    Guys a jerk. Puts them on the table, then pulls them? Waste of time. I would have told him to go pound salt.

      Thanks John - he lost out on some cash with his fear of leaving money on the table. Definitely a waste of time.

    You are in the right No question. I deal in mostly cards. From what I could see most weren’t in great shape. $5 might have been high. The scratch offs were issued in 2 yrs. 1970 the inside is white 1971 the inside is red. If any of the boxes are scratched the value immediately drops. I’m going to your store to see if the Elston Howard pin is still there

      Thanks Mark - I think some were scratched off and some had writing. And I agree the condition wasn't great across the board.

    Your point is fair. He mislead you. Plus they were raw and rough. He should have stuck by his initial statement

    Lol the funny part was when he said he paid a lot for the cards but had them all disorganized just thrown randomly in a box. I would’ve left too. At least the Jerseys made up for it

    That seller was terrible, in hindsight maybe dig out two or three and see if he's reasonable on them first then keep digging or walk when he starts quoting eBay listings. Cool video, easy sub, cheers

    You were patient with that seller. Those cards were in really bad condition, low end of the spectrum. I would of of immediately just made an offer of $100 for the lot and explain why.
    Then for him to not want to sell them after looking up a few on eBay is just brutal. I wouldn’t deal with that type of seller.

    • @vintagesportflips
      @vintagesportflips  Рік тому +2

      Yeah the condition definitely left something to be desired. I think I didn't show this, but there were a bunch of cards that were stuck together too. I generally like to buy in bulk myself, but he quoted me $1000 for the box which seemed insanely high - plus he probably would have balked and started looking stuff up if I had even agreed to that. 🤣

      Thanks Fernando - Yeah those were great - the 4th one sold right as a I published the video. I am guessing he didn't look them up - If I had looked them up there I wouldn't have negotiated the price down as well.

    The cards looked to be in pretty rough condition, but definitely a good era. If he wasn’t going to sell them, he shouldn't have had them out on the table. I would have looked quick and made a decent offer.

    As soon as I saw he was on ebay I would have bounced. It's a damn flea market . And clearly he doesn't care about the cards throwing them in a box. That was a weird interaction. A seller that doesn't want to make money at a flea market , lol 😆 . The ones I go too they won't let you leave if you look remotely interested in something.

    • @vintagesportflips
      @vintagesportflips  Рік тому

      Yeah I for sure would have bounced if hadn’t already spent 20 minutes there. And I agree, most flea marketers are eager to not have to take stuff home

    Can't blame you for being annoyed at the seller (I mean the non-seller) after getting an estimate on the price before taking the time to go through the boxes. He had you do all the work and then started seeing dollar signs when looking at the active listings - no doubt for cards in much better condition. Amateur hour.

    I don't like you re-sellers that's why the hobby in buying vintage or cards in general is very hard now at days to buy ,the passion is lost ,it's just business..but that guy was a piece of trash for putting out cards for sale in not selling them to you .
