I have this small problem which I would like to share with you and ask for your opinion.
I have a friend who has a large stack of Magic The Gathering cards. It includes a lot of more elderly cards plus three 75-card sets (I think two of them are Champions of Kamigawa and Saviors of Kamigawa). However, he doesn`t use these cards so all they do is collect dust. Plus, he is currently in a bad financial state. Not as bad as it sounds, but still...
In any case, he has decided to sell these cards. He asked me how much would they be worth and I told him quite a hefty sum (seriously, its so many cards.....) He also asked me if I knew anybody who would be willing to buy them. I told him that allthough I don`t know anybody, I`ll try to find someone. I also asked him to inform me when he settles on a price since I am tempted to purchase the cards as well. Well, he immediatly determined the price. He said that if somebody else purchased them, he would sell them for around 42$. But he also said that if I purchased them, he would sell them to me for 32$.
Allthough the offer is quite tempting, I`m preety undecided. So I ask you....what would you have done in my place?
