the seller knows you really want the card, so he'll squeeze every penny out of you. a few sellers have tried this with my Jordan Farmar collection.. he's no longer with the Lakers, so his fan base has dropped. I still collect him, because he went to UCLA & was a Laker.
One seller tried to sell an Ultimate "debut" patch/auto /10 for $249, even though it is not worth even close to that much.. Almost two years later, the seller still has the card, but listed at $195 as of today. I will not pay more than $25-40 delivered for this card.
Another seller has a SPA 08-09 Andrew Bynum "fullname" letter "Y" auto /5 listed at $300.. Most I paid for one of Bynum's letters/autos was $160 & it was a 1/1 "cityname" version.. funny thing was, the seller had a 2nd "letter/auto" that he listed about 4-6 months after the first one (serial /5, but different letter), but had a "buy now" for under $80 delivered. I snatched it up since I needed it.. I do not need the letter "Y". I already got one.. I try to pick them all up, so nobody else can try to complete the name-set & my set will have a premium if I am able to complete it..
good luck talking the seller down in price. I think $25-30 delivered would be fair.
Be careful if you buy outside ebay..
DO NOT SEND MONEY AS A GIFT... he could scam you!! & never send you your card, since you sent him the money as a gift, instead of a purchase.
