buying cards and collections and comics stories
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 ?

It just doesnt make sense what some sellers will ask for.

Re: buying cards and collections and comics stories
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.

What you do with the little blue pill is your business. We don't need to know what shots your rim has taken.Squirrel wrote:I need a 'rim shot' effect for this oneBruceReville wrote:If that were true then they never would have invented that little blue pill.Squirrel wrote:Doesn't EVERYTHING go up as it gets older?

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.
