Seller on BST Edward Broeth

[botn]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that board member, benderbroeth, Edward Broeth, is not someone to be trusted. On Nov 17 I paid him $185 via paypal for a lot of cards he was trying to sell. To date I have received nothing and none of the 4 emails I have sent have been responded to. Edward has not logged onto Net 54 since completing the transaction with me but has been active on PSA's board under the same id, benderbroeth. Maybe someone reading this is also member over there and wants to warn those folks in case Edward has more to "sell".

The contact info I have for Edward is:

vintagecollectors@yahoo.com
benderbroeth123@msn.com

Hoping this will prevent someone else from getting robbed by this guy. It is a shame that someone actually places their reputation on any amount of money but for $185???? Seems Edward needs much more than money.

There has been at least one instance of something similar happening over at PSA. I am a member there but this is old news over there, unfortunately. The buyer in question eventually got his cards but it was 2 or 3 months later and the packing job left a lot to be desired. I hope this works out for you.

Thank you for your efforts to keep our hobby clean, Greg.

Hi Greg

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm a new member on the PSA boards, but it would probably be best for you to post this on their board. Hearing it first hand from you would be better than second hand from me. The guys and gals over there will probably have a few questions too. It only takes a few minutes to set up an account and its free.

Thanks Again

Jantz

I would love to post this over at CU but I am not really welcome. Simply putting up a thread with a link to this one may save someone some money.

They have had their issues with him as well. I have never done business with him. He did email me last week about working a deal on a card, I replied twice and heard nothing back

Unfortunately, in our hobby we should be fortunate that at least one guy is willing to destroy a reputation for just $185 and not millions.

By the way, is it true that Edward's webmaster claims he's a Great Guy?

Hi Fred,

It was this lot. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=117051
I really did not even want the lot but I knew the guy needed the money and there were a couple of cards I could have used. Oh well.

Best,
Greg

Hey Greg, just curious if you tried calling the number.....good luck with this one and thanks for bringing it to our attention!

It's been eight days. Give it 'til ten perhaps?

[botn]

I did call and it is a generic outgoing message.

Hi. I am not a big poster over here, mostly on the PSA boards. This guy (Ed) is notoriosly slow to complete his transactions. There is a giant thread over on PSA about this. I have had transactions with him, and the last one ( a trade) took 3 months to complete. I think he is an honest guy, just peculiar in his behavior - I can tell from the email discussions we have had . I think he is good for the cards you have purchased, it will probably just take longer than the normal transaction. Chris

[benderbroeth]

cards have been sent and should be there by at least monday, i was out of town for the holidays and i was away from a computer until today and had no time to respond until now.

[calvindog]

Woopsie.

[benderbroeth]

and now grea will not answer any of my emails...i wonder if he got the cards and is trying to get away with stealing my cards?

Upon review of your posts on another board, posts were made on November 20, 21, 22 & 23. So you can make posts, but can't check your email????? I do suppose that someone else could have used your profile while you were away

Common courtesy would have been to inform the buyer that there would be a delay in shipping because of whatever reason you may have.

No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

My two cents worth.....


Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
