Not always...but sometimes, you should take the money

Leon on the flip side its cool that he didn't end the auction early, cause he could have done it prior to you seeing the lot.

Hi Jay
Good point.... He and I had quite the communications and I am sure he was hoping for more than $200. The stamps are in poor condition or would have been worth more. I thought my offer was more than fair, given the condition issues, but what do I know?

Congrats Leon! Good hunting on your part, that is part of what makes this hobby fun/exciting in the 21st century (at least for me).

From a sellers perspective, accepting buy-it-now offers on "unique items" is always a tough call.....................I would venture to say that your scenario is the exception. The vast majority of buyers will do much better by letting their eBay auctions run their natural course.

Lovely Day...

I agree Iggy. This was more the exception than the rule by a long shot. I kind of worded the subject to reflect the thought but should have worded it better. More like- "Not too often but every now and then"

I sold an APBA set early. I had tracked it, had a very good (maybe 20% more than I thought it would go for) offer from someone who really wanted it...why not?
