Just SOLD for $18,250.00!!!

[ninjacookies]

No hard feelings whatsoever As I previously stated, if it was indeed a legit sale...then congrats and more power to ya!

I just have a hard time finding logic in a card that was listed on ebay 2 months ago with a $12.5k BIN OBO suddenly fetching a nearly 150% increase in your original pricing only 2 months later. What I meant by 'nobody bit' was that...anyone could have pressed the 'buy it now' button on your auction back when it was $12.5k and you would have been entered into a legal obligation to sell it to them. But nobody did, despite the numerous offers. I'm not debating the card didn't get tons of views and offers. But anyone could have pressed the buy it now button, but obviously didn't feel the card was worth that much.

So for some new buyer simply appearing out of the blue 8 weeks later and deciding to toss out an additional $6k when he could have had the card for the original listing price just seems very peculiar to me.

That's all I'm saying.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I get ya. Definitely no hard feelings.

But it was indeed a legit sale with no plotting or scheming whatsoever. You'd be surprised how many collectors there are that only check eBay once in awhile. This buyer was one of them as he didn't even see the card until a month ago. It's all about timing I guess.

Buyer of the card was sir_lannir. This was the same buyer that set the record for the Jordan PMG Red bgs 8.5 when he bought it for $12k.


Great sale. I just find it funny that beanyo cant sell his for thousands less. I find it funny that when it was listed for 12.5k, it never sold on BIN. But a month later it can sell for $18k. The only thing that changed between that time was 1 more was listed. You would think with another one being listed, people would see more competition and more population. If anything, offers would fall. No, instead they hit record highs.

In what other market in the world do you know that when supply increase so does the price and demand? LOL. The principles of all our economic laws are thrown out the window, but ironically it only happens in the MJ card world.

Im gonna go list some of my cards now hoping to get crazy record prices. For which I wont, but Ill trying "Tebowing" first and see if helps!!

[nissandriver77]

What a lunatic $18.5k on a card, Also Congratz on the sale.

[u_want_my_cards]

Did this card come from series 2?

It's inaccurate to say the supply increased. The supply was always the same. /74 produced and Pop 5 BGS 9.5's.

Also, one more BGS 9.5 being listed doesn't necessarily mean it will harm the other. Seeing ONE listed on eBay for 2 months at $15k+ then another one popping up and asking for $16.5k could potentially confirm to some watchers that these cards are indeed demanding the high prices. Not just one seller's asking price, but now another one. Matter of fact, when the other one got listed 10 days ago, I noticed more watchers added onto mine with more page views daily. If anything, I think it got my listing more publicity.

And if you think about it... it makes PERFECT sense that nobody hit the BIN button when I was asking $12.5k in the first 3 weeks. I did receive $10k offers and a $12k offer from Nat. Remember, there were 350 watchers in the original auction listing by kobes_for_sale when I won it at $10,655.00. It was mailed OVERNIGHT and I listed it literally 2 days after that auction closed. So of course no one would immediately hit the BIN button as all of them probably witnessed the card selling for $10.6k. Makes total sense. Why would anyone shell out an extra $2k when they could've bid and bought it for less just a few weeks before. A month passes by and collectors see the card getting lots of attention. Then another month goes by and the few that never saw the initial listing, decides to throw out some big offers, and eventually purchase it now. Either way, it's sold and was 100% legit.

And if for whatever crazy reason the buyer changed his mind, I would actually be more than happy to refund and keep the card in my PC. But that's just wishful thinking. Again, I'm the same seller who denied $14k offers from other buyers just a month ago. Money was never the issue. The card meant more to me. But the offer price of this was too good to pass up. No one can deny that.

I'm not 100% sure on that. Some sources I read said it came out of Series 1 and some other sources said 2. I was always confused with that as well.

Im not questioning the legitamacy of the price. Im skeptic on how someone wont pay $12.5K for a card 1 week later but has no issues paying $18.25k 4 weeks later. Especially knowning full well there is another one available for $2k less. Thats what I cannot understand. Do you just wake up one day and say to yourself I rather spend $18.25k instead of $15k just because I feel like it?

Why would anyone shell out an extra $2k when they could've bid and bought it for less just a few weeks before.

Isnt this the question im trying to ask you? Actually isnt this the question everyone is trying to ask?

