Tom, this is not in response to you, you started the post so thats where I responded.
Over the last few months I have explained myself, I guess I have to do it again.
I will start by saying that I use the term "my friend" frequently due to the fact that I do not want to disclose my friends gender.
I worked at the Hard Rock for 6 years.
I get together for lunch with a friend who works there, about every three weeks.
My friend (one single friend, not several) continues to keep their eyes open for chips I may want, whether it be for my collection or to sell.
Several months ago, shortly after the shoes came out, my friend got several chips that were turned into the cage. My friend got about 3 for myself and I think my friend got 5 . I do not have the exact numbers.
I sold one for myself and a couple for my friend right away when the prices were 50-80.
Since then my friend has got a few more as they get turned in.
In December my friend gave me 4 Pumas. 1 was a present for me doing all of the selling, under the condition that I sell it for myself. I then sold 2 more for my friend. We will use the profits from this last Puma for a round of golf somewhere fancy.
The last time we went to lunch, I specifically asked my friend (based on all the grief I am getting from the boards) if my friend had a huge stash of Pumas at home. I was promised that there was not a big stash at my friends house. My friend said that my friend only had 3-4 for their personal collection.
In regards to selling one at a time. Does it make sense to put out 3 at once and then receive lower sales prices on each or sell those 3 one at a time in order to get the best prices.
Long story short if anyone has specific questions for me feel free to ask them on the board or via email. I have made that same offer on all of my auctions (which have looked at over 400 times each)and have received virtually no questions.
By the way I am not upset at the questions surrounding my sales. I do wish people would just ask me in addition to posting their feeling on the boards.
