Art thou certain? The auction listing sayeth Little Rock, Arkansas.

According to a few people I know Daniel(Candiman) is/was Battlefield and War Eagle also. It was never his mother, father, or sister like has been reported on here.

Interesting. You should post this on the Candiman thread if you have not already.

Location listed on a eBay account really means nothing. I know people with several accounts that are listed from all over the US. I would think the PP information is what really counts.:)

Indeed. I was just humorously calling attention to the misrepresentation. Rhetorical question.

My bad..."Second incarnation of Candiman auctions"

...oh no.

Interesting; just noticed they do not accept paypal. I wonder why?

Uses the same Auctiva software that both Battlefield and War_Eagle_Vintage used also

Just to clarify.... Those listings don't list PayPal as a payment option. How did they pay?

I'm the worst at detecting trims. But if this card is NOT miscut/trimmed, I would be shocked...

It still shows pending with this note:

This is a temporary authorization to make sure your payment method will
cover the payment. Your payment method will be charged when
CANDIMAN INC,DOTHAN,AL, completes your order.

Just when I thought the Battlefield saga was dying out...and yeah, the Reggie is below min size at best.

Yeah, especially the lower right corner. It angles inward, making the card no longer a rectangle. Somebody did some slicing.

I bid on this card the other night but felt uncomfortable.

Free shipping on some, or promotional, as they say, and free returns on others?

The price is low for this card, imo, but I am glad I didn't win it now, especially now. Others may have felt the same way as I did?

good point. here is clip from their auction.

This I believe....look at the lady's facebook page and tell me if you get a seedy baseball card dealer vibe. Pretty sure this kid threw his folks under the bus for whatever reason.

And what do they have against back scans? Is there a baseball card collector in the world who doesn't care what the back of the card looks like?

For those of you who were fortunate enough to participate in the “inaugural” Candiman Auction, it appears that you may have participated in the “only” Candiman Auction.

The upcoming auction schedule has been deleted from the website as well as just about everything else.

Anyone who is surprised by turn of events should consider investing in a different hobby in my opinion.;)

From the vicious rumor I heard he could not pay for his new purchases to have the auction. His check is still bouncing like a rubber ball.

Because PayPal will refund your money right away, no matter what the seller says and eBay will make you wait forever to get anything back. eBay protects their sellers, no matter how crooked they are and paypal protects the buyer.

Surely the brothers will be back to reassure us that all is well.

or to tell us now there grandfather was cleaning out his house and they found a massive high end vintage collection, and they despise PSA and other TPG and they prefer to cater to the raw collector and leave money on the table.

I still think Battlefield has had many other accounts. I've watched a few between 1-2 years depending on which account. Because I couldn't prove it was him or that the guy was doing nefarious altering/pic changes/etc, I haven't mentioned it myself in detail. He likely is doing the same shtick of buying authentic cards and popping them out of holders though based on my experiences even if he isn't battlefield persay. I am sure a few sleuths could prove it beyond a doubt that this is the same guy or one of his other "relatives" lol. Meet his other auction house and his "Uncle"... https://www.ebay.com/sch/great_lakes...p2047675.l2562 Uncle Bill - https://www.ebay.com/sch/Baseball-Ca...ills_treasures




I bought 4 cards about 2 years ago from Great Lakes Auction House and 3 of 4 came back altered. To be fair, one graded pretty decently, but I tend to think it got past the graders' "trimmed" radar and now I will forever have to hold onto it because of that.

I would like to hear what others have to say about this. I have purchased quite a few cards from Great Lakes and have not had any issues. I do think he buys slabbed cards, cracks them and sells raw. I have read that in another thread on this board.

He does state that the cards are unaltered and authentic. Not sure when you had purchased from him in the past. Maybe he did sell altered cards in the past.

It was about two years ago. One was altered stock and two were altered trimmed. PSA has been wrong before, but considering the alteration possibility and the way the cards are sold, I would lean to PSA's opinion. Without proof not much can be done but I tend to think his authentic unaltered claim works as stated to ensure a buyer doesn't consider the potential alterations while bidding. Unless they are in a rush to grade them its possible they miss a chance of return altogether--as is my case. With PSA's crazy delays now, it is even more likely battlefield, candiman auctions or others won't be forced to pay up within a deadline unless using paypal return and not ebay if you can.

Don’t buy ungraded/unslabbed cards online. Or if you do, don’t complain when they come back altered. Seems pretty simple to me - if you play with fire, don’t complain when you get burned

I do, and I won't. On the other hand neither will I get them graded. :)

Wow Ben! You guys and your conspiracy theories is literally laughable. I'm not sure who you heard this "vicious" rumor from but I'm pretty sure we've never met before and you know nothing about us, our personal lives, or our finances. This comment is a joke.

Our April 2018 auction will be open for preview on April 7th. Check out the website next Saturday. Lots of great items.

Daniel

Frank,

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about:

candimanauctions.com

Click on the above link and you will clearly see the upcoming auction schedule and other than the featured items not being posted yet for the upcoming auction, EVERYTHING is on the website as before. The auction preview for our April auction (which will run from April 14-28) will be posted on April 7.

