Is this bothering anyone else.

[CrazyDiamond]

I have noticed this with other sellers and never really gave it much thought but it did remind me of an issue i had with ebay.

I saw an autographed bat that was listed with a best offer - i made an offer and the seller countered. I felt that the the counter price was very reasonable so i committed to buy and immediatley paid for the item.2 weeks went by and i did not receive the item so i contacted the seller with no response. I looked at his listing and the bat was relisted.

I contacted ebay asking for help. They suggested I put a claim in - which i did and was immediatley refunded by the seller.

The thing that bothers me was that he made the offer to me, decided not to send it and then sold it again for a few more dollars that what i origianlly paid.

Sorry - alittle off your topic but i was very frustrated by the situation and thought i would share as well

I DID notice that this guy likes to list his name in his listing titles...which I thought was kinda odd?

The cards also usually seem to have very high asking prices as well. I have noticed the listings pop up recently in my emailed search results. Since he is nice enough to list his name I know to just skip over them when I see those listings.

This seller has long had a couple of WaJos that I wouldn't mind having, but I'm not about to pay his prices. He lists his location as being Alexandria, VA, which is not far from where I live (and, where I was born), but I don't know this dealer.

To the OP's question: Yes, it used to bother me. Now? No, it doesn't bother me at all.

To Peter's statement: I am so glad he started putting his username in the titles. Now, most of my searches are something like "T206 -mikedenero" and all his listings (at least the ones with his name in the title) are excluded. Nothing against the seller as I have bought from him before, but I find the prices too high and this is a great way to skip over them. I wish more of the overpriced sellers would put their name in the title.

Just FYI, Dean's Cards has done the same with their name in the title. Again, it makes my searches a lot more pleasant.

I have bought from Mike before. I have even concluded deals with him soley by text message, which for me is great. If you buy from him off ebay he will pass his fee savings on to you and if you pay by check he'll pass the paypal savings to you, too, which is nice. I only buy from him, though, when he has something I really want and can't find anywhere else, which is rare.

The name in the title I actually find helpful and no more bothersome than PWCC or anyone else that does it. What does slightly irk me is his business strategy, in that he buys at auction on ebay then doubles the price in his own BIN....so if his prices seem high, that's because they are. At the end of the day he's free to do as he pleases and his practices bother me no more than a lot of the other bozos on ebay. In all fairness, though, he's a fairly reasonable guy and I trust him to deliver once the check goes in the mail.

Pass on all of his auctions, same withDeans Cards. Have screened both out of my searches. Sounds to me like he runs his shop the way he wants. That is fine, I buy from who I want. Sounds like I am not alone in this.

[the-illini]

Nothing against Mike Denero personally, but his re-listing of his auctions is so frequent that I had to exclude him in my saved searches, which is a pain in the ass in its own right...

[The Nasty Nati]

Agreed with Dean's Cards, his prices are through the roof. Often he lists his buy it now prices as nearly double the price as the same card in the same grade (sometimes even more than a card with an even better grade). Makes no sense to me, but I suppose you're free to list what you want. Just seems like a poor business model.

Denero posts the same hockey cards over and over too, pretty anoying and his prices are way over the top. He does have some great cards though and he can price his cards any price he wants.

It is a little bothersome that he does that, but he also helps everyone out by putting his name in every auction title, which allows you to get rid of any search results from him if you so choose to.

Deans cards is another in the T206 search that is annoying from time to time because he lists so many and they all have high prices on them. He has only sold five T206 cards in the last two months, but he has 452 active auctions. At least Mike Denero has reasonable prices and he has sold almost half of his cards in that same time frame
