Sigh..stupid people..did I overreact?

[miles.ngo]

I know, wrong sport for this..but it just deals with trading in general. Did I overreact with this guy? I feel like I basically called him an idiot in a slightly more eloquent way.

If someone offers you $200 value in cards, that's a rip off.

Most buy 25-40% BV(same as cash value).

25%=$44 40%=$70

So first Rodger's values haven't changed at all in the past year? Alright..try this one then:

Aaron Rodgers Contenders - $100 Low/$175 Hi

So you're telling me people bought Aaron Rodgers Contenders auto's a year ago for $44-70? I wish! I would have bought 10 of them if they were $44! They were selling for $100-$125; just like they are right now.

In the case of the Ultimate Collection auto, you have to consider it's only one of three different variants of his on-card autographs in his true rookies. In 2005, he had the Exquisite RAP /99; his SPA RAP /99; ad the Ultimate Collection autograph. That's about a third of the normal production of a high-end..people take that limited print run into account. That's the only reason why DeAngelo Williams or Jay Cutler on-card rookie AU's cost so much.

Every case is different, and this is just another one.

Again, thanks for your time. Enjoy the day, I'm very glad the government came through for you--best of luck in your future endeavors.

Please tell me I didn't overreact. I'll post the card if you guys want to see what's in question.

I don't think you overreacted at all. For some reason some collectors think there is a difinitive formula between BV and SV, this just isn't the case. BV has become for the most part obsolete, and most collectors realize that and try to abide by that. Some cards may fall into that 40% of BV SV range, but thats not how it works for everything.

With all that being said, I don't think you overreacted. My guess is that the person in question is either young or new to the buying and trading world, and just isn't fully aware of the ins and outs yet.

should have PMed this to you miles instead of posted usernames...

 

[sneekc]

Sounds more like he tried to lowball you and he's a moron. I cant stand it when children do that crap.

 

[cgilmo]

I really wish the names were edited out just to spare the drama of him seeing this and starting something.


But heh, I don't think either party really did anything wrong. That is just the kinda things that happen when side a's expectations don't match side b.

you shouldn't have posted the guys user name (it's a fellow board member right?), but if I'm reading it right you mentioned cashvalue of trade cards and he just assumed bv, and then went off, also the first offer was silly, not because of the amount but because you filled him in prior to what you needed, i would have given up as well.

Sorry guys; it's actually a member of another board..just edited it though.
