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.

Not so easy for a narcissist to do that, Todd.

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.

None of what I said is BS you are taking it the wrong way. One aspect I can prevent is that I know what I want to collect I NEVER said I can prevent every single thing that goes on in the universe.

I do not know what else I can say....you can do some research and come up with the exact number if you like. To you everything I say is a lie so even if I said a specific number you would not believe it and try to turn it into what pleases you!!! I know you have never liked me so no matter what I say you will always feel that way and I accept that!!! I told Leon I would stick with 15 posts a day and I have OK once I had 16 in a day....the same with this I will do what I said.


Wymers Auction

I agree 100% with you like I said here twice lesson learned the hard way and I will prevent what I can prevent in the future.

Last post for today.

. 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.

LOL.

You turned out well, despite the bad influence from the North.
