    So they would give me $6.60 for this. SMR pricing is utterly useless even the Apr is not very reliable since the market has moved so drastically

    even if my initials were SMR, i wouldn't name my acquiring collectibles buisness "SMR", so i'm guessing that'll be their spiel. i responded directly w/ what i thought to their spam email and hadn't heard a word back. if i were smarter, i woulda let them run their pitch just to have a lil free entertainment.

    They have been selling on eBay under that name for a long time.

    Yes, I've bought a few things from them. They are legit as far as buying from. I've never sold anything to them.

    I've gotten a couple of items from them on eBay and also their physical store location. Everything went smoothly and I'm happy with all my purchases. I haven't sold anything to them yet -- but I am thinking about asking what they would pay for a few cases of cards I have from the late 80's early 90's...

    I think SMR are the initials of the owner and it's a coincidence.

    purchases went well. got it. but the spam email scouring the registry which is linked to a periodical named smr w contradictory prices is the issue here, right?

    Steve Rosenblum. Bought a few things over the years from SMR. Never sold anything, though I've gotten the email and had some correspondence back/forth.
