When my finances got back onto gear I purchased 3 cards from him and paid right away. I called him multiple times because I felt bad and for him sending the cards first I told him NOT to do that...and I was happy he did not he knows this!!! I remember telling glad you did not send me the cards because I would have felt like a ass...again he knows this.

Actually, what I did not state is that while he was not able to pay for what he purchased from me, I checked his purchases and he was able to purchase and pay others. Maybe his vet was selling cards.

WOW, can't believe this thread warrants 83 (now 84) replies. It seems like more and more these days, board members are much more interested in participating in controversy-type threads as opposed to educational ones.

educational content is thin in the vintage card world!!!

But most of us vintage collectors are not.

He did that to my friend. He paid for at least two items he won subsequent to the auction he reneged on, or at least he has feedback for them.

I purchased multiple items had to cancel some and paid for the others (used the rest for the vet bill)...simple as that...but from now on I can see the frustration it can cause so I will TRY SO very hard to prevent this for reoccurring. I apologize to those that I affected and promise to minimize this in the future.

When I 1st started to collect baseball cards a few months ago I was very confused at what I was going to collect....now I know what my focuses are I will have a much better time knowing what I am doing and not doing.

I want to build the 52 Topps set (since I have the Mantle this makes it that much easier) so far I have 13 cards and 4 of those are nice looking high numbers and the other 9 are also nice looking for the grade (s);

I want to collect T206 cards (HOF players mostly and error cards)

and

I want to put together the most Mantle cards I can in PSA 8.

So now that you're focused there will be no more coin deals falling through, late paychecks, government delay, sick pets or family issues? How are these related? Seems to me you're verifying that these earlier explanations were just BS.

Why don't you simply honor the first post in this thread and please, just go away.

Adrian I feel I have always been decent with you. My advice is that you can not mend broken trust in a day. Do the right thing day after day and after awhile people will come around. Also, do not name call others who point out your mistakes, they are your mistakes own them. As an auctioneer I can tell you non-paying bidders cause huge problems. The consignor sees that the items sold for XXX and they want their money understandably. Now because someone who over extended their finances cannot pay, I have to apologize to the consignor and hope they accept it and do not sue me in court. You might be thinking that these were Ebay purchases, but trust me there is a lot of consignment on Ebay. You really do not know everyone you are hurting when you do this. Take for example a 1952T Mantle PSA graded like yours, it gets sold bidder backs out. The seller trying to sell this has to explain why this item is being resold and many bidders will not trust him no matter what he says. The backup bidder might feel shilled and he is out. People may wonder if the item is fake or the previous buyer returned it and was unhappy with it. I can tell you from experience I hate reselling items from unpaid bidders they almost never do as well. I still am not hating on you Adrian, but thought maybe I could give you some perspectives you may not have realized.

. I have not followed this saga in other posts but really don't understand. What do you mean,.."I purchased multiple items and had to cancel some...". Why is that statement not infuriating people, had to cancel some? That's ridiculous. You bid for something and win, you pay for it. On several occasions I have bid erroneously for something and felt it was my obligation to pay for it, if I made the mistake then I take responsibility for it and do what's right.

Yup. I must have purchased 5000 items on ebay. A few were totally stupid (probably too many beers) and I regretted them, but I paid (and I sure am not wealthy). Don't know how it is in Canada, but where I grew up I was taught my word was written in stone. I have seen a neat card come up a million times that I wanted, but all I had to do was look at the bank account and see I had to pass.

Funny, that's what I was taught also, despite living up here in Canada.

I was taught the same growing up in Wisconsin, despite it's close proximity to Canada.
