    My opinion, it’s wasn’t because you told him you were a reseller. It’s because you kept explaining your thoughts on how you were going to resell AFTER he already committed to selling them to you. If I’ve learned one thing over the years, after the agreement on price has been made, pay and take possession. Anything that is said in between that CANNOT benefit you. It can only hurt the deal. Aside from that, he was already unsure about selling due to his story with his friend at the end. It was opening a wound for him.

    I don’t think it was really the reseller bit that hurt the deal. I don’t mean this negatively, but I think you talk way too much at garage sales. You’re giving people way too much information that they don’t need to know. If you’re interested in some thing, give them the money and walk away and move onto the next garage sale. That’s what I always do. And if I ever score, anything good and there’s other people around, I immediately take it to my car as fast as possible and then I continue looking around.

      @@uglyboyscloset he was respectful and decent. It's a garage sale and he has no cards with extra protection and no clue of what any are worth. So the value you can assume is basically around 50 euros. But going through the binder like he did is completely normal and didn't damage any card or decrease any value. Flipper was correct. If you offered a book for 50 cents you wouldn't be mad if someone touched it or riffled through the pages. But if it was a 500 dollar book you would treat it with way more care. But your fault if you offer it for 50 cents and people treat it like 50 cents just like you do.

As a conscientious person, it can be difficult to learn how to say "no" and confront people in a graceful way, but you have to learn those skills.

      Like stated above all the older sets have been reprinted multiple times.
      The gold square in the bottom corner is a great indicator that its 1st edition. It will also have 1st edition on the card as well.
      Reprints will have a silver square and not say 1st edition. Reprints are usually referred to as "unlimited".

      Yeah I mean apparently 9 years plus experience gets you that I guess. Frankly, it felt like he was being cheap, which to be fair is a hard habit to break

      Here’s the thing about filming your negotiations….they are you, imperfect and real. I did what I do, if you think I’m cringe or Dawn for some reason…so be it :). Ultimately your thoughts on the negotiations…could be picked apart, much like a video can…but why bother, eh?

      This one wasn’t really about being cheap…sometimes it is for sure. This was me not being sure of the item, no picker has encyclopedic knowledge. I definitely should’ve approached it differently…but it’s only stuff, and there is always another deal :)

    That woman was dismissive towards you and gestured her daughter to cut in line. What a bad example to her daughter.

    Man I feel bad. I feel like you had you're time wasted.
    Also applaud the effort of not losing your cool. That would have bugged the hell out of me

    $50 was a bargain for that binder of Yuigoh! So many iconic old school cards that are now worth quite a bit. I find it annoying how he had it out there and then decided not to sell it just cuz you would resell and make a profit. Which also makes no sense how he has an urgency for money but no urgency to sell 🤦🏽‍♂️

      he did the right thing.
      1. his binder was getting JACKED UP by someone who admittedly didnt know what they were.
      2. the guy told him, to his face, that he was buying them at a bargain to “FLIP” for more money.
      yeah, id say those 2 things combined screwed him out of the sale. KarenMom is a scapegoat. if he’d been quicker to negotiate instead of thumb-f’ing his binder mindlessly for 5 minutes he would have scored.
