buying cards and collections and comics stories

Post by superman-prime »

figured we could have a catagory about fun times buying stuff and crazy prices non auction related

I just passed on a deal that someone had

he had about 5000 comic cards masterpiece 1 2 and 3
also universe 1 2 3 no inserts just the sets and extras and a bunch of the hildibrant stuff
he wanted 3k

i was polite but he wigged out

then i pulled up auctions on ebay completed to show him and i thought he was going to cry
whee does everyone find prices for this stuff ?

Don't even get me started on pricing issues...well, I guess you can get me started since this is sort of a thread about craziness.
Sometimes I think they pull prices out of thin air, or darker places. Sometimes they might have seen a price years ago and assume everything appreciates. But if you are selling on eBay or any online site, just do a search for the item you are selling first. Then price it.
This post has been carefully constructed so as to add absolutely nothing to any discussion or topic.

If that were true then they never would have invented that little blue pill.

What you do with the little blue pill is your business. We don't need to know what shots your rim has taken. :P

You usually can tell by reading the cards. I am unsure if you ever played but if the card is really great chances it's worth money.
