With buying cards being so easy, why is selling them so difficult? Our lead topic this week is how selling our cards can sometimes bring along feelings of shame. I dig into how a strategy of selling when you want to vs selling when you need to is almost guaranteed to yield a more positive result. If we allow the selling process to be dictated by the need to cover things like an upcoming auction bill, we may be backing ourselves into a corner.   

The conversation shifts to resources in the community to promote selling product, specifically, the Just Collect Weekly Email Newsletter. This newsletter provides great value, FOR FREE, to our community to help them buy or sell cards. I encourage anyone needing help in this manner to reach out to me directly! The Doctor is here to help!  

Finally we talk about an experience I had at the Philly Card Show where I sold a T206 Ty Cobb. I had the card on display with an asking price of $14,500. I was approached with an offer that didn't meet my needs and I graciously turned it down. This doesn't mean that I didn't want to sell the card, it just meant I didn't want to sell the card at that price. Selling this card on my terms, ultimately lead to that same customer coming back to make a deal by adding some cards he had on hand at the show into the transaction. The patience I had with the sale, resulted in a deal that both parties were happy with. Saying goodbye to the Ty Cobb may have been sad, but there was no shame in selling it.
