If it ever does resurface I probably won't be able to afford it, but it would always be fun to complete a rainbow sometime

The closest I've been to one is the Mauer in my sig. That was thanks to the great guys in the MT. Florida Dave pulled the atomic, and gave me a discounted price, then I believe Dan and GC chipped in to help me afford it. My collection has come a long way in the 16-18 months or so since I grabbed all of these. I've started moving some of my Mauer and Span stuff, but the 2012 Topps Chrome Mauer stuff is staying with me

Awesome!
Now, if only this dipstick would get a grip

Turns down $10 and $20. Last one sold for $8 (I forgot to set a snipe), and they regularly sell for under $12. Numerous copies have been listed for YEARS at $19.99 and up with no action. I send the guy a message asking him what value he has in mind since I've offered more than the usual sell price.
He replies with "If you find one under $30, you should buy it. There's no way I am going that low."
Me and [MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] had a discussion about sellers like this - they don't want to sell those cards, really. I would say I am one of the top two prospective buyers of those cards.

Also - DECLINED offers. No counters.
What an awesome gesture by the guys! Love the sig also!
Just picked up this lot for the Dawson 1/1 sketch. He offers me the lot for $30 and I inquire about only buying the Dawson sketch card and he offers me the Dawson for $32 so I just bought the whole lot and I will try to get rid of the rest of the lot. If you guys see something you want in the lot then just let me know.

Biggest thing I hate about ebay and shows.
I fully expect to see a LOT of unrealistic prices at the show tomorrow, and a lot of cards I'd like to buy that I end up passing on because sellers either bought in too high or have unrealistic expectations for what they can get out of a card. You would think with the proliferation of ebay and the internet in general, this would have gone away by now, but I can guarantee that several guys will pull out their copy of beckett tomorrow when I ask for a price on a card.
Now the seller is offering to refund my money and sell me the Dawson for $20, it would save me $25.

I'd take it.

And then when you talk them down to - approximately - eBay prices, they tell you that you are "beating them up" and that you'll "make a few dollars if you list the cards since you got such a great deal."

Because all they care about is making money.
I think a lot of these guys have forgotten that there are people out there who COLLECT cards.
I have seen cards at shows that I (and every other Dawson collector) were outbid on within a year's previous time.
Sellers will win cards and then relist them on ebay for double what they won it for. It's aggravating!!
Taking the $20 offer and seeing if the seller happens to know if there are any additional Dawson cards in the lot.
Just picked this one up:
