No need in reading the whole thread. Bashing somebody for posting what they believe is a good deal is nothing new on FCB.

I'll still get a couple of bucks for the reprints, the Starting Lineup's are on eBay, and I pissed off a good amount of people on FCB.....

You should be very proud that you managed to piss off a few people, by low-balling an old-lady...but the joke ended up being on you. Yes, very proud.

[quote="Russ S.":1z1bdlaw][quote="brouthercard":1z1bdlaw][quote="tonsofcommons":1z1bdlaw]Ok. I'm going to be the 1st to ask... What did he have on them that you felt the need to BARGAIN him down to $30?

Yah, if you try to bargain him down, you take the risk he may check ebay just to make sure you weren't ripping him off too much!

Or did he sound like the kind of guy who wouldn't own a computer?
It was probably that the Gma looked like she was easy to rip off.

Hope they are reprints.


What are you kidding me? I know if you came across them you would do the same thing, so dont act like your some fracking saint. Only a jealous person would make a post like that.


eh, he's just a typical hater.
Please. Screw both of you.

Knowing that IF they were real, he'd make a killing no matter what they were asking. They look flawless.
But to be ****** and haggle them down to "$30".

Come on. Dick move and you both know it.

I'm not jealous or a hater. I don't collect basketball so I could give 2 shats.
I just call them like I see them.

Yeah, I'm the bad guy here. ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::[/quote:1z1bdlaw]


I had no idea if they were real or how much they were worth. I was figuring I could flip em for 100 total. It wasn't til I got home and checked eBay when I realized how much they could be worth.[/quote:1z1bdlaw]

so you had no clue whatsoever that if those two cards were real and in those condition that you would have made an absolute KILLING at $30? who doesn't at least know the relative value of a jordan rookie that is into sports cards... I mean even if you weren't sure how many zeros to tack onto the price... did you really think a jordan RC in that shape "might fetch you 50 bucks?"

?[/quote:1z1bdlaw]

The fact that the poster started a thread called "GARAGE SALE STEAL!!!!!" makes you think he knew what he was up to.

The way I read it was that the old lady called her son and he was supposedly the one "talked down to 30.00". If this was the case the son probably knew they were fake and had no problem selling them. So I'm not sure why the OP was taking all the flack for haggling with an old lady when he really dealt with the son if that in fact was the case.

Just a quick thought/question... If it was a store owner who did the same thing to an old lady who brought the card into the store, would it be considered a steal or would it be considered ripping the old lady off?

I think his original intent was obviously to brag about a huge score he thought he had made. I think his intent changed once he realized he didn't score anything.

Lesson learned on this thread:

When posting on a message board, wordage is VERY important.

When you use the terms "steal", "talked down" and "granny" in your thread, prepare to get flamed. People are protective of their grannies, even if they are chain smokers. This is similar to using the terms "world's greatest" and "hands down" without being able to back it up. You will get flamed. Yes, you will.

I don't think the terms "steal" and "talked down" are words that should get anyone flamed. Were all looking for that "steal" on either a PC piece or an item we can flip. Anyone who does garage sales or estate sales knows you always try to "talk down" the seller on the listed price. Its called smart business.

I shouldnt have to defend myself on this. She offered a price, I offered a slightly lower price. Since I bought a few items, she accepted the package offer. Trust me, she wouldve taken 5 if I offered it. She just wanted money to go buy some cigarettes. Win win situation...

I agree totally. You can tell who the real investors are and those who just like to play around. Whether the cards are real or not.
