Predicament....

Jay Blank · Aug 17, 2010

Ok so theoretically what do you do in the following situation?

Say you have a card that 2 or more people want (both good blokes, active on OCT, great PC's etc etc) Both are offering a great deal for the card, and both want it for different reasons. As far as offer value goes, they are very similar (and both prepared to add more) I haven't been in this situation and am having trouble knowing how to deal with the situation. I don't want to upset/make angry either party involved. They have discussed it (to a certain degree) between themselves and both still want the card... so ummm.. what to do?

thats a hard one.. maybe agree a price with both and a pull a name out of a hat or something.. so you dont have to make a choice! let fate decide! :

Might have to go the whole first in best dressed route mate... Only fair way to do it I guess. Give it to the first person that contacted you about it.

i don't know what your situation is - so i can only assume

i would give the card to the set collector over the PC collector

That wouldn't necessarily be fair though because of time difference/accessibility etc...

It is ultimately your call Jay, I just hope you make the right decision...

Yes time differential etc may be a factor, but they were still the first to see it and go for it.

If the first guys said yes I will take it, then it would have been gone already, even before the second guy saw the sale. Same thing here, even though it is being negotiated.

First in best dressed is always the best way to go. No one can argue with that.

Point taken but it is an Australian website and Australian based forum. Its one of the risks you should be aware of when you join.

Duel at high noon
No easy way to do it unfortunately, either way someone is going to miss out.
I wish you all the best with your decision.

They are both willing to offer more, so it comes down to what they are offering. If one of them can offer something that you want more, then he's the winner.

hairyangryfella · Aug 17, 2010

Also must point out that the PC collector already has the card... just trying to get another one......

If you dont want to do it off first in, then i guess its a case of money talks In the end, the person who offers the best deal for it is the one who wants it most.

taffster74 · Aug 17, 2010

Basically, it all boils down to who is giving you more of what you want. I had a similar situation with a Jordan card at Beckett.com. One guy was offering a handful of Garnett GU's and some base and inserts where the other guy was offering me over sixty base and inserts that i would not otherwise be able to get from him. I had to bite bullet and go with the guy who was giving me more cards. It helped that in the past he had bought a card or two for the sole purpose of trading to me.

im with taffster and brian lee. which ever is going to benefit you the most is probably the right deal.
persoanlly i would have taken expressions of interest until someone commited and then given them the deal all apologies to the others.

I like that idea. Expression of interest with your absolute best offer otherwise you miss out. Good thinking

wayneos82 · Aug 17, 2010

You could put it up on ebay if you cant deceide who to sell it to. I have a feeling this might be a quad tag.

AyiosYiorgos · Aug 17, 2010

Rip the card in 1/2 give them a piece each... Well generally should be 1st in but if one guy already has one as stated in one of the other replies, then sell to the other guy, what ever you do will piss someone off.. Good Luck let us know your decision.. cheers

would that mean that each of the traders will have to rip their money and cards in half and only send 1 half of everything???? LOL
