LMAO,talking to a guy about selling him the post war lionel trains I have.Roughly worth about 1000 bucks give or take.This meathead just offered me 150 bucks.Should I take it?

 

[sliverofsilver]

if there worth a grand and he offers $150 ,counter with what you would be comfortable with.

I wouldnt sell them for 150 even if I didnt know what they were really worth lol.Most of the cars are still in the original boxes,some of the boxes are worth more than the cars themselves are worth.A couple of the cars I have were only made for 1 year.He just thinks he's dealing with an idiot where as I've been doing this before feebay even excisted.He sent me a text
I'll give you 150 and I can pick them up on saturday,my answer, Ahhhh NO.all this and he advertised himself as an honest collector,yup ok

I have a pair of 1953 Lionels. Not for sale at any price. They will become my sons someday.

 

[Red James Cash]

Nice little investment for him gusser. Mine are dated around 1955 56.I dont mind selling mine because I found them.

 

[Red James Cash]

To this day him and I are friends, he just knows not to get to ridiculous!

Thats the name of the game buddy.From me youre going to get what you give.Screw me or try to screw me well,you just declared open season.Be honest with me you'll get 200% in return.

 

[Red James Cash]

Yup it is cut throat,even more so if you dont know what your doing or just starting out.
