❓ Ask the Seller
What's the best price you can do if I pay cash today?
How long have you had this collection?
Is there anything else included — supplies, binders, boxes, storage?
Are you flexible on price if I can pick up today?
What were you hoping to get for the collection?
🛡️ Your Defense
This collection will take ~8 hours to sort, price, and list — that's real time out of my schedule.
Platform fees + shipping will run $1,946 before I see any profit.
Realistically, 150 items (30%) won't sell — those are dead weight I'm taking a risk on.
My offer of $1,192 is 40% of estimated gross — fair margin for the risk and effort.
