BC you asked:

to annoy someone Jim could raise her hackles quickly, but she enjoyed being with him anyway.

That's funny

So just exclude him from your searches and move on. Do you have any idea how much crap we ALL have to sift through, on both the high and low end, when searching on eBay? If he's the main one clogging up your searches, count yourself lucky that you only have to exclude ONE seller from your searches.

Or better yet, if you're searching for the same stuff over and over, exclude him, save the search, and then run that saved search instead of setting up a new one every time and griping about it.

+1 on the larger scans. I would just like to see some of those early minor league photos closer up for reference purposes. But then, I think I've only ever bought 1 thing from Rhys, so I can hardly blame him for not catering to my looky-loo tendencies. (FWIW, I made him an offer offline for the one "gotta have it" photo that I did purchase, and he accepted. So maybe he's a little more reasonable than you think...)

I can't speaK for Rhys but will say I have bought somewhere around 100 items from him over the last couple of years, all off of ebay. He has worked with me on pricing on almost all of them. It's Paul's (hi Paul) right to voice his opinion too. Larger scans would help Rhys sell some more too.

There's the testimonial you've been waiting for, Rhys - you can move back away from your keyboard

My guess is that Rhys sees some additional sales as a result of Paul's thread.

Well there you go then. Good for Rhys AND good for Paul (less standing inventory to weed through)

I have never really found his prices to be all that high, some may be listed a little high but he is also one of the most flexible sellers out there, he often goes lower on items than I think he should (and I tell him that).

All that being said I am biased (he is my brother after all) but he also offers lifetime guarantees on all signed items, etc. that is virtually unheard of in this hobby. Also as an fyi, he is on vacation with his family right now so I doubt he will be commenting on this thread unless he happens upon it on his phone.

I,too, have bought a number of great items from Rhys---and Rhett as well--
and have nothing but good to say about my acquisitions and the customer care. I am happy that these
folks are willing to spend the time and efforts to make their top shelf wares
available to us. The brothers have certainly been most kind and generous in any negotiations
I have been involved with.
It is particularly delightful to have these with significant expertise selling some
of their items. I have found all negotiations to be reasonable and fair and informative.
all the best,
barry

+1 I have also purchased quite a few great items from Rhys over the last few years. He is an extremely reasonable and ethical dealer that consistently offers high quality inventory.

If you see a piece that he he's selling that you want, make him a reasonable offer.

I've found him to be an absolute pleasure to deal with, FWIW
