Album Is Getting Into Some Serious Money

Ok so people don't like to be called dude, I will not use that term, have a lovely day.

revenuecollector- I wouldn't pay $300.00 for this either.

LarryBruce.....
No harm meant against you.
I asked the question on how you came up with
the value???
Now I return to see you bashing me.

Collections like this have been picked over or
there was never any value to be found in them.
As for 25c Black Jacks.....sure....
when a person is paying $300
for this type of lot....who care what a damaged BJ
goes for. It is the spice in this lot....

Im sorry you get offensive when I (someone) disagree(s)
with you.
Im sorry you dont like me....
Im sorry you think my items are overpriced.....
do I need to apologize for anything else???

I made a guess kevin as I said.

I have been told to be respectful and I figure I am ,this is as best as I can do.

kevin I already told you how I came up with the total, I will restate it here for you to save you going back to do any reading, I won't use humor, or kidding around, here ya go.

I used catalog times 10% 12% and 25% (That is it in a nutshell kevin) now you know, again as I have said this before)

If we are going to debate the price in the catalog of all these stamps please feel free to list all the results you come up with for, your low figures. I am done and already did my figuring, which was correct as to what the auction would do and the auction is over now.

I won't relist the stamps I see there are plenty good ones, I and others see there is value, other then the few people here, of course entitled to stand by their opinion just as I have a right to stand by my opinion, in fact over 30 bids on the item standing by their opinion, guess we are all wrong from your opinion? I don't know if they will be agreeing with you.

I feel your 25cent figure is your own bias based on your experience and my figure based on my experience and I came very close to knowing exactly what it was going to go for on ebay no matter what you or anyone expert chimes in with their opinion it "FACT" sold for $305.00 same ballpark what I came up with.

If you want to argue I am not going to go there.

On condition or mis placed or mis identified ect ect ect on and on many figured there was plenty to look at and bid, go ask them. I only came up with my own opinion to see where this auction was going and I was 100% correct in what the ebay crowd was going to do, that is all I was saying kevin. you can say what you like about the final price or items prices that was not the point the point was where the auction was going and I was right and you well missed the point and made no guess other to say it was basically worthless 25cent whatever...

I am very familiar with these type collections (albums)on ebay and this collection looks a lot better then some "picked over" material I am very aware of those. I have bought and sold and kept a lot of these I am not an amateur in this I know like the other 30 bidders what this is, I or them are not so astounded as you in the price, or how it was figured. You assume the expert position and place me in the amateur position(kevin)it does grate after a while. It comes across as you believe you know all about stamps and I know nothing an assumption that does seem rude to me and that I do not subscribe to.

I saw a C1 Airmail and others back of the book too, with, century sheets,washx4,wash/franklin,jeffersons,jacksons,lincolns,panama,columbian,trans mississippi etc, all together and not as picked as some albums, very nice clean album, as clean as I have ever seen of this type. I am not saying it was or is perfect please let us not go there and argue.

I am sorry when others get testy also when I disagree with them, which I rarely do, like I say it is two ways street and now your comment added also, is there anything else "I" am to apologize for too? Lets just call it a day and say we agree or even disagree to agree.

But I am sorry your assessment and a couple others here on this album are a bit to critical for me and yes I absolutely 100% am proud to say I disagree with you as do over 30 other bids on the album.

Your actually questioning how I guess? Has stamp collecting come to this, not disagreeing on price, buying selling, but how much an auction will go to. Well anyway.

I liked it (the album)otherwise I would not have posted it. Will I post in the future, makes me wary now.

Does it really freaking matter who was "right" or who was "wrong" about what the ebay lot brought?

No one else got testy, Larry. No one. You accused Kevin of having his nose in the at nearly the beginning of this thread. You attributed motivation (haughtiness, nose in the air) to his terseness and brevity. That's what got this off on the wrong foot. The "nose in the air" jab was totally uncalled for and you still have not acknowledged what you did but instead have repeatedly justified your incivility by claiming that others did you wrong first. People have criticized you, yes, but not testily, rather they did so calmly.

revenuecollector.....
Hieronymus.....

