Should I sell early?

bbuckner22

I listed a set break of 1961 baseball on Ebay last night, all of them auctions. Today I get a message from a guy asking me to end 6 of the listings early, re-list them all with a BIN of $20 apiece. I am to message him back today to let him know when I've done that so he can purchase them. Just for grins I checked VCP on the 6 cards he asked about, $66, $53, $49, $27, $65, and $72 is what I came up with. Obviously I'm not going to do it, but how would you respond to him?

I wouldn't. He might be "using book", but that's the only legit excuse he could have for suggesting those prices.

Thank you for your interest in my auctions. I prefer not to end my auctions early and let them run to the end. I hope you understand and bid as they are all great cards. Best of luck!

I always go with something like the following:

"Thank you for the offer, but I let all of my auctions run their full duration."

I live by the rule, never stop an auction once engaged unless there is an error. never know who's has on there want list and don't want to piss off any present or future bidders.

I also respond to these type of emails real simple...."I do not stop auctions once engaged". Probably piss him off, but most understand.

if you're not kidding
please consider bidding,
but if you're a shark

Since he doesn't mind pi$$ing you off w/ ridiculous LB offers, respond in kind: "Christmas is coming, but my name ain't Santa Claus."

Please send cash to the above address.

When the cash arrives, the auctions will end.

Thank you.

Thanks, those are mine. I have not responded back to the guy. Funny, almost every time I run an auction with high end cards I get at least one laughable offer.

Please tell us who so we can add him to our bbl!

I would politely ask him what is his current drug of choice and then ask that he send some to you along with cash in an unmarked envelope.

Ask him if he will give you a reach around with that raping.....


If you want to be nice tell him based on past recent sales I will have to pass since these cards have been going for $30 to $70 a piece in this condition. If you are interested in closer to fair market value offers I may give somewhat of a break on them all but I will have to decline on selling them for about a third of what they have been going for.

His EBay ID doesn't happen to be "thenuch", does it? That guy is a 61 buyer & he extorted me last year, wound up giving me a neg because I wouldn't discount items after the fact.

If it's not him, he should still be added to any & all BBL's........

If Se Ri Pak married Jay Bell then divorced him and married Chan Ho Park then her name would be

Se Ri Pak Bell Park!!
