## Resource

Buying big collections isn’t just about money — it’s about people, emotions, and trust. Here’s the exact mindset and process I use to price collections quickly without pressuring sellers. Timestamps 0:56 Why big collection deals are emotional 2:16 The #1 rule: don’t meet when you’re rushed 4:41 Quantity doesn’t equal value (the story I tell sellers) 14:01 Value vs liquidity (and why “comps” can mislead) 15:11 My pricing formula: 90% for strong stuff, 50–60% for the rest Thanks to our monthly supporters Rob Hefley Klendathu Tatershed Justin Burch Always_Eaton Ryan Bruder Kevin Quiles Evan Hastie Donut Josh Stewart ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
