Excellent vid. You could never buy at those rates (70-80%) in my area. It’s all about if you want to sell or buy at market value. Nobody wants to feel like they lost.

Totally fair! I’ll never pressure anyone or fault them for wanting to sell/buy at full comps.

Couldn’t agree more with buying and selling at 70-90% of comps. Been a long time collector but very new in the selling aspect so this was very insightful. Thanks!
@SamRothstein11 ай бұрын
eBay minus fees, supplies, insurance = 85% which is in my opinion, the true cash value of a card. The comments about how I’m ripping people off in that range are ignorant at best. I have never and will never pressure anyone to sell me anything if they don’t want to.

70-90% is totally fair. The only exception is if it's something really unique and you can work away from comps a bit. Especially stuff that are hobby exclusive or stuff before the whole over printing of retail products.

@@SamRothstein not exactly sure where you’re coming from but Salem isn’t too bad of a drive from Indy considering it’s all interstate. It’s usually a pretty solid show man. 50 tables and usually some BIG cards. October 14 is the next one, I’ll be set up!

Buying is definitely hard when you're trying to buy at 60-70%. Strictly an observation, no hate.

I try to buy at that for cheap stuff, otherwise it’s just not at all worth the time.

@@SamRothstein I completely get it. When I set up I try to be around 70% as well. That being said, with all the breakers and repackers paying 85-90% it’s hard to compete. I’ve definitely got more picky about what I’m buying when setting up

I buy bulk lots and then resell on eBay, I can’t see how you can make money from buying cards at 80%. I’m sure you do but aren’t the margins too small??

Reality is your more of a collector than a business. Other collectors know 70 percent is too low. Dealing with anybody without a brick and mortar store is more like trading with a buddy. Any trade deals should be comp to comp. Not trying to insult you.. but your more of a buddy. Coming from another 'dealer/business' Everybody thinks they are a business paying Forty dollars for 1 table 1 day a week. Keep it a hobby

I don’t think having a Brick and Mortar store is a requisite for considering this a business, but I understand your point.
