a dealer at a show has his/her card way underpriced

[IndyManning18]

Buy it.
If you tell the kid the "book value," that will just give the kid more money for cigarettes and/or lap dances

Nothing wrong with that.

I used to feel a little bad about that kind of stuff, but then I realized, if I don't take advantage of it, someone else will. I might as well be the one to gain from it.

If its a kid, obviously its different, but I'm not gonna feel bad about a random dealer.

 

[Musial Collector]

what about if it's some little kid selling something and he's set up with his dad, etc.

Excuse me sir but I track this card on eBay and you are selling it for half of what it goes for. Can I give you double what you are asking for it? What is wrong with you???

 

[bigeric]

try to keep a straight face ad buy it


at the national my dad pulled a card that he put on ebay and was going for 95 and i was offered the same card for $3, so its the dealers fault he didn't know what the card sold for, especially since a lot of dealers pull stunts when they see kids

What's the point of this thread? There's nothing wrong with getting a good deal. Who cares?

 

[AKA Coastal]

Ask them if they will take less and get an even better deal!

Come on, seriously?? You're stretching don't you think?? You planning on jogging later??

huh?[/quote:a9zmwtbv]
What if the kid is blind in one eye and walks with a crutch?

 

[justinmandawg]

what kid says "daddy lets go set up a table to sell at the card show?"

um... the dad and the kid may collect and go together if the dad wants to go?
im not talking a 3-year-old but 12-15

A 15 year old should have a better idea. Now a 10-12 year old should have a parent that has some idea if they are going to sell cards or anything really.

If there is a steal at a show. I pay for the steal and walk away.

I don't know. It depends on how "underpriced" the card is.

I would have a time debating whether or not to tell the seller if it was something major (like say a....'52 Mantle for $10 or something like that). But odds are, if you are at a show the dealer is going to have some kind of idea what the card is worth.

 

[J.O.]

this happens usually with prospect cards

 

[ffgameman]

In that case I would likely be as confused as the seller.

[PaulKonerkbro]

well i could flip this around an tell you about how i convinced a seller my heyward/gilmore dual auto refractor from 07 bowman chrome would sell for $200...

 

[Dpanthers14]

its like every one can research a card just as well as i can so its there loss and my gain.

 

[KC37]

Depends for me. If I know the guy and like him I will tell them. I haven't ran in to that too much though.

That's my answer.
