You're only in this "challenge" because you couldn't help bringing up money and how much you spend in the original thread.

Actually, my offer is genuine. I do have some cash set aside for good buying opportunities. I will buy up to 10 red hindus at my stated offer of $500 each. I have yet to receive a single taker on this offer. Its highly unlikely that I will get any either. I would be THRILLED to add a few to my collection at that price point!

You still just don't get it...no matter what you offer, you may not get any takers at this point. And again, this thread should be locked as when you replied, 3 legit BST threads got pushed down again. This is a conversation thread, not a BST post. If it was a legit BST post, it wouldn't have all of the idiotic commentary about how dumb we all are in the thread starter.

To continue beating this dead horse...I just noticed on ebay there are currently 2 red hindus...a trimmed baker and a gandil vg. The Baker is $3.5K or so and the Gandil $5.5K. Obviously these are overpriced. So what are they worth? At what price point would anyone buy them? What do you think they R worth in today's valuations?

[JP]

I know that the $5500 Gandil red Hindu was in my crosshairs before....either in a major auction or on card target, I almost went after it at around $3000-3500 I believe. It'll be worth the asking price in 5-10 years, I believe. The $3500 Baker (trimmed to the extreme!!) can't be worth more than 20% of the asking price, can it?

not sure about the Baker but the Gandil was an ebay auction that ended around 3200 and was put back up at the price you see. Also that was when red Hindus were very hot-about 2 years ago-probably a record in VCP.

Since this thread keeps bumping more legit ones down, on the BST, I decided to move it here. This does not mean everyone wanting to buy something should post it here on the main page. This is an extraordinary situation....
