> [@joer](#): > > @garyis2000, would you be at all sad if someone simply bought your cards outright? I had a dream once where I listed a card for a crazy high value, but suddenly it sold because the market caught up and I was distraught. Some serious collector dream right there… I’d probably chicken out and end up with a negative:( ---

For those that can’t tell, there was never a 900,000 offer. I get people who message me on my 1st ed base complete set listing offering huge sums of money. I send them the offer, message them I accept, and I know full well they’ll never pay. I imagine there’s a small group of people who think they’re wasting my time and getting my hopes up, and find it funny. Reality, it’s less then a few seconds and I’m fully aware they’re not going to pay. ---
