All that stuff and the pic you use is an 86 TT Bonds?

Linky

EDIT to add: You may be just a tad bit overly optimistic with the pricing.

BobS · September 28, 2010 11:39PM

Wow - nomination for best use of a 10,000 word paragraph in your first post award.

Thanks for the headache.

Oh - good luck with the sale.

AkbarClone · September 28, 2010 11:51PM

Do you think if someone offered him 60% of the sell price, he would laugh and post a thread about the lowball offer?

(Nothing personal ktw6ey-just referencing another popular topic)

I do find it strange that the one picture he posts in that auction is not even PSA graded--especially the way he hypes the PSA graded aspect of this collection. I would suggest adding many more pictures--and make most of them PSA graded cards. Good luck with the sale.

lsutigers1973 · September 28, 2010 11:53PM

<< I would suggest adding many more pictures--and make most of them PSA graded cards. >>

And reduce the price by about 85%.

Hallco · September 28, 2010 11:58PM

"1993 SP #273 Johnny Damon (Foil) (8)"

Are you willing to sell me just this card and adjust your asking price down to $39,997.00 or best offer?

AkbarClone · September 29, 2010 12:01AM

Just to play math geek for a second--$6,000 would be the 85% off price.

K · September 29, 2010 12:58AM

WOW

Seriously is this a joke?

Mdube16 · September 29, 2010 1:53AM

Will you accept a suitcase full of cash?

Morgoth · September 29, 2010 1:59AM

Will you accept a suitcase made out of cash?

swartz1 · September 29, 2010 4:10AM

seems like a good deal - good luck with the sale...

ktw6ey · September 29, 2010 10:40AM

Pictures have been added per request. 60% would be a perfectly reasonable offer for whoever mentioned it.

corvette1340 · September 29, 2010 12:57PM

will you accept a suitcase made out of chrome?

otwcards · September 29, 2010 1:39PM

You might want to consider noting that the numbers in parenthesis are the grades and not quantities.

Good luck, but you'll need something more like a miracle to get anything close to your asking price.

nightcrawler · September 29, 2010 10:28PM

I'm stunned.

Dboneesq · September 29, 2010 10:43PM

DADDY, CHECK OUT THE PRICE ON THIS EBAY AUCTION!

K · September 30, 2010 1:06AM

You're welcome!

K · September 30, 2010 1:16AM

Refusing to break up this collection and only sell as a whole you'll be lucky to get $3000.

If you break it up and sell individually you could possibly scratch $5000.

$40k is a pipe dream from some fantasy land at best.

Good Luck

BTW I'm sure if you did decide to break it up, you could move a lot of that stuff on these boards. I'd even throw offers in on a couple.

Read my responses above, I totally agree.

There are quite a few I would be interested in but I also wouldn't mind buying the whole lot for $3000 and then do the work to make a little extra.

ktw6ey · September 30, 2010 2:37AM

Thanks for everybody's input. I have decided to go with everyone's advice, and I'm now willing to break up the collection and sell off groups of cards from the set. If you are interested, please send me a PM or an email at the address provided above and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

Also, thanks to the person who cleaned up this list. It definitely is a lot easier to ready now. The $40,000 was probably a little ambitious, but I wanted to see if anyone was interested in making an offer in the $15-30k range.

Send me your best offers for the cards you want! Thanks!

Turn on your private message function.

(Guess he didn't like the bold...)

ktw6ey · September 30, 2010 2:57AM

Private messages have been turned on (sorry I'm new to the forum).

I liked the bold by the way, but it didn't copy over from your post. I'll go back through and do the bolding later when I have more time.

Also, I reduced the price of the collection by 20%.

Can you throw up a couple prices so a general idea can be had on pricing???

thanks

ktw6ey · September 30, 2010 6:55AM

I'll work on adding prices soon. Also if you send me a PM and give me a general idea of what you're interested in off the list, I'll give you some quicker estimates.

lsutigers1973 · September 30, 2010 8:49AM

<< Can you throw up a couple prices so a general idea can be had on pricing???

Yeah, take VCP average and add about 50%.

If you want to break up the lot, you are going to have to get off the idea that your cards are worth more than everybody elses. Based on your PM you seem to think this lot will sell for $10-12k. Considering that about half the cards are completely unsellable by themselves, you might need to be more realistic or give up.

BTW, everyone on this forum is familiar with VCP. I usually would never post a PM on a public forum but feel it is necessary on this thread.

Here is part of the sellers response when I offered to pay VCP average for 5 cards and I quoted VCP average:

<< As for the cards you listed, my prices would probably be higher than those averages. If you are willing to pay more than those averages, I'll definitely listen to offers but I completely understand if you don't. >>

swartz1 · September 30, 2010 9:58AM

<< I'll work on adding prices soon. Also if you send me a PM and give me a general idea of what you're interested in off the list, I'll give you some quicker estimates. >>

I'll wait until you post the prices...

thanks...

ktw6ey · September 30, 2010 10:00AM

He offered to pay $0.99 for one of the cards and the other averages will lower than they were selling on eBay for. Prices will be fair if you don't try to lowball me. Feel free to send offers. Thanks.

