Explain to me what is crazy about it? That he satisfies high end customers and f's over the lesser along with shilling auctions? Doesn't seem crazy to me. It sounds right on point.

Nothing...

With all the fraud in our hobby being brought to light….having that thought or concern cross one’s mind seems far from crazy. Now if you said aliens from area 51 were taking the cards off world…I would agree that’s crazy everyone knows aliens hate baseball.

Jason- My response of "being crazy" was based on your point about him stealing cards being not to far of a stretch...Nothing at all pertaining shilling accusations...

Yeah, I can't imagine a guy who is willing to break the law one way in his auctions being tempted to break it in another way. Like maybe obstructing justice, altering cards, selling fakes, etc. etc. I mean it's not like such a guy was in the news say, a few days ago, doing the same thing. Just impossible to imagine.

Jeff- I was simply pointing out accusations of Probstein stealing cards. That's laughable. These threads about bid shilling have been going on since King Kong was a squirrel monkey....Where does it get us? What is the resolve?

Kevin, I'm at a loss in trying to decipher your point here. You might as well say "How does the prosecution and conviction of multiple owners of auction houses get me 8 OC T206 cards?"

Why are drug dealers prosecuted? After all, illegal drugs are still on the street. Why do we prosecute stock market fraudsters? Fraud in the market still exists. What's the resolve?

I am confused how "good customer service", "the process of moving", and the same old threads of "shilling accusations" hide the fact (I am taking the OP at face value as this is a believable story based on prior accusations) that the seller is refusing to return property that he does not own. Furthermore, claims that he doesn't even know where items are and offers to allow the consignor to come and search for it himself? I have not done business with this guy and would not even think about it. If I was moving, maybe a break in sales would be called for. When I am selling items for people, I treat them as priority one as far as safety and security goes. Then again, I am not a big time eBay seller, I am only a caveman lawyer.

Blah, blah, blazzy blah.

All those threads do help in my opinion, the problem is some people ignore what a piece of work he is and still do business with him anyway. Because as we all know $ is king. The only thing that will be laughable is when Rick screws over the people that stick up for him, then I will laugh.
