Brad Lang. He has a website. Always check for a website with a large dealer.

Don’t know if he’s a member but he’s always down for a good conversation at shows.

He always has nice stuff but it’s usually out of my price range

I have known Brad for many years and have done several large deals with him (buying, selling, and trading). He is legit and I will happily give him a positive reference

Yes, I have. It was at the Philly Show in December 2022. Everything went fine. I would buy from Desert Ice again without hesitation.

Has there EVER been a thread asking about a well known ebay dealer where someone said, I had a bad experience with him, DON"T deal with him? I'm not implying anything at all bad about Brad, but I've seen these threads about some of the biggest criminals in the hobby and they always draw nothing but praise.

Now that you said that, I was thinking the same thing. Could this be a subliminal plug

Yes but they are usually completely ignored because no matter how bad someone is they haven't screwed everyone yet. Just ask about PWCC or Problemstein and you will get many recommendations saying how they haven't had any problems with them(that they know about).:eek:

I don't mean to be a jerk, but these threads are just so predictable.

I have found calling out the well respected honest sellers for the scammers they really are is frowned upon greatly by their friends.;):rolleyes::D

This thread gets really interesting if the seller/dealer starts responding. Oh hell yeah. :D

I have had members PM when they have negative feedback stories. I see nothing wrong with that. It's better than having to defend themselves from everyone willing to go toe to toe over fighting words.

It all comes down to if they have the card the buyer wants they could care less if the seller is a serial killer or a saint. Like you have said for yours Stuff Trumps all in this Industry/Hobby...the addiction is real. We have seen it time and time again Peter. It's just the way it is, always has been and always will be.

He just bought quite a bit from me at the last Chicago show in March. Very good guy to deal with. Jason

I don't personally know the owner but I've bought unopened boxes from them several times with zero issues.

Ben, this is why I don't normally respond to inquiries like this (unless they are a full blown scammer).

My favorite is when someone complains about a seller/AH/store, yet 3 months down the road they are posting a card they bought from said seller/AH/store.

One of my favorite quotes I heard a few years ago at a card show "If Satan himself was selling a 52 Topps Mantle under comps, there would be buyers."

I've had good dealings. Some real nice photos.

I avoid crapping on someone unless I've personally had a bad experience with them. Others will pass on what they've heard from others. Nice to be on your toes based on what others have been reported, but I like to traffic in personal exerience and not hearsay.

Probstein has like 100,000 positive reviews. Yet some folks here will tell you he is an absolute crook.
