Best and Worst Deals?

[nickdolin]

Just to stir up some conversation, what were your best and worst deals (eBay, Trade, etc?) What constitutes best? I'll leave that open to what you consider your best deal...

My Best deal... I've had many but most likely was My Scott Speed 1/10 Auto that I think I got for less than $10...



Worst deal? Eh, I sent an offer way too high for this Robby Gordon Red... I won't list the price but it was at least 30-40% more than I should have sent to the seller but live and learn?




Now that I'm in a primarily PC mode, I'm going to try and calm down my buying and buy smarter. Being a noob in collecting I've made a few mistakes but I hope to stick around this place a while.

I payed over 300 bucks for a hank aaron reprint. One of them bs trick auctions on ebay where he put it in fine print. I thought it was orginal

My best deal was a 2009 VIP Keselowski After Party Transparent for a whopping $0.01 with free shipping!
My worst was my 2010 Element Keselowski /35 Blue.....spent $23 I think, found out it booked about half of that LOL.

Best deal is my either my Earnhardt '09 Legends Firesuit patch #/50 for like $35 dlvd or my Earnhardt '00 Framed autographed postcard for $40 dlvd.
My WORST deal was spending $160 on a Dale Earnhardt '98 Daytona Win Elite and when I got it the trunk didnt stay open and the grill fell off (I reglued it) and I can buy another one now for about $60 -$70 >:(

Easily my best deal would be this....stole it from someone on eBay for only $43 DLVD (Still to this day no clue how/why it went that low....Jimmie Sig Series always sell in the $100 range at the minimum):



Worst deal.....I remember back in 05 (I believe), I paid $17 DLVD for a Todd Kluever auto because he was supposed to be the next big thing. Yeaaaaaaaaaa......

I love those random .01 or 1.00 cards!

Gotta be careful with BV (I only use Beckett as a loose guide to buying)... I mean, there are ONLY 35 so I wouldn't worry too much/

Seriously, 43 bucks! That is crazy talk... sometimes when you're lucky you're lucky!

And Todd Kluever.... people have now learned that just because you drive for a big team, doesn't mean automatic success... look at... oh I won't beat a dead horse.. haha

What ticked me off was that the DOOR NUMBERED 12/35 only went for $3 delivered! The guy only had 92% feedback, didnt want to take my chance with him.

I was going to buy a Kelly Bires autograph hoping he'd have some success driving for JRM.....thank the lord I lost the auction!
