What is your "FAVORITE" seller expression in description?

One of the favorites I get a laugh out of every single time is:

"...........PSA ready!"

Now, does this mean they have it in the Card Saver for you or what? image

I know, there are many others, but this one just jiggles my funny bone!

My way of thinking is, isn't any card " PSA READY"? After all, just put
it in a card saver and there you go!

    I hate...'NICE' in the title of a raw card auction for some reason. Always in caps too, so it really "sells" you on it image
  • TheCARDKidTheCARDKid Posts: 1,496 ✭
    Should be mint!

    Should be a 9.

    An 8....sooooooo close to a 9.

    A 7++++....should be an 8.

    Where are the 8's that are really 4's, because of a wrinkle on the back? Where are the cards that have been cracked and resubmitted, they were 8's 6 months ago, and now they're a 10.

    "WOW" or "LQQK" or smoething similar in the title.image

    When I see an auction with one of those, I just skip right over it!!!

    Nothing tops the guys who put "LOW POP" - usually followed by "one of 67" - in every one of their auctions.

    "Nice" is usually about a PSA 5. "Real nice" is about a 4.

    I also like "SGC92 = PSA 9!"

    Corners so sharp they could cut your fingers!
    PSA ready cards! Why didn't they send them in?
    Attic find! Doesn't happen much any more!
    I don't know what I have here but I think it is rare and valuable! When there's a million of them listed on ebay!
    A complete set like this never shows up on ebay!! When there are 5 already listed.
    Vending quality cards when most look like they have been in spokes!

    Those are my favorites!

    High end for the grade (I"m waiting for "low end for the grade" or "overgraded". BMW is honest about this, as is Duncan on this board, but that's about all I've seen)
    low pop (yeah, you're the only jacknut to have a PSA 1 graded in this set)
    Belonged to my boyfriend/girlfriend/grandpa/german sheppard
    Cards found in an attic/bible/floorboard/rolltop desk

    And for some reason if an auction description ends with "God Bless" more times than not it's a smokescreen for a scam.

    Gotta love it when a seller list a card as PSA 8 and your ready to bid, click on the pic and oh....seller forgot to mention the qualifier.

    I forgot about "Vending find" or "From Vending." Who cares how the cards were originally packaged now that they're in slabs?

    my least favorite is sellers who say a raw card is gem mint and will easily grade a psa 10. They even put "PSA/BGS 10?" in the auction title on the raw card and list it in the PSA catagory....

    Then when I look at the sellers other items i see all these psa graded cards for auction but all of em are psa 8s and psa 9s and not one psa 10.

    If that raw card would be a 10 like the seller says then I can bet my life on it that the seller would have had it graded since they have had all those other psa graded cards for sale...

    I guess these sellers are hoping for someone that just fell off the turnip truck...

    BTW I have ocean front property for sale in Indiana if anyone is intrested...

    I just listed a set on ebay using the very term just mentioned "pack fresh". Does this make me an idiot? I did pull every card in the past week from FRESH PACKS. Hmm.
  • diamondmandiamondman Posts: 2,020
    How about these:
    1. I donot combine shipping or I combine shipping but does not tell how much of a discount you get.
    2. the title says Mickey Mantle PSA but doesn't give the number so you click on it and it is PSA 2 MK

    Here is a gripe I have on buyers, seller states I ship only to USA or minimum 10 or more feedback and then with 5 seconds left the winner from the north pole with -1 rating bids and wins.

    Change your ebay preferences when you imput the listing. They will not be allowed to bid.

    Good day,
    I have a question about the Pack Fresh too. I open a lot of Packs and when I sell the ones I don't want, should I not mention that I just took them out of a pack, when in fact I just did??? Same with Vending. I have over 200 Vending boxes and when I pull a lot to list I mention that they are from vending, should I not???

    I seriously can not stand the wild overuse of the word RARE on eBay. A PSA 9 Griffey Upper Deck rookie is not rare people!!!!!!! I also hate when sellers have a reference to a discount in their names, like Rock Bottom Sports, and then try to sell items for twice what they're worth.

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    The ones that chap my butt are the guys that try to convince the buyers that they are just some "poor innocent honest John" that just accidently stumbled onto a pile on 50's cards or are selling them for their great aunt's next door neighbor. Please take advantage of me as I am just a poor ignorant guy selling these gem mint cards (but I am not a grader) and I "think" I have heard of this Aaron guy once before and it looks like a PSA 9 to me (but I am not a grader) and I just don't know anything about cards or grading cards but I do know the difference between the 52 Topps cards and the 64 Topps Giant cards somehow.
    Then you research their previous sales and feedbacks and cards have been their staple for several years. But "don't get upset if I sell you garbage for cards when I made them sound like "gem mint in my honest humble opinion" - because remember now - "I am not a grader"

    Tonight it is the word "VENDING"!! Seems like every new football set and lot up for sale from the 70's has that attached to it! Sounds like every card back then came from a vending box!
