You be suprised how many 10 cents Endless ranks end up in my hands. Or recently that ghost fire blade that no one wanted at all turn from 10 cents to 1.25…. BULK FTW!

When I do it in person I will go through the cards to make sure the condition is ok and if I notice something that isn’t bulk I’ll tell them. If it’s through mail I don’t bother letting them know about above bulk stuff, but, I won’t be picky on condition if there is some above bulk stuff to compensate. If people think I offer a low price for bulk I’m always happy to indicate that they should take out whatever they’re not happy to trade at bulk prices. I’ve had a few cases where I indicated that a card was above bulk and the other guy said he didn’t mind.

While I know a lot of prices I would not feel comfortable making offers on a card by card basis. I’m happy to make offers on collections as I figure anything I might over- and undervalue is going to balance each other out and my offer will be skewed in my favor if I have any doubt. Card by card though means the seller can just only accept the prices when I am too high. That’s too daunting for my taste.

I know and do all of these things but putting it into a format new buyers can understand is more difficult than it seems. Well done.
