I am inquiring about the price of your card. Before I get a price, I would like you to ensure you include all of your fees into the asking price. This fees include but are not limited to: PayPal fees, sales tax, income tax, bubble wrap, bubble mailer, driving to the post office, gas, and potentially the coffee you get in the way. If you would please ensure your price is including all of those items before we negotiate.”
I’ll say what I’ve said multiple times now, transactions were never an issue until the COVID flippers came in with shady business practices and no transparency.
I know you are truly adamant that the way you do things are the right way. But you said you’ve done dozens of deals and you don’t sell, so speaking in absolutely on one side of the table is interesting. I’d be very interested to see what the communication looks like when you message someone inquiring about a card.

One thing is for sure, when I inquire about a card it is a pleasant conversation and both sides feel like it was an open and fair deal.
Unlike you, whose message is "claim!", and gets to the end of the transaction hoping this seller does things the way he's used to when the hobby, the world, and the internet was vastly different.
Things have changed. Get with the times or continue to have to make threads on message boards about the good old days.
I guess I'm just easier to deal with than you. I recognize not everyone does things the same way, or the way I'm used to, or has the experience that I do (ironically is more experience than you, but you keep suggesting it's not). I don't get upset by those things and I'm open to talking through it with a seller, rather than rant at the clouds. But you do you.
Ironically, I see you ignored the other post where you gave the perfect example to support my way of doing things.
