Wrong. A card is worth only what someone's willing to give up for it.

That aside, I'm more insulted by the "Your stuff is crap" argument that came forth in that PM.
 
Steve, I might be the wrong guy to ask because I am so cheap but I think both your offers go above and beyond what should be expected. Good luck acquiring 1/9.
 
Somehow, I don't think it's gonna happen on this one. He wants way too much for the card.
 
You never know.... if you cant see to strike a deal, just tell him that you will find the card elsewhere. You've found harder cards before.....

Thanks for the reminder hatzosman6.... I should have thought about that a bit more.

Yeah, I know. Just sayin' that I don't feel a good vibe off this.

Andy - That's kinda the point. I'm trying to show him that he IS getting a really good deal by letting OTHER people say it, and he still doesn't think he's getting enough.

I thought about this trade for all of 30 seconds. I would grab the 200.00 US and feel that I had gotten the best of the deal. Knowing that it was a 'White Whale' does not justify forcing the price up. The offer is well above BV and I must side with Quincy.

That's cool - and, my comment wasn't really directed at you.

Personally, I've felt like starting a thread like this a time or two myself, just decided not to.

That said... I think either of the offered trades are absolute steals for the unnamed person, and perhaps this is a failed attempt by them to take advantage of "Quincy Must Own Every Sakic-itis". But I'm just speculating with the rest of you. :rolleyes: :)
 
Quite frankly, I don't believe the Roenick jerseys and cash is quite enough....HOWEVER...it is pretty much realized that you yourself Steve, set the bar on values for Sakic's, and I honestly believe that if the Sakic was put on eBay, and you were not bidding on it , the seller would be lucky to get $125-$150 for it, especially with the lockout...therefore, $200 seems more than fair, going by the idea that cash is worth half the value of the card ($200 cash equals a $400 card), which is pretty much the norm.

You've got a PM.....

OK, so since we all think your offers are fair, does that mean the owner of the Sakic deems it so too? No. Steve your point about it only being worth what someone will offer (not a quote, so sorry if I offend) is only partly accurate. It is also valued at what someone will let it go for. As much as we think your offer is fair, he obviously does not (be it greed or otherwise). Trading is kind of "like a box of chocolates...". Every trader has a different agenda, of which is not commonly known ahead of time. And I don't say this lightly, because I seek 2 Staals numbered out of 10 and one Staal out of 5. If someone on this board gets one, they will feel that they can try for more than book value.

Good luck with the Sakic, whether it's this one or a different one :)

also another thing could be, this guy knows your a sackic collector, so he could also be trying to drag as much as he can out of you for it. Not saying that is what he is doing, but your a sackic collector so you'll go beyond what just a collector, or different player collector will pay/trade for it. I do think the cash offer is fair, but if he already has the emblm /9 and doesn't want the cash I'd say your deal is done.

So I would like one in return. The Kovalchuk is realy nice, I like that. On the other hand the Roenick isn´t realy that nice I don´t think it would sell for $120 on the Bay, my estimate would be $80.

So here´s my proposition and the value the way I think they would be.

Kovalchuk Ultimate Emblem/Auto $100
BAP Ult. Jersey/Autograph Roenick (black swatch) #/30 - $30 (BV$60)
03-04 ITGU Emblem Roenick $80

for

03-04 Parkhurst Rookie Emblem Autograph Sakic #/10 $200

To say the least, I consider this insulting and greedy. Guess I'm not baggin' this one if that's what he considers a fair deal. Oh well, there's 9 more out there.

also I'd tell him if he wanted to do that deal, he'd have to throw in some cash...
 
I read this whole thread, and honestly, I don't know what to think. I would like to see a scan of the card personally. I will weigh in with this. I dont think there has ever been a sakic Parkhurst Rookie Emblem Auto on the net. Given that fact, I think it would defaintely fetch higher than the ultimate auto emblem, which there have been 3 or 4 of already (I am guessing by the number of modanos I have seen online, I could be wrong though :D). The fact that this could be the first one, I think would put the card over 200, into the 250 range. Maybe the individual traded more for the card or values it higher, in which case, it is his choice, if he doesnt like your offer, he can hold on to the card, and there are always 9 more out there...hmm...makes me wanna go buy some parkie rookie.

Just my 2 cents (Canadian Cents at that.)
