I completely disagree, and let me make it clear I never even made an offer, I was just trying to understand his response to offers that we're apparently "low ball offers".

 

To me it's watching all the seller do whatever it takes to squeeze as much money out of every single sale they make like they have a starving family to feed and then getting offended when someone makes an offer.

 

Not to mention everyday on these boards I read over and over, "don't be afraid to make an offer, you might be surprised", etc.

 

Pretty lame.

 

one day, and i hope it's soon, you'll be able to figure out how to get your opinion down without sounding like an utter prat. it's been almost three years, there's bound to be some progress made at some point.

 

:wishluck:

 

here's a hint; when your opinion impugns another's motives, you've failed. i'm sure Richard could not care less about this post, and likely would ignore it, but i just thought it was worth responding to. sue me.

Oh craap, yes I quoted the wrong thing.

 

I guess what I'm saying is maybe I think you paid 80% below guide so I figure if I offer 50% below guide you're still pulling 30%

But if I only wanted 50% for them wouldn't I have listed them for a lower price to begin with?

And frankly, what I paid for them shouldn't figure into what someone wants to offer.

If it does they are solely basing their offer on an assumption.

As I said, folks are free to offer whatever they want to.

But I'm stating it again, offering me less than half is grounds for ridicule.

 

Fair enough (thumbs u

 

And truthfully it's nobodys business what he paid for the collection. If people want the books buy the books if not then don't buy them. But worrying about how much profit somebody is going to make on a sale is really bad taste. Just my 2c

Oh and good luck with the sale.

 

I completely agree with Bob. Has almost everyone lost their manners around here? Between this thread and that Mass Pedigree thread, I'm really starting to lose faith with the boards. :(

Dude, he said in his post that reasonable offers were being considered. I bet he even accepted one or two. Offers of less than 50% of his asking price are too low. What's lame about that?

I think both this take and the one above it are a bit on the polar ends. Lowball offers, while annoying, are all part of the deal -- I obviously reserve the right to say no or politely decline. I really don't think that Rich is out of line by poking a little fun at someone who offers something extremely low.

 

On the other hand, I don't think that anyone is exactly trying to squeeze every last dollar out, but if people post to make offers, then whatever the offer is, it is.

In reference to the ASM1 I bought this weekend from Richard:

 

I like your grade & think it may be pretty conservative but who is to say without my asking you a series of nerdy questions.

 

I've checked gpa natch :blahblah:

 

I'm buying it. If it looks like I can't squeeze a profit out of it I'll just keep it for my 4 yr old boy to read after his swim classes.

 

Thanks & see you in a week.

I definitely agree as well. Although some buyers are just that way. They think that they might be overpaying if they bought a book for more than what someone else bought it for. So what? It's how much you think the value of the book(s) is worth to you. I've definitely "overpaid" or paid more than what people would offer for books I will keep in my collection and that I won't re-sell.

Exactly, dealers factor what someone else may have paid for a particular book or collection with every purchase they make. If they aren't doing that they are foolish.

 

But god forbid a collector do that. meh
