[QUOTE="pizzathehutt, post: 466641, member: 518"] Thought I'd mention all this as I've just read that thread in the valuation section about the seller who sold his collection for £300 when I was selling my loose collection on gumtree a couple of months ago I had a lot of people offering peanuts for a collection that was easily worth £1400 if sold seperatly and I was asking for £1000 which in my eyes was still a bargain. people would phone me up offering £300,£400,£500 and trying to explain to me why its was worth that amount and trying to tell me information about the figures as if I didn't already know :lol: people can get really upset when they get shamed or put down, I was raw with these pricks trying to pull a fast one and I ended having people shout at me down the phone and having full blown arguments because I basically kept taking the piss out of them and calling them up on what they were doing. crooks or dealers trying to pull a fast one don't like 2 things: 1: being found out that they are trying to pull a fast one and being called out on it and 2: having the piss taken out of them. :lol: I even got threatened at one point and had some dick tell me I he was going come down here and kick my arse, perfectly fine I said, I've been a member of a local boxing club for the past 4 years so happy for you to come on down, no show though What I found quite interesting was a lot of the people I spoke to had seen them for sale on here aswell as gumtree but were not members of this forum Anyway this shouldn't be happening in the hobby but it does so be careful guys [/QUOTE]
