"These cards are commonly referred to as "solo-rookies" and often are more collectable
than their first year rookies that are paired up with some infamous player."

Infamous? Like, for instance, El Guapo?

Well maybe not.

Hey, he said "have a blessed day" so he must be ok!!

milbroco · October 7, 2008 9:56AM

I have never heard the phrase "solo Rookie". Has anyone here ever heard that before?
Bob

jeffcbay · October 7, 2008 10:03AM

I wouldn't buy from this guy on general principal...

WinPitcher · October 7, 2008 10:19AM

Bob I have never heard that term used either.

It goes without saying.

Steve

WinPitcher · October 7, 2008 10:20AM

Ok, I'll take it for a dollar ten.

Steve

JeremyDie1 · October 7, 2008 10:25AM

The seller is a board member here.

WinPitcher · October 7, 2008 10:30AM

In that case I'll up my offer to a dollar twenty five.

Steve

hofautos · October 7, 2008 10:54AM

Yea, that's me...

I thought it was a good idea, but it seems no one here likes the concept...oh well.
As for the solo rookie, i know i didn't "coin" the phrase, i read it somewhere else.

Everybody sets ridiculous Buy it nows anyway, I just am saying, yes, the buy it now is ridiculous...just make an offer...

anyway, it was just an idea...i have sold a few, but mostly watchers "watching"....lol

hofautos · October 7, 2008 10:55AM

As long as someone else spammed my auctions...THANKS...i will offer free shipping to board members...

"I thought it was a good idea, ..."

There is little way to know if something is a "good idea"
without trying it.

I would let 'em run, and see how it goes.

Doing this eliminates the possibility of someone using the Microsoft cash back incentive to buy your items. If a BIN is fair for the buyer and the seller the cash back is a bonus to both, The seller gets his full amount, the buyer saves 20% or more, and the only one who sees a financial hit is microsoft. It's a win-win when you sell something to a buyer using the discount, especially when they may not have purchased the item without the discount.

no it doesn't - the buy it nows are ridiculous anyway.
Every live.com i used, i bargained with the seller, agreed to a price, and he changed the buy it now for me. I recieved over $300 so far, and just did another $160 that way.

This guy had a BIN of $500.
I offered him $250, and he said he would do it off ebay for $250, and I told him i needed it on ebay so i could use live.com and we agreed to $265, and he changed the price.
My net was $180

jeffcbay · October 8, 2008 3:53AM

Here's another moron... KEN Ripken Jr?? $500?!

TZAHL · October 8, 2008 6:14AM

What does everyone have a cousin mean? I've not heard that saying.

hofautos · October 8, 2008 6:36AM

<< What does everyone have a cousin mean? I've not heard that saying. >>

I guess it wasn't very clear...I am just saying everyone knows someone that will "buy the card", if the bidding is too low. It's very rare you will see a "real steal"....
I guess it is just my way of saying I just favor the "best buy" over the "supposed" auctions. I will remove that remark from my next auctions.