As for supply increase. For sure there is. Before Rudygay got this card graded (He bought it ungraded) there were only 4 gems. This was the 5th. Now there is a total of 6. In just 3 months the population has grown from 4 to 6. Yes, that to me is a huge increase in population

[paul06901]

If it increased that much in such a short time, why not hold out longer? Next week it might be worth 40k!

[IndySportsCards]

I'm so happy for you. I can hardly contain myself.

Supposedly he knows nothing about what he has. It's just been sitting in boxes in his garage since 2002 and he wants to get rid of it.

Hopefully you find some nice stuff. If he has one of these Jordans, how much are you going to pay him for it?

Im sure if he low balls everyone is gonna bring out the pitchforks. Im sure he will give a 'reasonable' offer.

[BostonNut]

Jeez....18K!

I feel guilty when I shell out $20 for a card!

If he does have this Jordan and a ton of other big cards, who really has 10 grand to pay a guy? I would figure most people on here can buy stuff under 1k with no problem. But 10K plus is quite a bit. I'd be more likely to offer to sell this stuff for the guy at a 25-30% commission rate. No risk on my end in case the sales are really fake (I think many are legit).

If a card sold for $18k, and you think worst case scenario you can pull in 12k, what is a reasonable offer? If I had the money, I'd give him 7-8k for it. If I only had 1k to spend, I'd offer to sell it for him on consignment.

[SportsItUpCards]

So let me get this straight, you paod over 10k and bought it from KOBES_FOR_SALE???? Now I know you're in on it!

You can smack 5 ouches worth of 24K gold on it and it'll still not be a 10k card... Is this the new going rate? NO! It's just another BS dealing.

You know, I could smell you when you first came on this forum, but now I know for sure that you're full of it.

Thanks for making another Jordan website with prices................ but no thanks! smh

The guy is only asking 5000 for the entire collection in the first place. He says he just wants to get the money he has in it back in the first place. Now it could all be common cards and worthless. However if the stuff looks nice i will pay him what he is asking. I have no intention of tryin to lowball him. He says there are a million or so cards and some signed memoribilia and lithographs. Who knows, I'm leaving in a few hours to go take a look.

This is the first time I've ever gone to look at a collection this large.

[suki24]

I've come to the conclusion that all MJ high end sales are fake unless proven otherwise.

Wasn't trying to say you would lowball him. Usually when they have a million cards its junk. Hopefully its worth your time checking it out and you find some good stuff.

I didn't take offense. I hope its some nice stuff, we'll see. Either way it'll be a nice drive as he lives up in the mountains.

[SportsItUpCards]

If I were the person buying that huge lot of cards off of somebody on craigslist, I would watch out! Be sure not to bring cash, because these guys would do anythin for money..... lol With all these fake sales you also have a new waive of crime, where the people selling these lots know about the whole Jordan "craze" and know people are willing to spend thousands in hopes of making 10X more, so they'll bring pleanty of cash!!! Then when you get there you'll see 4 Asian dudes, the same ones pimping all these Jordan inserts and they'll come out at you with swords and all that... hahahaha Be very careful. To all my Asian dudes, you know I have nothing but love for ya!

[retailkid]

$95 shipping?

Are you serious? You guys are really something. It seems a lot of you guys have something against anyone that buys/sells high end Jordan cards. Geez what is wrong with you bro.

Go check the link. I won it fair and square from kobes_for_sale. I put a bid in last second to barely outbid the millionaire guy.

1997/98 FINEST MICHAEL JORDAN EMBOSSED GOLD REFRACTOR #/74 BGS 9.5 | eBay

28 bids.

Smell me? WTF. You can think or say whatever. It's quite hilarious. EVERYTHING I've done has been 100% legit. I've bought and sold over $60k worth of Jordan cards last year with 100% satisfaction rate with 0 disputes.

I'm guessing its really jealousy or envy to be jumpin on High End Jordan sellers. But go ahead. TRY to call me out on ANYTHING. I challenge you or anyone else. Goto my feedback ratings and see my past history of buys and sells. You can pretty much see 99% of all cards I sold were bought on eBay a few weeks before. There's no plotting or scheming buddy so don't be so easy to jump on people's back when you have NO clue what the truth is.
