@papafrankgod

I love that you always keep that sense of humor, many top sellers just adopt this serious mature “grown up” persona to mask
themselves. Keep it up Scott !

I have to let scumbagpratte respond when necessary!

@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:(

I get offers & messages all the time for the illustrator I have listed, but this one was gold. Message starts from the bottom:

He tried making a power move and taking the gun from your holster, but it backfired. That must only work on those without a head for business, or really need the money.

My actual thought for people like this: If this is how they start negotiating, how will the actual deal play out?

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.

Lol. Maybe he’d be taken more seriously if his name wasn’t complete nonsense.

I think he passed out on his keyboard while choosing eBay id and just ran with it