<< He offered to pay $0.99 for one of the cards and the other averages will lower than they were selling on eBay for. Prices will be fair if you don't try to lowball me. Feel free to send offers. Thanks. >>

BTW - VCP is the average price of what that particular card is getting on ebay and many of the other auction companies. It is fairly close to market price on most items.

swartz1 · September 30, 2010 10:09AM

take away the %'s...

I am sure that is what you were being offered...

lsutigers1973 · September 30, 2010 12:12PM

OK, here is the PM I sent with VCP averages.

The $0.99 was what the 99 Bowman Chrome Crawford sold for last time. Oh yeah, the sale before that was $1.47.

Here's my PM:

<< These are the ones I am interested in. I added VCP average sales prices for each card. Feel free to make me an offer I can not refuse.

If you are interested in selling the entire lot, I would still be interested.

1984 Fleer Update #U-93 Kirby Puckett PSA 8 VCP average $53.24
1984 Topps Tiffany #8 Don Mattingly PSA 8 VCP average $39.60
1987 Fleer Update Glossy #U-68 Greg Maddux PSA 9 VCP average $5.22
1990 Leaf #300 Frank Thomas PSA 9 VCP average $12.18
1999 Bowman Chrome #440 Carl Crawford PSA 9 Last 2 sold for $0.99 and $1.47

Thanks,
Bill >>

lsutigers1973 · September 30, 2010 12:14PM

<< Prices will be fair if you don't try to lowball me. >>

And in response to his fair prices, his response was that his cards are worth more than VCP averages.

Ahmanfan · September 30, 2010 2:18PM

Maybe we should start paying more than VCP averages... so that cards produced in the late 70s through 90s are actually worth something again.

nightcrawler · September 30, 2010 6:09PM

I'm still stunned, but on the bright side, I ask nothing from no one. Being stunned is good enough for me.

Morgoth · September 30, 2010 11:31PM

I never got a PM back from my last offer

K · October 1, 2010 12:05AM

ktw6ey

I understand you want to turn a profit, but you won't make anything if you continue to try and gouge everyone.

The image you have in your head of the hobby I think is a bit skewed.

The fact is the people that make up this message board ARE the hobby.

If you are unwilling to accept their terms then you need to part ways and start collecting coins and stamps or whatever.

ktw6ey · October 1, 2010 12:56AM

Sorry for the delay. I just replied to your PM.

ktw6ey · October 1, 2010 12:59AM

In response to K's post, I've been on eBay as a Power Seller for a long time. I'm not trying to gouge prices whatsoever, but I know how much I could sell them for on eBay and would need to get similar prices here to let them go. When people offer me say $200 for a group of 5 cards, and one of the 5 cards by itself is worth more than $200 than obviously I'm not going to be willing to sell for that. These are the type of offers I've been getting and they are just not going to work. If you have a fair offer, I'd be more than happy to listen.

lsutigers1973 · October 1, 2010 1:02AM

<< These are the type of offers I've been getting and they are just not going to work. If you have a fair offer, I'd be more than happy to listen. >>

You mean my offer using VCP averages, some of which were higher than the last recorded sales?

Good luck getting ABOVE average eBay sales prices when you list them on eBay.

EDIT to add: I sure don't see anything about this PoweSeller status claim for the past bazillion years

I suggest you sell the cards on Ebay then, and please post the links so we can follow along.

Morgoth · October 1, 2010 3:22AM

The issue is the card K was talking about is not worth the $200 dollars.

Maybe at one time, when Lincecum just won a Cy Young the card was going for that. In today's market that card is a $150 to $175 max card.

If you have more money into that then $175 then sorry, right now you are going to lose some money if you sell.

People on Ebay do what everyone one here does, looks at completed auction prices to formulate their max bids.

The cards are in the wrong holders to get max profit (BGS sells better) anyway.

The best bet you have if you want max money is to wait and hope each person has a huge game or season and sell then.

What people are quoting you is NOW market value.

Being a Powerseller counts FOR NOTHING amongst ebay buyers. They are all about value. None of your cards are rare or meet any of the qualities card sellers would have for buying from a trusted source (raw vintage, hard to find, condition).

ktw6ey · October 4, 2010 9:56AM

No longer trying to sell the collection as a whole. Looking for offers on my rare refractor and autograph rookie cards from the past decade. Send me offers!

<< No longer trying to sell the collection as a whole. Looking for offers on my rare refractor and autograph rookie cards from the past decade. Send me offers! >>

We tried that but your stuff is apperantly worth more than everyone elses.

Prices have come down. Already made some deals and in the process of making more. Let me know what you are interested in. Thanks!
