If you don’t put an offer price, you probably aren’t going to get any serious responses.
I think it’s presumed that I’m offering a fair value (which can fluctuate). If someone has one to sell, we can research and discuss fair value at the time, right?
probably not, but you seem like the kind of guy thats gotta learn the hard way lol

I assumed the basis for the criticism to be that prices fluctuate considerably.
Okay, thank you for letting me know! If you’re interested in selling, please feel free to message me at your convenience.

That’s exactly my point. Most people here with inventory to sell don’t have time for price discussion if you don’t give an offer price.
Also, why would we assume you’re willing to pay a fair price if you don’t tell us what that price is?
I’m not trying to bust your cajones here, just trying to help you.
Take it or leave it.

I mean, do you have the card? If so, send me a message, as requested, and I’ll send you an offer.
You’re worried about the possible opportunity cost of taking one second (well, maybe ten seconds) to send a message and be disappointed by a resolutely low offer? (I was gonna say “lol” here, but if that’s really your attitude on the matter I don’t want to mock you)

No I don’t, I actually need this card too. As I said, I’m trying to help you make an effective WTB thread.
It has nothing to do with a disappointing low offer either, it’s about time. A lot of people here don’t want to waste time. Sure, to you it seems quick and easy enough, but you have to understand people make threads like yours everyday, and many times they aren’t making serious offers. So while you may be serious, most people won’t believe it unless you make an offer.

Thank you for the information, sir. (I wasn’t aware that WTB posts often weren’t serious and that sending a message actually had a good chance of being waste of time.)
