I have made a few attmepts to buy. So far no luck. Dealer want high book for cards that sell very little if ever. Should I keep trying.

I've been able to add some SPs to my 2002 Heritage football set via Beckett, and also have gotten some good deals on autographed cards. You're right, a lot of the listings are at (or even above) book ... but there are some decent deals around depending on what you're looking for.

I placed 3 separate orders for common singles as I looked locally for years. All orders ended up being cancelled because the items weren't in stock.

I emailed 3 people heard back from one. I thought I made a decent offer 19 copies of 1999 Topps chrome WB of course 14.00 dlvd. Was I out of line?

I buy off Beckett Marketplace frequently and even though the prices are high, there's a lot of decent stuff to be bought. Just a couple of days ago I received an order of some nice Blakes [paid around $80 for them] and even though I overpaid, it's worth it because of the cards.

Basically it depends on what you need and if any other place has it [eBay, etc.] because the Marketplace is expensive.

I think the biggest reason for the high prices is the lack of any cost to list them. Plus, if you are listing on Beckett marketplace, you have a tendency to believe Beckett prices which are way out of line anyway
