LMFAO.
Ultimatums and deadlines are definitely incentives for sellers to be receptive of your discounted price... Not. I would sell a book (or anything) for less to someone with class and manners.
I think these poor manners stem from never working in the customer service field. You really learn to appreciate (and use) manners and respect when dealing with nice people vs b-holes.
I am far from a "nice" person but I will be on my best behavior when trying to get something for a discounted price. Whether it's because I value it for less, or just don't have the budget close enough, doesn't matter. Sellers are people, too.
That's exactly how I took it. I was actually willing to negotiate to a slightly higher price and offered something close. His response was simply "good luck with the sale." It was as if he thought because he had money he could treat people as if they were nothing. His name is a reference to a chromosome disorder and an organization that studies it. I figure he must be someone who makes decent money and carries a god syndrome because of it. Sometimes the worst kind of people.

I dealt with him on a recent sales thread here. I had listed an issue for 1300 and he came out with a PM that said "based on recent sales and a 10% reduction for not listing on Ebay I offer 975. This offer expires in 5 hours.."
It was very pretentious.

Towards the end of my time selling on the boards actively here people asked similar questions. They wondered how or why my books sold so quickly. Admittedly, there were some tremendous deals in my threads, while other stuff was probably closer to market. There is a psychology to how you do these threads, how you market them etc. Dale does a good job at it. There's definitely a blue print. October (Andy) and I were doing it before Dale, and before we did it, Nik (who some of you will remember) and Nick Beckett did it. Two key components are putting up some hot/key books and being willing to not max out and to give deals. That helps sell your other books. That sentiment is somewhat gone from many of today's sellers here. I don't blame them but it's a frenzy when you think you might get a WWBN 32 for 25% off but you don't know what book is coming next. Dale is also the only guy on here where there is a true frenzy anymore, except when October comes back on and does one of his sales. It's an annual tradition and he's grading fairly and accurately on raw stuff -- listing a huge amount all at once.
Yes, definitely strategy and that is where it gets crazy. Post some non keys and pause. Then hit with a big key and machine gun post other keys while everyone fights over them like seagulls.

I was going to just PM Dale but noticed this thread.
Dale - I sincerely apologize for that comment. I've bought from you many times (just add an "er" to the beck part and check email of recent sales on your site) and in no way was trying to insult your prices or grades. The post was a vent over my frustration at not even having a chance to glance at an issue before a blind buy was made.
It was a threadcrap and inexperience overall on this forum prompted it. I didn't think about how it could potentially impact other buyers or sales for the person posting. That said, at the point of the post the thread had turned into such a frenzy that I just posted and walked away. Its frustrating when you are generally interested in issues and you get beat by someone that doesn't even know what they are buying. I definitely stand by that aspect of it.

Will take Paypal and prefer to ship to US (Price includes US shipping) but will ship out of CONUS for exact cost.I have done 5 figure deals on here with a couple members and have allowed time payments. I ship usually the day after it is paid.
Special Marvel Edition 15 CGC 9.2 White pages Asking $450 Shipped in the CONUS
I'll take it!

One thing I don't understand is the fact that nobody is talking about how the sales tax collected is based on the state its shipping to, not the state the company is based in. Also, these sales tax laws only recently went into affect so how hard would it be for a company to charge taxes and neglect claiming them. For instance, the "nexus tax" law was passed by the supreme court in 7/18 and states are just now implementing them in the last couple of months. Why am I'm getting charged by Heritage before Amazon decides to start charging sales tax? This doesn't seem right.
The sales tax that I'm paying is for the state I live in and applicable laws aren't even effective yet.
