Looking for any advice:
Have an associate that I have bought few hundred dollars of stuff through the years at flea market, local toy show and garage sale. He lives a couple streets over so we see each other few times a year and I always am friendly. I have overpaid for some stuff and gotten deals on others. Anyways, the guy called me the other day to come check out his old sports illustrateds and other mostly sports related publications. Some programs, old Beckett’s, etc. He has about 1000 we will be going through. Right now he is charging me 4-5 per publications since I am first person to go through it. He has his own stash in a book case that he will hopefully let me Atleast look at once we get through other stuff. I have known guy for 5 years, always am respectful and nice. He treats it as a business then a hobby. The publications (1,000) are well taken care of probably 20% of si’s from 60s and 70s are no labels which is what I am cherry picking. Seems like guy wants to unload, how do I go about making reasonable offer of $1500 for whole lot when guy is tough nut crack? He wants to squeeze every penny out of any type of deal. I know that once he puts these mags out at flea market the conditions will be ruined and most people don’t pay more than $2 for most publications.
