i've been on both ends of things and for me, lesson learned on all of it whether i benefited and later felt badly or the buyer benefited and I regretted it.
Let's all Just Breathe and to make things better - everyone send me your PJ guitar picks and all will be better
theres a dedication to this im really starting to admire )
Happy seller + happy buyer = good deal
Now let's get back to some serious issues... Where are all the picks Dave needs?? Come on people... (hey, Dave. Send me some of the doubles you get )
Nobody said he was oblivious. He's just more concerned about people calling him out for price gouging that he couldn't even ask for more than half the market value despite being in financial hardship. Honestly, this has already gotten more attention than I care for. I hear both sides.
Enjoy the AP print. And the Pixies print. And the show print. Hang them all up next to each other.
Well I guess it's nice that you feel so protective of this person, but I think he is likely a full grown adult who can make his own decisions about his selling prices.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
While I cannot disagree with what most of the OP said I still cannot help but to be amused by the post. I've seen many folks on these forums berated, dragged over the coals, called names, etc for charging too much for an item. Now a member is being called out for paying what a seller was asking because the OP thinks what the seller was asking was too low.
Feels like you can't win for losing sometimes.....
Now, is there a reason why you think the seller is just oblivious? Because most people are fully aware of the value of what they would call their holy grail.
Exactly. Everyone knows what a non AP print of Moline has gone for the last couple months... to take less than that for #1 signed, he either was in a severe rush or just wanted to give someone something cool for a "nice score." The guy bragging about it probably could have kept his mouth shut a little more if he wanted people to still think he was a cool guy. But, this shouldn't really be a huge deal. You expect the buyer to say, "that's too low, let me give you more money than you are asking for?"

Actually, that's exactly what I did when he told me what he wanted for his dabs/munk Wrigley print. I guess I'm in the minority.
1) a guy posts a sale
2) another guy buys the item in question for posted or nearly posted price
so what's the fucking problem here? who cares if he needed the money quickly. that's exactly what people do when they are in a bind; sell low for guaranteed quick cash. I've done it. I don't expect anyone to give me charity. I don't even say the reason I'm selling it for lower than average. the buyer is not "taking advantage". he is giving the seller what he asked for.

if I turned around and sold it right away that maybe be considered uncouth
Ok I've said my piece. I hear both sides. Maybe I am a naive idiot. Can we just delete this thread and move on?
no worries, there's a lot to get upset about in this forum sometimes, just need to focus on the good stuff like all the charity that goes on, and good ppl sending elwayvedder picks!
Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

Yes it would. Just a bit.
Hey I had a guy offer me $35 (and a sticker and a button) for a pick as part of a trade and I told him that was too much. I told him send me $25 instead. I know it happens. I just don't think most people expect it.
(Sorry elway, to bring up picks)

there was no harm no foul...between the sellers and buyer, and its done and over with.
the harm is reading this post.
people bitch about everything here... good price, bad price, ebay stuff, not getting items cause it sold out to fast.
guess what people sometimes it sucks, but that's life sometimes too.
and mixing up a bucket of shit will not make it smell any better.
