Looking for a psa 10 base set HOLO.
I have cash and am ready to make a deal, not looking for any one specifically.
Just looking for a seller with some numbers in mind.
Paypal
Which card are you looking for and what is your offer?
Any card?
What’s your offer,
this thread is very specific

Yeah I went ahead and fixed the description.
I really don’t know what seller has what holo, so the first one to make a decent deal with me seems good to me.
I’ll sell you one for $1,000,000.00.

I would prefer nintales, anything is ok though
Some friendly advice. Were dealing with cards here in the multiple thousand dollar range. Like 3k to 20k dollar range, we’re talking about some of the most valuable cards in the hobby and some of the safest investments you can make.
If you truly have the money and any card will do, why not go to ebay and pick up a card from there? To me it seems like you just want to get any of these cards at the lowest price possible with the intention to sell for a profit (whether it be flipping it now or in a few years). There’s nothing inherently wrong with this and I don’t know what your true intention is, I’m just telling you what it looks like from the outside.
Being vague about what card you want and the price you’re willing to pay doesn’t help you here. It suggests you don’t know the value of what we’re dealing with here because if you did, you’d know that it really makes a difference if you’re looking for a Chansey or a Charizard. It also suggests that this is an impulsive/emotional purchase since you have not specified a clear goal and it appears as if you have not done adequate research into what these cards are actually selling for.
You will very likely not find what you’re looking for. This is because
- It looks like you’re hunting for a deal and people have no time or need to negotiate these extremely high-demand cards
- It looks like you don’t know what you want or have something to hide which makes doing a sale with you risky
Look, I don’t know your true intentions or how knowledgeable you are, nor do I particularly care. The only thing that matters here is perception. My advice is that if you want one of these cards, choose one, choose a price (or at least a ballpark range) and you will have much better luck.
I don’t mean to come off as abrasive, I really am just trying to help. If you wish not to take my advice, feel free to ignore this post.

The funny thing is people making 0 offers get the most attention.
If you look at his post history, he always does this. He’s also looking to flip, but he doesn’t know if he has to pay taxes. lol
He’s been around for over a year, he knows how things work around here. 
OP, if you’re serious be more specific. How much are you paying for non starter holos? You mentioned a Ninetales, what’s your budget?
yeah this thread is garbage, can’t we make a rule:
If you don’t offer prices, your thread get’s removed. Because this is no good on the forum and it’s starting to get a bit annoying like an oil stain spreading everywhere.
To me this forum is for serious collectors and posts like this are kinda damaging the image of this forum.

I personally think a better rule would simply be if you don’t like someone’s buy thread then just don’t post. Why does it bother people so much if people don’t post prices when most of you don’t even have said item for sale? Are you telling me every person who has replied here even has a psa 10 1st ed base set holo to sell the guy? Too many people are too bothered by what other people are doing and I don’t get the need to point it out. If you have the card for sale and ask them to put out an offer which they then don’t… then just move on it’s really that simple.

By the number of likes posts like Robbie’s get its clear many feel the same way. I wouldn’t just disregard those sentiments.
This is not a sales sight for flippers, lowballers, and time wasters. This is a collectors site where the members try to help each other. Requiring newbies who come in with their wants and what they’d pay is reasonable to many.
I know I’m involved with e4 because it’s different than Reddit, Facebook, beach, gym, ig, etc. I like the idea that e4 usually skips the hustle and competition for sales. We discourage sellers for those reasons too.
I just hope we stay unique and stay far away from the monkey see, monkey do mentality,

I totally get your point, however, here’s my opinion on the matter:
- People not stating their buying prices are highly likely to be flippers trying to get the best prices, that doesn’t work on here.
- Most of the collectors on here don’t even bother contacting you if you don’t state a price.
- Nearly every buying post I see on here without a price is getting lots of discussion.
- Lots of buying threads without result will cause noise, making it harder for people to make deals (less overview)
So I am questioning myself, what are the pro’s? both for buyer and seller
For the seller, it’s only a hasstle. You have to take more effort to sell an item than when you know what the person is offering already
If the buyer is unsure of the price he should rather ask it first in a different thread
The only pro I see here would be for the buyer. If he states a price that’s to low, he is not going to get any bites. If he does not state a price he might have hopes of buying the card cheaper. Most people on here are seasoned collectors, they nearly all use Ebay so they know their prices. Sellers aren’t going to give much better deals on here than on Ebay (besides maybe taking away Ebay fees)
After awhile it becomes irritating looking at buy threads that are simply a waste of time due to lack of information or just poor information. I find myself skipping over threads because I am irritated reading through buy threads that are essentially pointless. This becomes an issue as I am sure quite a few people on here ignore buy threads because a chunk of them are a waste of time, it will essentially kill off serious buy threads due to a lack of people having interest in looking through them. Eventually people will stop wasting their efforts on here and use other gateways to purchase, and I think that will take away from what this forum has to offer. With time, quality buy threads will disappear and people will invest their time elsewhere and this forum will be full of threads like this.

Stating your opinion does not mean you have disregarded someone else. I am strongly in the prices make a good buy thread camp. The thing that I cannot understand is why everyone feels the need to ask for a price or mention it needs a price when either a) someone has already done so OR b) when half of the people saying this don’t have the item in question for sale. I appreciate when a seller is being approached for something that may not necessarily be for sale that making an offer is the norm but I’ve noticed more buy threads without prices and whilst I’m all for steering people in the right direction, I’m not for sarcastic or unfriendly responses to people who may be new as it means less people wanna stick around or feel comfortable posting. The post was a generalisation so nobody should feel personally attacked by this but if anyone does feel free to PM me.
Firstly where are you getting the notion that not stating a buy price means you are a flipper? You have literally nothing to back up that statement?
If most collectors don’t bother contacting people with no price then that’s fine, does it affect you in any way if someone doesn’t get a response?
The seller doesn’t need to go through the hassle as nobody is forces to do business with anyone else so if you judge someone as a waste of time based on a buy thread then just don’t waste your time…
I understand where you are coming from and I don’t necessarily even disagree with what you are saying but I just think that everyone needs to chill out on asking people to post prices and if they aren’t there just move on and ignore the post. If just one person posted saying that we normally post prices rather than 5 then the posts wouldn’t have so much discussion on them either would they?
Firstly his buy thread is literally “ANY PSA 10 1st edition HOLO base set”, clearly not someone looking for their collection. No prices mentioned & no specific reason as well as a new user. This thread is a joke and should just not be allowed, regardless of anyone responding or not imo. It is shady and has many signs of someone looking for a non-disclosed cheaper than market value price to most likely flip, not in all cases, but this has some pretty big red flags.

I guess it’s not annoying to everyone.
This has happened many times.
A newbie says they want a 1st Ed base charizard and that’s it.
You pm them asking what condition or graded etc.
Hours later they pm back and say “well what do you have?”
Later you reply you have a mint ungraded and a PSA 8.
They reply “how much for either/both?”
You tell them 1000.00.
They say they only have 400.00.
Now figure 5 of us are communicating with this guy,
Obviously very annoying.
What could have avoided all this? State what you want and what you’ll pay on the initial thread. Simple.
Anyway, that’s how I feel.

Like I have said before I AGREE with buy threads should have prices. I am not trying to promote everyone to make buy threads like this either What I do not agree with is how people can come across when offering “help”. The guy is new so maybe doesn’t know how we do things here and maybe he is going to flip the card but it shouldn’t be of any concern if you do not wish to sell them a card. Like I said ignoring a thread is an option. I know that it annoys some of you but we can all be a little more friendly I think!
