So here's the deal. I had someone approach me locally with a decent collection to sell. I've recently bought a house so all of my money is tied up elsewhere. The retail on the collection based on scg is around 9k. Asking price is between $3-4000. I'm looking for someone who wants to pay for it and have me do the deal and ship it to you. For this, as my finders fee I will be getting the commons, uncommon, and bulk rares/foils in the collection. Trust me there's tons of great stuff.

But, won't someone steal it off my doorstep once you ship it to me?

Without knowing the contents of the non-bulk, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

This got a very loud audible laugh out of me.

How about I buy it, I pick the cards you call "bulk", and then send you what I will call "bulk", no extra charge to you.

Why don't you ask your bank for a personal loan if it's such a GREAT deal? Does your credit suck that much that you can't get a personal loan for $3-4k? If it IS worth that much I see no reason why you need someone else to buy this collection, borrow the money for christ sake.

So if your interested email me with your Motl name from your Motl email address. I am giving preference to well established MOTLers and people I've dealt with before because this is new territory for me and I want it to go smoothly.

Flat percentage on profits/payments made sounds like a much more fair finders fee. Not that I'm interested, anyway, since the shipping would be absurd.

Half SCG doesn't give me much room to make time-effective money on a big lot considering SCG sells most stuff at far more than most people can resell at.

Why don't you get a short-term loan for this stuff? Or use a secured line of credit on your house? Secured LOCs have LOW interest rates (like... prime or prime + a half), if you break even in three months the interest will be like a hundred bucks.

Correct, I get offers of money that i have to pay back for free all the time.

For the people who actually offered constructive ideas, I appreciate the fact that you don't live in the past and have a sense of common decency.

I realize it was slightly unclear as to that part but I would hope people had a slight amount of common sense. And no I wouldn't expect anyone to send $3-4000 without.knowing exactly what's in.it. but frankly I wanted to pick and choose who I sent the list to since there have obviously been people on this site who have harassed me over the past year and I done wanna deal with them or hear their lip.

Hoosk posts vaguely about a deal that requires 3-4k investment.

Multiple members point out that such vagueness isn't exactly the best way to go about this, given his BTA history.

Hoosk blames bad responses as the reason for his vague first post (is hoosk psychic?), completes cyclical argument.

You must be either a masochist or a poor decision maker. Usually when my brain tells me something is a bad idea I don't do it. Yours told you twice and you still follow through with it, and then try to pin it on everyone else.

I find it impossible to believe that you are even capable of turning this sale into a profit.

Actually I'm generally an optimist. I like to believe in the overall goodness of humanity as a whole. The fact that so many people on this site are pessimistic just goes to feed the stigma that gamers and magic players are antisocial people. The fact that most people in this topic went toward the negative side immediately, proves that.

But oh well. I refuse to let this site or the negative people associated with it change me. I know who I am, the kind of person I am, I know I'm loved and that I do love so what a few negative people think of doesn't matter anymore.

I'm not trying to make people think anything. You guys are the ones trying to make people think I'm this evil person. I don't really care one way or the other at this point. You don't know me, don't have a clue who am really am, and honestly with the closed mindedness, never will. That's your prerogative.
