he has overestimated. Just a stain or so on the back brings them down to 1-2 grade range. Everyone thinks there cards are mint-near mint until I show them a graded 8+, then they realize they have a 3-5 range card.

Thanks
...for the advice. I was thinking this morning that in reality a decent chunk of the cards may end in my personal collection as an upgrade or new addition. And some of them will be traded for inventory that I desire more. In short, I will not be "flipping" these per se.
As per the graded card example, I will keep that in consideration; a good thought there.

Mintacular,
If you walk in the house and the beckett price guide is on the table, your chances of closing the deal are slim to none. Make him a fair offer, and if he has already received other offers, you may be able to close the deal. If you are the first person who has made an offer, regardless if the offer is fair or not, chances are he is going to be disappointed and want to shop it around. Just my experience.

I can't control what he thinks is "fair"--just need to organize my ducks in a row, make a reasonable offer w/a defense of that $ figure, and explain how Beckett prices "work" if need be. Chances are my offer won't be too much lower than any other (informed) buyer, so if he rejects it now, I could very well get a call at a later date after he receives other "low" offers.

If asked, say you're a "collector/dealer." You can add that you've collected and been interested in cards for years (if it's true). Most collectors do some selling and trading, so there's nothing un-kosher in selling.
If you don't agree on the entire collection, maybe you can buy some individual pieces. Last edited by drc; 10-06-2009 at 01:01 PM.
