4 Sharp Corners

[scottbdoug]

I have purchased from them as well, reasonable pricing usually and reasonable shipping costs. I had only one problem with them but it stopped me from buying from them since it occurred.

This is what happened:

I was on eBay the other day looking for the remaining cards from my Hall of Fame collection for the years 2014-2016. I am collecting one card of each Hall of Fame player starting from 2016 going backwards, one raw card for my wall and a second one that is graded for my storage.

I found six graded cards all from one dealer at a reasonable cost. I have purchased cards from this seller before so I figured if I was reasonable I could get a deal. I mean I wasn't buying one card I was buying six. Being a patron of the seller and buying in bulk, I figured it was a foregone conclusion that I would get the discount. Here was my correspondence:

I would like to buy these cards:

-1988 DONRUSS #644 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 10 $19.99

-1988 TOPPS #779 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 10 $24.99

-1988 TOPPS TIFFANY #779 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 9 $29.99

-1969 TOPPS #237 BOBBY COX RC YANKEES HOF PSA 7 $44.99

-1989 O-PEE-CHEE #186 RANDY JOHNSON RC EXPOS HOF PSA 9 $24.99

-1988 SCORE #638 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 10 $27.99

Since I'm a patron of your store, and I'm buying multiple items, I'm wondering if you can sell these cards to me for 150.00 +16.00 shipping (6.00+2.00+2.00+2.00+2.00+2.00, as your ad says).

If yes, can you set it up so i can purchase it as such.
The total price for the cards was $172.94 and I was asking $150.00. How reasonable do you think that is? Factor in that except for the Bobby Cox card, they all were from the junk wax era and all are easily found, don't you think $150.00 is reasonable. I'm not sure why, but the seller responded thus:

Thanks for the offer but we will pass.

I was never more surprised in my life except when my wife told me she was pregnant. I'm a bit of a hard head when it come to negotiations on used items, so when someone rejects my offers out of hand I tend to avoid them in the future. This seller has lost my business.

That was back in early 2016 and I haven't bought anything from them since. Like I said I'm a bit hard-headed when it comes to used items.
