Default Net54 speak translation / what it means really

'Bump for price reduction' - Yeah i know i asked too much but i really thought my card was way better than all of the other cards in the same grade and worth 20 percent more, but now this time, i am exactly right on the price of the card so dont ask for me to reduce

'Nice card' Nice card, but zero chance will pay your asking price, and hey i get to add another post on my post count.

'Looking for offers' I am afraid to to ask for a price that it will sell for because I will be missing out on a higher price, so I will only ask for offers and only willing to sell a card for a price that noone is willing to pay, so I wont be selling it for less than its worth. What is is worth? Well Im looking for offers to tell me that but rest assured I wont offer it at that price.

Successful Transactions with 'x y z'- You should hear about the unsuccessful transactions I have had, but I wont bore you with that, ill just tell you the ones that I have had successful transactions with, if i list more than 20 of them, please dont check each one, because I am hiding a few lets say 'not successful' transactions in them ....who would have the time to check...


More to list ....

I would mostly agree with all of those except "Successful Transactions". I took my formatting from another member and added this to my signature. The ones I listed are my ONLY Net54 transactions thus far, just want to give people a jumping off point for references. It's for helping others whom I may deal with. Thankfully I've not had any unsuccessful transactions.

My only issue with the "listening to offers" line is that, even if I want the item, I usually don't offer anything lest the seller possibly take offense at what they perceive to be a low offer. (Hasn't happened to me on here but has on ebay)

That's my biggest complaint. I like being able to see sold prices bc I think it helps everyone determine current market price.

If cant sell, moving them to Auction House- I've bumped my listing 5 times and no takers so i know losing 20% to an AH will still get me way more money, you all just lost out on a great deal, perhaps i wont send the card or not, but at least no one will ask me 5 years later if i still have my 1951 rookie Mays card at what was a ridiculous price 5 years ago but now 5 years later its a ridiculous price in the other direction....

Sales is sales, the nice thing about this sub is most people are genuine with their collecting goals and honest in their dealings.

This forum hosts pictures pretty well itself.

As for other sayings....

If this doesn't sell it's going back into my collection...........is always a good one. It means if I can find a sucker to pay what I crazily think it's worth, I will sell it.

It would be awesome if it could handle an upload file over 1mb. I at least have to edit any picture to be under that threshold for it to upload at all, before it then auto converts to the c.200kb (sometimes a few over, I don't know the actual limit) file size the system likes. It's pretty hard to find a phone or camera that doesn't have over 1mb photos these days, most phones are over 5x that. Just casting a meaningless vote if that can be updated to scale with current tech

Default bump bump offers?

asking price given bump week later bumper 3 days later bump 3 days later bump...month later bump, bump bump bump bump.

offers?

anyone?

anyone out there?

offers anyone?

This means if you give an offer below asking you are insulting the seller.and you will be notified this as well as the 'ill just keep it' 'send to AH'

followed by 'no longer available' means didnt sell it..

We raised the limit some time back, to about 195k, and I don't see it being raised again. I suggest buying a computer. And a card for the thread...

I am probably in the minority but I liked how the pics worked before the size increase. Now it is a PIA to not have the pic show up way too big in the post.

To get back on topic. Ends tonight. Well unless it does't sell because it is insanely overpriced. So I will edit the original post and keep bumping it with more ends tonight posts. Hey it lets you have several one day auctions in a row that never sell.

Almost giving this mint card away at opening bid. Really means you could buy this excelent at best card for way less with a overpriced eBay BIN.

I won’t offer if there is no price. Listening to offers. Just name your price. If you want to have bids on it put it up for auction.

My favorite part of that one is it is always the same day it was listed and many times within a few hours. Gotta get that bump in early and often.

Default card comes from my PC

'card for sale from my PC' means will be charging more that market price and card wont be any better looking than most comparable ones. I may of bought the card last week but its my PC, personal collection or i have a Punitive Cost in it...

Great eye appeal- for someone not wearing glasses that needs to wear them.

when card just posted... asking x. but will accept reasonable offers...

means within 10 percent of the asking or else angry at the person that made the offer. Even though a few days later, the card is bumped with a price reduction of 10 percent..

Default net54 translation

Fun topic. Lots of you of hit on the more well-known ones, so here's my
offering. I'm surprised- I guess that's the proper word- by the number of
folks who can't grasp that a card can possess good centering, or be
well centered, and not be "perfectly centered". I'm a centering-oriented
person, and even I am taken aback by people who say they don't like a card
because it's not "perfectly" centered, especially vintage and older. I usually
say something to the effect that it seems the person is looking for a card
that is a 9, but somehow got trapped in a 7 holder. It's the old Inigo Montoya
quote from "Princess Bride"- "I do not think that word means, what you think
it means". It's a quirk I suppose Trent King