Daniel

Peter,

We haven't gone anywhere. Our April 2018 auction will be open for preview April 7th (next Saturday) and the auction will run from April 14 -28.

We don't have time to get on here all day and debate with you guys about things that have already been discussed at length. We have been extremely busy getting orders from the March auction shipped and working on getting the April auction done. We've told our story and that's all we can do. If you want to read it again I suggest going back to the original thread we posted.

Daniel

I have to wonder if anyone who won a raw card in the inaugural Candiman auction, submitted it to a TPG and now has it back, cares to confess. What happened?

No way someone got their cards back that fast. Unless they sent to SGC.

Pretty sure Great Lakes is not Battlefield.

Daniel; if you care to respond

One thing that bothers me is you don't use TPG; why not? For example the 1954 Aaron you have pictured or the 52 Robinson from March Auction. Aren't you doing your cosigners a dis-service, by not maximizing the potential sale price; and aren't your allowing your buyers to have doubt with regards to the authenticity of such cards. Perhaps, I am naive, but I don't understand why any auction house would not grade cards that clearly "exhibit" the look and the value that they should be, especially considering it would be in the consignor's best interest to do so.

If timing, is the answer as many have pointed out SGC & or BGS can meet your demands. So can PSA you may just need to pay up for speedier service, and wouldn't the consignor bear that cost anyway?

They wouldn't even be logged in yet. :D

So a simple question that you neatly avoided, is this ebay account in Little Rock that doesn't take paypal yours or not?

So are you saying that the cards being sold by eBay IDs battlefield and War Eagle are not the same exact cards that got sent to YOUR address? Was your Mom using YOUR address?

Also are you saying YOU did not recently win several thousand $ worth of cards and not pay for them?

I heard the other side so now lets hear yours.

I agree with Peter. Great Lakes owned by someone with a different name.

Simple question
 

Were there more battlefields in the Civil War or on eBay selling cardboard?

Great Lakes is not affiliated in anyway with the Battles clan however both have the same basic business model. Great Lakes is the DePatie brothers and they have 4 or 5 buying IDs on ebay.

LOL. Jumps in to say he’s not broke and has an auction coming up in April. Completely ignores the elephant in the room.

It's an art form, appearing responsive when you aren't.

Interesting note on their buying ID’s.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You guys need to send Daniel an invoice for his March and April "banner ad".

We may be getting info from the same source, but I was just told the same thing directly from someone who didn't get paid. Paid with an e-check that bounced. Wonder if the previous issues keep them from using PayPal at all?? And the buying Ebay ID was different than any I've seen on here. Yet the buyer was Battles from Dothan, AL.

So you are saying you or someone in your clan didn't bounce at least one e-check on at least one large ebay purchase? If you say no, then I know you are f*cking lying!

I am sure Ben is reporting what he was told accurately. It would be nice if one person who sold cards to Daniel that in turn were sold by Battlefield would rise above their self-interest and come forward.

Does it even matter? Some of the people here would bid if Charles Manson was selling a card they “need”. Nobody in this business is punished until the FBI shows up.

After the post above the web site shows a second auction which was to begin on March 24 and to close on April 7. No preview, no catalog, no rules, nada, nada, nada. I guess the second auction was cancelled and we have moved on to the third auction, but the dates you just stated for your April auction are not on the web site. If the second auction is currently in progress, I apologize, and offer a bid of $23 on lot #13. If you would be so kind as to tell me what I have bid on, I would appreciate it.

Ole' Charlie is no longer selling cards or anything else!!

I tease...I tease......but I do certainly agree with you!

lol

Oh, and suddenly McAfee is telling me that the site is now risky to visit.

That is funny............

And even then, Dan, unless it results in prison time and an inability to do business in the hobby in the future, if they had a card someone wanted, people could not get to their money fast enough.

Bump
 

Frank, I'll go to $27 on Lot #13. I think it's a PSA 6 T206 Honus.

Methinks something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

https://secure.i.telegraph.co.uk/mul...m_2890472b.jpg

And even then, at least in one case, once their time is up they go right back to work for an AH.

If anyone finds these scammers on ebay again please PM me. I can't speak for ebay but I don't think ebay wants those guys around any longer pulling the crap they have been pulling....whoever they are.

Candiman/eBay
 

This confirms that eBay seller "sipeemend1" is also Candiman auctions, although I would like to point out that there isn't anything wrong with trying to sell their unsold auction lots on eBay. (As long as they aren't selling altered cards or using photoshopped scans.) They are also using the same selling techniques - small scans that cannot be enlarged and no back scans.


One of the unsold auction lots is below:


Lot #1356: Lot of 38 1986 Topps Tiffany Baseball Cards - /5,000 - ALL New York Mets - High Grade - Mint to Gem Mint http://candimanauctions.com/LotDetai...ventoryid=1360

Current eBay auction from Candiman:

Item image
Lot of 38 1986 Topps Tiffany Baseball Cards - /5,000 - ALL New York Mets - Mint

https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odk...ffany&_sacat=0

I will go out on a limb and say that ebay's rules don't allow people who get the boot to re-register under a different id.

