Help with offer on pack lot... - razorblacks - 08-05-2011
Hey guys, need your help... I found out from an employee that the owner of my LCS is interested (but not aggresively pursuing) getting rid of of their older pack inventory. What we're talking here is mostly 2003 to 2010 mid to lower mid grade product, mostly baseball but also including some basketball and football. I am thinking about making an offer for all of it(all packs have prices on them that have been there since they were released). I would be open to selling what I rip but I'm in it for pleasure as much as an investment. My question to you guys: with only the vague information I've provided, what do you think a fair (not lowball) offer would be for the lot? 50% of the marked prices on the packs? 40%? Like i said i want a fair offer for both of us. Really appreciate all insight and advice!!

I would think 50-60% off total value should be fair. I mean its not like he is making money with them just sitting.

I'd aim pretty low personally

I would start rather low and let him come back.

How much inventory are you talking about? I wouldn't start any higher than 30-35%.

Thanks for all responses so far guys. I would say He has about 70-80 partial boxes with varying numbers of packs, average of about 8 to 10 in each.

There really is no such thing as a low ball offer in this situation when you are talking about old packs. You can always offer something low and he can always counter offer. If you guys cant agree on a price from there than you probably didnt need all those old junky packs anyways lol
