    Lopsided trading

    Absolutely! Ive had some back and forth to clarify and was able to work out a trade.(had a recent one asking me to look and see if there was anything on his trade list that I wanted for a card he wanted since his proposal was lopsided. Im thinking more along the lines of no communication or the...

    Lopsided trading

    Actual interaction from a proposal....Your 1980s junk wax are worthless so, you need to send me 5 to 1 to make it worthwhile....from the exact same "worthless" set (every card in that set was "worth" less than .10)

    Lopsided trading

    I was trying to be open to anything, but it seems to have come back to bite me in the form of frustration. One guy proposed he wanted $40 worth of rookies (2 cards) above what he was sending since he was "helping me out", but he was the one that proposed the trade to begin with..lol the other...

    Lopsided trading

    That would make sense to me, if I was selling or looking for $ for $ trades.(Like a business?) I'm just seeing a lot of lopsided proposals, with no communication at all or a demand that I should just trade it because they want it. Had a guy I traded amicably with in the past...ask to trade a...

    Lopsided trading

    In retrospect since I'm still new at online trading, Im missing the in-person aspect. Some people will try to take advantage if they can, sometimes you're just not on the same page, and sometimes you can work something out. Im just not used to people not sending a message or not replying to...

    Lopsided trading

    That gives a better idea of what you mean. In my very limited trading exp, a lot will refer to book value only when it supports thier position. I dont get bothered when someone proposes a lopsided trade, just when they are indignant because of "reasons" and not anything else to support thier...

    Longshot ask???

    Just an update I wanted to share....I finally found the 1992 team set for $16 and as a bonus the same day found a 1993 Classic Rick Mirer Auto....neither are valuable but have technically been chasing both since 1998

    Lopsided trading

    I may be totaling missing what your saying. Are you saying that you respond by telling them you expect a fair trade? The specific trade offer Im thinking about was a dozen cards ($25) for a single card @ $80...I could care less about RC for RC (Im aware some people only trade RC-RC, auto-auto...

    Lopsided trading

    I am curious how others approach lopsided trades. I dont mind someone making a lopsided proposal (in thier favor) but do mind when you make a reasonable (or at least more even) counter, and they respond all indignant like you're the unreasonable one. (like they were hoping I didnt have a clue on...

    "Rookies"

    What is crazy to me, is that I saw a $10 auto SN250 (historic sales) card sell for $65 and then the same exact card sell for $37 two days later but a SN25 sold for $17....not even a current player, nor a HOFer....just doesnt make sense

    "Rookies"

    Am I simply behind the times or is there an uptick on advertising cards as rookie cards when they clearly are not. Recently found a lot of Hank Aaron cards (incl rookie card)for a reasonable price, upon closer examination I saw they were all 2001 reprints (high retail of $15??) also had a guy...

    Tips on organizing card collection???

    Still working on "digitizing" card collection (137K online with 10K or more to go if I can stop myself from buying cards) and organizing cards better. I just dont think my methods are very efficient. Currently trying to get same brands in the boxes, but find myself constantly reshuffling to...
