On one hand, to complete sets these days especially older or HTF lower serial numbered sets the forums can be a great place to get help and some if not most members are willing to try and help out. .
On the other hand, sometimes people will use it as a way to try an extort money. I am not talking about superstars either. I understand people wanting solid prices and even premiums. But when people list cards that no one on earth would care about let alone pay 5 dollars for at 30+ it BLOWS my mind.
Just one example is for me is a football set I have been trying to complete, (I know this is a baseball forum but a good example) Someone reached out to me on the forums (BLOWOUT) and asked what I would pay for a particular card I said I needed for my set. I said I would give him 15 dollars for it, which is probably $13 dollars more than anyone else will ever give them for it. I get radio silence on the other end after my offer, then they proceed to list it on COMC for $39.99 ????????? I am always willing to pay a little above market for cards/items that will help me complete my sets if I need it, but I have a limit where I say screw it, keep your fricking card. BTW this card has sat on COMC now for over 1 year and will probably sit there til the end of time.
Anyone else run into this?
Edit: I understand people wanting to try and make some money but come on....
