It just stretches people too far if someone is claiming things are so tight costs of stamps are even issue, and then take a look at someone's collection, as opposed to trade/sale list, and see cards one could think could easily turn into some cash that could provide help if things were that tight. I've seen a couple similar posts asking people to buy some of their cards because of financial issues, and I take a look at their cards for sale and pickings are slim while their own collection has quite a few cards I would think desiresble to a lot of people who, under circumstances, would buy them probably at generous prices as opposed to taking advantage of situation (I also would think some people might try to take advantage but, then again, if someone is willing to help by buying some cards they otherwise weren't going to, it also wouldn't be out of line of person selling doing something within means to give a little in terms of a price/deal; and person also could avoid this by just not saying they had financial issues and just call attention to cards being sold people would be interested in). I'm all for helping people in tough times, but figuring out the real deal and whether someone really hasn't utilized their own available resources, is next to impossible. 

Well the MRMike saga comes to a not so surprising conclusion. After not getting the response here he had hoped for he messages me saying he's going to send me the same cards from his personal collection and i should be honored and praise him for his efforts.  3 weeks later and no cards so i message him again. No reply.  The cards arrived today with no top loader, no card board, nothing but a 3 pocket sleeve.  No tape, nothing. Of course 2 of the cards are bent beyond salvage. I'm so tired of this clown. I message him and tell him what happened to his cards and what I think of his efforts. He leaves me another horrible message about my mom's basement and then proceeds to leave me negative feeback and ruin my 100% positive rating.  This is the worst trader I have ever dealt with. All this drama over a 2 dollar trade from a guy who couldn't afford a stamp.  BEWARE OF MRMIKE