Little Rock is 568 miles from Dothan according to Google. Cousin?

Damn, why did I have to out myself as a bidder?

I’ll raise you to $34 on #13.:p

eBay
 

Yes, I forgot about that. That makes this a totally different scenario.

Sheesh, did you not read what Daniel said?

"I want to start out by saying that we completely disavow eBay seller "Battlefield". We do not in any way, shape, or form support their actions on eBay over the past several years. We find their actions despicable and we advised them to shut down their business because their reputation in the collecting community has been completely destroyed and no true collector would ever want to deal with them."

Peter, Peter, Peter

Sometimes you disappoint me.

Little Rock, Alabama is literally a stone’s throw from Dothan out toward Mobile on I-65.

What's that got to do, got to do with it?

Item location:

Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

They might be disavowing themselves though. Has anyone ever seen these guys WITH their parents?

Deception.

If the zip code is 36502, the package was mailed from Alabama indeed.

Little Rock, Alabama is a fine little town

Yes, that's my whole point, that the listing is deceptive.

Since when is it illegal for an Auction House to have their unpaid/unsold inventory & excess/cheaper inventory that's not high quality enough to be included in a website auction sold on eBay or any other auction site?

You guys really need to find a new obsession. We are Candiman Auctions. For the 1,000,000th time we are NOT Battlefield. We are doing things the right way. If you want to read everything that has already been discussed please go back to the original thread I posted. There is no point in debating this over and over and over again.

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=252144

Our next auction will be open for preview 1 week from today and will run from April 14 to April 28. I promise you guys will be more pleased with what we are offering this time around. We have a lot more graded cards in this upcoming auction. Two of the biggest are a PSA 7 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle and a PSA 8 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle. Both gorgeous cards. We also have PSA graded 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays RC's.

eBay
 

The eBay history is interesting. They started using this username on Aug 29 of 2017. They started by selling X-Box items, and then switched to selling comic books. They didn't starting selling cards until about a month ago.

They have 280 selling feedbacks, with 1 negative, 1 neutral, and 4 that were revised from negative/neutral to positives. Several positive feedbacks complain about poor communication, slow shipping, no PayPal, and some of the flaws in certain items were not disclosed.

YOU really need to answer questions if you want to have any credibility, and not keep avoiding them by asserting what great guys you are.

Peter,

Has anyone posted that they had a bad experience with us from our March 2018 auction? The only reviews I've seen on here have all been positive yet you guys still continue to try and bully us and bring us down.

As Rick and other higher up people we have spoken to in the industry have said, there is a group of about 10 or so guys on here who you will never please no matter what you say. We don't have time to go back and forth with you guys everyday. You might have the time but we don't.

We are about to run our second auction and we are very busy with getting that ready to go live. Time will prove you guys wrong but I'm sure no matter how many positive experiences people post on here it will never be good enough for some of you.

Daniel & Justin

I am not sure you really want to go there. There are numerous sellers about whom everyone here has nothing but good things to say. Don't blame us, blame you.

Tell me this, has anyone returned a card to you? Just wondering. And answer the question about why you are listing items as located in Little Rock, Arkansas please. And while we are at it, are you affiliated with the ebay ID lexus1584?

Peter,

I'm just repeating what I've been told. Nothing more. Blame me for what? Being guilty by association? Every single person on this forum can be found guilty by association with someone if you are using that logic. Are we all supposed to be punished for the sins of people we have an association with?

1 card returned by Ed and I'm sure he will let you guys know that he had a positive experience with us and plans to bid in our future auctions. That's it. The location is Little Rock, AR because we have a friend that lives there that is selling our unsold/unpaid lots and excess inventory or lower grade inventory that's not high quality enough to put on the website. We don't have time to sell on eBay and run an Auction House at the same time. He's getting 10% of the sales price of every item that sells. It's a win for both of us. Is there a problem with us doing that too?

This will be the last time I can post anything until Monday. I'm heading out of town for Easter with my wife and son.

Daniel

Thank you for directly answering 2 of the 3 questions anyhow. It's interesting that you not only did not answer the third question, you chopped it off from the quote.

So the 52 Topps Jackie was returned. For me, having to return a 3K card as misrepresented would not be a "positive experience" as you describe it, but that's just me.

"Blame you" was not meant as guilt by association, but rather for being less than straightforward in responding to questions in the other thread. Many people here, not just me, had that reaction as you saw for yourself.

And the ONLY reason you have to go back and forth is because you avoid answering all the questions and have not really been as transparent or truthful as you claim.

Please do make sure to remind us again how great your April auction is going to be because so far that has been all that has stuck with me from what you have posted this time around.

And Daniel, you can be 100% honest. No matter what the truth is as long as you have a card a guy wants for his collection or a card he thinks he can a make a buck on, you will not lose him as a bidder.

Was this one of the "unpaid" items?
