Why is it that people think I paid to much?

And yet I seem to make money. No a killing but money.
Just a rant.

    Why worry what others think to begin with?

    Because your "too much" is their "impossible"

    Why post, soliciting the opinions of others, and expect to hear only those that you agree with?

    Because most are the ones that want to buy it off me....lol

    I don't mind someone saying it, if it was true. But why want to buy it and then say I paid to much.

    Just a rant, but kinda funny to much works just good for me. And I bet the people I buy off don't think it's to much.

    The truth is:

    -- a little bit is that some people don't really like to see the success of others and enjoy putting other people down

    -- some people are gristled and overlook that there are a lot of buyers out there who don't know much about the vintage card market and thus pay well over market/VCP rates, giving saavy sellers bigger margins than one might expect

    -- we, as people, are probably a bit more sensitive to criticism than we are attuned to praise, thus it resonates with us more. You have been receiving many, many compliments from the board from your pick-ups lately yet you seem to focus on the negativity. In any crowd, there will be a range of opinions and its natural that some will feel that you overpaid while many think you scored a great deal
