Dean's Cards - Deja Vu All Over Again

Nice narrative using "honest guy" and "strong prices." Really??? He's a complete rip-off artist with his pricing, and it doesn't matter where you go--ebay, Amazon, COMC, etc.--you can't avoid his BS. He has infected everything. Ebay is Pompeii and Dean is the ash from Vesuvius. And the pictures I showed were the result of looking at ebay for a mere 7 seconds. If I spent any time on it, I could post a million other examples of his ridiculousness. If you enjoy paying his laughable prices, feel free and have fun, it's your money. Me? I'll buy the same cards from other sellers at half the price.

I share the frustration of his inflated priced cards dominating all the major websites

Every time you see their dumbass red logo on ebay in the list of cards you're looking at (I set up my searches to eliminate that ridiculous pest, but no matter how much Raid you use, some ants still appear), simply check above it or below it to find out what you 'should' be paying for the exact same card...

LOL, maybe they just need to be excited about the price to sell.

Ok. Have a nice day.

I'm with Eric.....search his sold listings and you'll see TONS of stuff sold at ridiculous prices. If people pay that, he'll keep selling at those prices. He's been around a LONG time with the same sales model. Something must be working for him even if it's not for the rest of US.

prices too high? don't buy from that seller. getting your panties in a bind because his listings "clog up" a website is downright laughable. ignore them and move on. if you visit the BST here for any length of time, you're used to doing that.

While I haven’t bought from him, I think back to business school. You have product, price, and service. You win on one and manage the other two. Dean prides himself on having at least one card in every grade for at least the post war issues (product). I have heard that his service is impeccable. His pricing is abhorrent to some - but I guess not everyone buys based upon price. I do, therefore he is out of my consideration set, but enough people value the rest of his business model that he can do it profitably.

I would guess that this is his best time of the year as spouses, significant others, children, etc. want to buy something for Dad. They don’t know the market and he will have what they are looking for. The last thing I would do this time of year is lower prices in that circumstance.

Plus his bubblegum war book was really good.

Over time I wonder how many threads there have been just like this about Dean, 707, Yepdog and others. Maybe they enjoy annoying the hell out of some people.
