Please, help me decide..

He won't sell too many books with small cropped scans.

[GACollectibles]

It would seem so.

 

Myself and some of the guys on the boards have cried because we laughed so hard each time I circulated your email offers,

I just don't have anymore time for this as my business partner and I just scored a 1.5 Million dollar collection

and need the time for serious matters such as real customers.

 

best,

There have been several GA books offered for sale here on the boards over the last several months through a third party. One in particular I had a very strong interest in but was priced aggressively to say the least. If memory serves me right. I made a non-committing offer of around $1000 - $1100 which was denied and probably taken as insult by the seller.

 

A short time later the book is on ebay with a low opening bid, but a reserve.

He won't sell too many books with that crappy feedback and star rating either.

[Flaming_Telepath]

Hey Mike, out this complete @. I need to know who to stop doing business with.

Jeff

 

'Frank Simmons' according to his eBay feedback comments.

 

Who he?

[Ogami]

classic epeening, if you ask me.

 

Don't sweat him, Miles. He sounds like an old fogey who hasn't quite figured out that his time has passed. All his talk about how you're such a newb and a kid, and unexperienced is so very Freudian.

 

The dudes time is done on this stage, and he knows it.

 

 

[DrWatson]

Here it is for sale on the boards.

[lizards2]

He still has lots of items available through the make an offer function....,

[whisp]

Some people are just and think that they can convince you with ignorance to pay a higher price for a book. I find this usually doesn't work and I laugh at them since they are the ones worthy of being laughed at.

 

hahahahaahhaaha

 

oh god I cried laughing so hard at this peon

 

Now you can reply to him that you talked to people on the boards and they cried from laughing so hard at him and his peons!!!!!!!!

[whisp]

Here it is for sale on the boards.

 

Wow he even says it guides at 700 and he wants triple that at 2100. Just from that thread I think he is a greedy tool if its the same guy

I believe Primetime was selling the book for Frank. It's not Primetime's book. I was initially interested, as well, but there are some back cover problems that I believe keep the book out of the 9.2 range. At 9.0, Mike's offer is very reasonable.

[Flaming_Telepath]

'Here is a tip for you as I have been collecting 34 years and you are

obviously a novice collector ...9.2 means near mint minus and brings 1.5 to 2x Overstreet guide especially if the book is low in the price guide.'

 

Sooooo...why was he charging 3 x Guide in the Marketplace?

 

ing noob!

(thumbs u

 

Full agreement on this. Looks no better than a 9.0 and Mike is definitely in the ballpark in these circs.

 

Look, anybody can ask whatever they want for a book, and doesn't have to sell it if he doesn't want to.

 

However, the arrogant, obnoxious, patronising load of arse he responded with...well, he's a tool. (thumbs u

[nearmint]

The book was recently offered to me for $900, and I declined.

[Foolkiller]

Mike,

 

Honestly, while I know this probably stings and you are kind of seething that this guy would be such a insufficiently_thoughtful_person, but as others have mentioned, I would state who this guy is publicly and then say that you won't be doing business with anymore. I know I couldn't now either. Not because of what he asked for the book, but for the rude and insulting email he sent you. There are plenty of true low ballers (and I don't think your offer is really that low ball, especially when factor in that in the thread someone else said that for Nedors of that grade and era, guide or slightly above guide was more accurate), but I would never be rude or disrespectful. Just a polite no thank you.

 

If I was treated like this, I would make sure I never did business with them again and I would certainly spread the word.

[Transplant]

I think it's funny that he called Mike a noob. From what I've seen, Mike has a great deal of knowledge of books and the market in GA and has been a spot-on grader. I would caution people selling books for others not to lie down with pigs. This guy was unprofessional at best and a real person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed at worst.

[nearmint]

I would state who this guy is publicly

 

Frank Simmons. Long time GA collector.

[Theagenes]

What is his board name? Just curious.

[nik]

It has been posted in a round about way

[Theagenes]

A lot of members have "silver" in their name.
