Expected Vendor Offer $70 - $80 Roughly 75% of Market Value

Cash offers are lower because buyers must tie up money in inventory that may take months to sell, while also covering business costs and profit margins.

Why Vendors Don't Pay 100%: If a card's market price is $100, selling it online will cost a vendor roughly 13% in marketplace fees, plus shipping and material costs. Paying 100% cash would mean losing money on every single sale. Expecting 70-80% cash for standard cards is highly realistic, friendly, and respectful!
