I have a chance to buy a 1984-85 Star - John Stockton - #235 - Rookie card here in a day or so. I visually inspected the card today and it was very well centered, surface was good, no real visible edge wear, it did have a slight ding on the corner, but it was pretty hard to see. I offered $100 cash money and the guy said he needed to think about it for a day. Is this a fair offer given it is not graded and I'm wanting to turn a profit?

In my opinion, for that type of card, for such a limited print run, 100.00 is not a good offer. I think for a card like that I would take close to BV, just for the reasons stated above. I see your point for you wanting to turn a profit. I guess your best bet is finding someone who really needs the cash at the moment for that price. Its just my opinion.
It depends on 2 things, how bad is the ding and is the more important one...is the card real or a forgery. There were a bunch of fake Star cards made during the 90s as the values on the cards started rising. Make sure you know what a real Star card looks and feels like before you buy a raw one. There is a good reason as to why most of the grading companies wouldn't grade Star cards for many years. I know I waited until I could buy a nice graded version of that card for my Stockton collection, rather than chance getting a fake one.

This guy used to be a dealer back in the day and pulled this from one of the plastic baggies they came in. The colors were sharp and photo was in-focus and matched ones I saw on eBay that were graded as being legit.
Scored it today for $125.00
See attached pics.
Update:
Just got it back today. 8.5 I was kinda hoping for a 9.0 
Very underrated card as is all the Star XRCs.
Very nice! congratulations!
