Is it too outrageous to assume that I really have a 10 year old son who had some extra trading cards he wanted to part with?
To me a scam is when you mislead about the content or value of an item. In this situation we told you exactly what he had, that he'd prefer to trade for other Chiefs stuff, or sell for cash. I asked him this morning why he said $10 (I did not tell him why I was asking) and he said, "because that's probably how much of my allowance I'd spend if I didn't already have them."
Rest assured this little boy has no other intentions other than to have fun with his hobby and be a Chiefs fan here, and neither does his father. Neither him nor I knew at the time if $10 was under or over priced. If one of the cards was worth $15 or something would you be citing what losers we are for selling them so cheap? Besides, are you seriously telling me that you've never paid a few more dollars for something than what it was worth; just because you wanted it? I know I have, especially when it comes to the Chiefs! I don't know why I don't just let this die, but I find it sad that someone gets attacked and called a scam artist for something so extremely innocent. It makes me wonder if there are so many dishonest people out there that we should all just be more guarded, or if the ones calling it a scam are actually the true scam artists so they just assume everyone else is as well.