No worries here.
I will not offer any help, advice, opinions, whatever to LB.

Good night!

low quality stamps

revenuecollector-yes it does matter what (how high)lot sold for kevin was questioning my guess what it was to sell for that is what the thread was about ,my guess. It was turned into another animal with my wording which still seems to remain detractors focus.

ya low quality, thanks for your input.

hieronymus you mis quoted me I said " I 100% disagree with his nose turned up approach at these stamps." it is a figure of speech.(he didn't like my prices on the stamps period, don't make it anything more it wasn't)

not what you wrote/said " You attributed motivation (haughtiness, nose in the air) to his terseness and brevity."

calmly or tersely your opinion ok call it as you wish I do.

He says "No worries here.
I will not offer any help, advice, opinions, whatever to LB."

no worries.

You really are obstinate, aren't you? To say that someone turns up his nose is, yes, a figure of speech. It is a figure of speech that attributes haughtiness to the person whose nose is in the air. All figures of speech mean things. Otherwise we wouldn't employ them.

You actually have no idea how offensive you are. If you are going to employ language, you ought to learn what it means.

But as others have done, I wash my hands of you. (A figure of speech.)

your meaning is your understanding not mine. he did turn up his nose at the stamps ie he did not like them. period nothing more.

see not everyone agrees with you.

I still don't understand why bidders nibble and place multiple bids, nor do I understand bidding early in an auction that has a definite end time. Just sayin'

shermae, generally I completely agree with you about bidding early, but on occasion I do so when there's a stamp that I sort of want but not enough to come back and try to snipe it just before the auction ends (which may be at an inconvenient time). The hope, of course, is that it is one of those auctions that only attracts at single bid. It almost never works. If I get a notification that I have been outbid, I let it go, because the last thing I want to do is get in a bidding war. (P.S. I know there is sniping software out there, but I have never bothered to acquire it. 99% of my ebay purchases are buy-it-now.)

INCORRECT, You read into things that you want not what was written.




That was my question.....
I viewed the link and the ebay item did not
state ANYTHING about a value.
Thus my reasoning of 25c per stamp???

Third time now kevin I answered you.
I came up with my figures by looking the stamps up and using "catalog" prices. Then using a "percentage" of the figure. There are to many to list each, you can do your own research or lump them all into your own figure of two bits each.

Apparently this answer is not enough I do not intend on providing another answer my answer remains the same as this, simple as that ,no matter how many times you ask it. It worked for me to figure the price the auction would go not the value of the album or what 10 different people thought it was worth. Was/is how high the auction would go.

The ebay link and their description has nothing to do with my own guess and I have explained many times now how I figured it. What part don't you get? What answer are you wanting to hear? I don't figure I can appease you with anything I say when I write you come up with more disgruntlement of how I phrase it so why try. Nothing more to say, it is not going to change reread I have said I used the catalog.

I used the catalog that is it nothing more in answer to your question kevin. If you disagree with the catalog it is your own business I used it as a guide not the bible, the figures and formula I came up with is right on.

I still don't get it your disagreeing with how I guess? I am not reading anything into it your telling me what I ment and I wrote the thing I know exactly what I ment it is you that is going off on a different tangent and wanting to direct my meaning into your judgement of what you think the album is worth and astonished with how I came up with the figures or questioning my figures with "12 question marks"(not just a question but disagreeing with my figures 12 question marks??? ??? ??? ???- what are you really trying to say kevin) in your brief remark and that is not the point it is and was "what the auction would do or go for" it was supposed to be fun not a drill for you to try to help or teach or tell me my figures were off it wasn't just an innocent question with twelve question marks you had serious reservations about my figures. If you think different sorry your misunderstanding and reading into it what you want.

As I said in the first post it was a rough guess, and a good one at that.
