Stolen Card on Ebay

[buymycards]

Hi Greg,
I am not pleased at all. Just posting his response. I do not know Kevin although I do remember purchasing a few items from his ebay store a few years ago when I was putting together a low grade set of 33 Goudeys. I sent him the link through the ebay messaging system and his response was through the ebay messaging system.

My personal feeling is that something is rotten in Denmark.

Flavius, My daughter recently lost a wallet in a department store that contained over $200.00 in it ,along with her drivers licence and school ID. The person who found it never returned it. My daughter had just gotten her licence 6 months earlier . My son happened to be Home from college for the Chrismas Break and found a Wallet while shopping for gifts at Lord and Taylor. The wallet had over $600.00 IN CASH AND CREDIT CARDS along with the persons ID. When he came home he emmidiately looked up the person and contacted the lady who lost the wallet and returned it with all of the cash.
The person who found my daughters wallet had your idea of what one should do (Finders Keepers) Not thier fault ... My son had my idea of what to do when you find or recieve something that does not belong to you.

Some People jUst Do the right THing while others are Just Sleeze

John,

You have to take a little credit here. Your son was raised with the right values.

Flavius, even thinking like you do shows your true character. You are someone I, and I am sure many others, would just assume not deal with. You don't step over a dime to pick up a penny! You will lose more money by destroying your reputation than the item you got for "free" from that dealer/auction house that was just dying to give you the card they obviously wanted you to have for free when they filled out the shipping address on the envelope when two seconds of investigation would show that the item belongs to someone else. Using the law to try to justify incorrect behavior because it skirts around the law is shortsighted at best.

There is a long-time collector of Zeenut cards out there that I have traded with on several occassions, typically when I have cards he needs he will send me his entire stock of duplicates (usually 100-150 cards) and it is understood that if I am taking any of his I need I then have to replace the ones I take with ones he needs. By your warped sense of morality since he addressed that package to me, dammit, those are now my cards!?! When dealing with other collectors through the mail there is implicit trust involved and you, Flavius, are NOT to be trusted given the apparent way your brain functions.

This hobby is a very small place and once a reputation has been soiled or ruined it is very difficult to get it back. There are examples of people that used to frequent this board that have all but disappeared due to various shady and/or unethical acts, most of us do this for fun and when you deal with losers it isn't fun.

(That being said, it is still possible to make a living in this hobby with a terrible reputation as d-bags are still out there and apparently someone likes them?)

So true John. Nice parenting on your part. Admittedly I had little parenting as a child, due to very unfortunate circumstances, and made some poor choices growing up. On the other hand I am quite confident my 16 yr old daughter would make the same decision your son did. Kudos to you and he.
