Agreed. It sounds like it was a package deal, though.If the current sale takes EVERYTHING in his collection, I agree.
But if the current sale is for only some items, the REMAINDER should be appraised.

No one who comes to this forum, or any forum for that matter, should ever blindly accept the advice offered by anonymous strangers - and the terms of use for this site make that clear.This is one of those cases where I am simply not comfortable with the OP or the elderly gentleman making a decision based on the advice of an internet forum. Particularly one where the advice is so definite and so much money is involved.
I firmly believe that a pause needs to be placed on everything until someone has consulted an attorney on behalf of the elderly gentleman. Nobody even knows at this point if the check is any good. If the attorney believes that a contract has been made and the check proves to be valid then the deal may have to continue as is. If not, then the opportunity has been taken to preserve at least some of the assets.
If the dealer is on the up and up, the dealer won't mind the scrutiny.
On what do you base this appraisal?I live in GA and have a friend that has millions of dollars of rare baseball cards.
When did this happen? Has the check been negotiated? Did it clear the bank on which it was drawn?The person gave my friend $50,000 check
Did the guy return? If so, what happened?but could not take everything. He is supposed to come back tomorrow or Monday.
Your post suggests that your friend entered into a contract for the sale of whatever items in exchange for $50k. Is there a written contract? Is there any inventory of exactly what the buyer has already taken?Can my friend legally get out of this transaction?
