An ebay seller issue.....

[bnorth]

Raising the price when someone make an offer on a card seems to be a trend. It has happened to me a few times lately.

[the 'stache]

The text on the back of this card is between Brown and Black in color. Because of the way this card was printed, the text on back, while not entirely Brown, is more Brown than most of the typical Black Old Mill cards you will encounter. In addition to the Brown/Black color, because all known Brown Old Mill backs are hand-cut and this card is factory cut, it cannot be considered a Brown Old Mill. Nevertheless, it is an interesting curiosity at a fraction of what a true Brown Old Mill will cost.

Really?

I have had the utmost professional experience from this seller. Mario, your post makes no sense to me when you say the "buyer" backed out of the deal. Were you the buyer? I would also go out on a limb and say they have far more knowledge in vintage sportscards than all of the posters on this thread combined. I am not in any way affiliated but will say I have done business for many years......well before this board blew up and say that I have never had a negative experience. If you do not like the prices then just move on down the road. Sounds like a case of sore ass spoiled child syndrome to me.

I have purchased some 52 Topps from them in years past without a problem. I also was not sure I completely followed what the OP said had happened.

I think he meant to say the seller, not the buyer, backed away?

If you mean in terms of ripping people a new one, then yes, you are probably right!

How can you "rip" people a new one when they have to hit the purchase button. You make no sense in your statement. Are you eluding that they sell altered, reprint items, or just take money and do not deliver product? To me those fall into the perimeters of "ripping" off. Please elaborate.

LOL what does this mean? Like a Bill Mastro type tirade when a collector wouldn't sell him the cards he wanted at the low-ball price he was offering?

I agree with the above that you posted. If I had to create a list of honest, pleasant sellers over the last ten years, Irishhosta would definitely make the list.

And Jason, Irishhosta has no reason whatsoever to respond to this thread. A proven, honest seller ignoring ridiculous public assertions is not an indication of guilt.

Seems the OP is alluding to a deal in which a seller backed out. Or something along those parameters.

I love how you know exactly who is making "ridiculous public assertions". Just because your personal experience & putting the seller on your nice list doesn't make you the judge and jury. You obviously have your opinion and seem to have great difficulty in accepting the fact other people have other opinions than your own without attacking them.
I have no idea if they are honest or not but at a glance their prices on T206's seem absurd to me.
& Mario, good luck on collecting. My only advice to you is lay off those Cheetos-

Thanks Jason for the comment, "Sounds like a case of sore ass spoiled child syndrome to me." You clearly do not know me, but I would appreciate an attempt to get to know you before making a remark of that magnitude. Respectfully submitted, Mario Borgerding

Don't sweat it, Mario. It looks like Jason and the Wentz family are buddies with these kinds of comments. When people drop down to name calling and other similar insults, that's usually when they don't really having any backing behind their arguments and are trying to divert the thread elsewhere. If irishhosta did back out of an agreed deal and then up the BIN price, that's a very poor business practice and bad customer service.

What is wrong with being buddies with the Wentz family?

Absolutely nothing, in fact I would consider doing business with them in the future. I'm simply asking them to 'honor' a price we had agreed to.

Unfortunately for buyer and seller, there was a misinterpretation of the negotiated selling price and concerns have been voiced here. I have NO issues with their customer service or contact emails.

Scott, there is nothing wrong with being buddies or defending Irishhosta. However, there is a problem with name calling and below the belt insults. It only makes the one being defended look worse.
