Wouldn't this be a strategy to pull key books out of the market? Someone sees that you are willing to pay $220,000 for a NM Action #1. They pull their VG copy out of their attic thinking they'll get that much for it. You offer them a fair but greatly reduced amount for a book that might've never reached the market otherwise? Metropolis used to run ads like this. Surely, you weren't expecting NM copies to be at the other end of the phone call?  |

| There's a typo in there. In the red text paragraph: "We will have your money or you in 48 hours!" Sounds vaguely threatening. Were you planning to rub out anyone who wouldn't sell? |

Quote:Originally Posted by sborock I'm sure it's good bait to lure books to market. I've always said that the most valuable thing a Golden Age dealer owns is his customer list. My friend could call someone up and have a book sold before he even bought it. |

| Steve, I remember you having lived on Long Island and owned a LCS in Bethpage. Perhaps we met there or at one of the many local shows I did. Either way, great to see you're doing well. | ||
