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 ******* saint. Only a jealous person would make a post like that.

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::

yeah man

theres no other way around this. If something has a price tag on it, and you buy it then it's all fair as long as the tag is legit.

All you are doing is hating.


*edit* I missed the part about him haggling, that's kinda a ****** move

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.

You are mad at him bc he got a deal? She and her son could have easily said no. And it isnt like it is all that hard to look up the values. And if her son had two Jordan rookies Im sure he knew who Michael Jordan is and that the cards could possibly have some value. Also, when you consider the fact that they arent graded and could be fakes, the buyer is taking a risk.

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?"

?

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 don't find it that hard to believe. Not everyone follows basketball or knows how much a Jordan RC would be worth.

I know who Wayne Gretzky is and his significance to hockey. I couldn't begin to tell you how much one of his RCs go for and I collect sports cards. I've been collecting for 25+ years.

Got em in an estate sale from a 60 yr old woman who said they were her sons. She even called him up and asked how much he wanted, bargained him down to $30 total.

I couldn't tell you what that would go for either, nor the jordan offhand but i know if I found either for $15 I would assume it were not the real thing.

edit to add: or that I'd know I was ripping the person off if they were real, regardless of if it is their ignorance on what they have

to OP: what time did you get to this garage sale?

If this turns out to be the steal that it could be, people will be pissed because they weren't the ones who got in on it. Happens all the times. That's why when someone posts a steal on the boards, a bunch of these ******** run to the seller to either tell them they sold too low or to offer a few bucks more so that they can land the card.

I can't spot a fake Jordan RC from a real one. For $30, I would have taken a chance on them too.

Rivera- I'm not so sure. There are plenty of people who collected at one time that are not very knowledgeable on cards. It all depends on where you find things. Steals, even unbelieveable ones, happen all of the time. People collect for a couple of years, get away from the hobby, and have no clue what they have. Same thing with cards that are passed down. Maybe the kid could care less, has no idea what they are, and just sells them because they would rather have cash than the cards.

That's a heck of a sale by that woman. 30 dollars for two fake michael jordan rookie cards, some starting lineups, and a schmidt card is pretty good.

If by "steal" you mean some lady stole $30 from you then yes, this is a steal.
I bet you the $30 that they are fake. Just saying. The MOST reprinted card in the history of sports cards!
