• I’m not jealous.

• I just get tired of hearing about all the tax avoidance people go through, just to get max profit they can get.

Choose 1

I did. I thought I was pretty clear on that

Wait sorry, maybe I misinterpreted that. Are you implying that all the hoops you have to jump through to avoid taxes in order to get max profit is unnecessarily burdensome or that people who avoid paying taxes are in the wrong?

I think its a complex thing when it comes to tax law. The laws should be much simpler, so everyone can benefit, but also those who avoid taxes are wrong

Another side effect of valuing privacy is that burglaries are not unheard of.

There are stories where a collector has driven a few hours away to meet someone for a sale, then come home to find their home’s been broken in and lots of high value cards stolen.

Having a postal box isn’t a bad idea if you are buying lots of higher end stuff, just to not give up your address. Also, have your pricy stuff in a vault somewhere!

Why the angry face, OP?

There’s a few very innocent sides to it as well which haven’t been mentioned here.

From a buyer’s perspective a lot of private sales stem from people simply letting others know what they’re looking for.

If you reach out to someone who has a card you’re after, or tell people in certain circles what you’re looking for, you may just find that the owner of the card gets back to you to listen to what you have to offer. When that happens they’re not going to then put it up for sale publicly if the person looking to buy has a strong offer to begin with - especially if they weren’t thinking about selling it to begin with.

From a seller’s perspective it can be a lot easier to go directly to someone you think may be interested in whatever it is you have - especially if you don’t think your item would necessarily do very well in an auction format.

From both sides it’s also usually a lot more enjoyable to buy an item in a 1 to 1 setting. A personal touch creates a nice memory about the item which you simply don’t get from a public sale.

It’s not all about tax evasion, lawyers and anonymity.
