As a collector, this sucks

[Woundedduck]

I made an offer of $32.50 which is what he paid + shipping. I'm sure it will be declined or ridiculously countered.

I would highly advise to just forget about the card and never for any reason do business or contact that seller.

Seriously they are complete psychopaths. They have been a member here with at least 2 different accounts that both have been banned.

They will send you horrible messages and attack you in every way possible for little to no reason. They are famous for screwing with people through eBay. I have had them buy stuff from me and then the day before they can no longer return it file a claim. It didn't affect me because I sell very little and have the extra $ to cover returns. Now if they did that to some people it would cause some serious hardships for the innocent people those scum harass.

agree with all of the comments on the seller. stay far away. as a public service, he also is on eBay as thebaseballmachine. you will want to block that name too.

I know what you mean, just forget about it. He has 1 card I need that he outbid me on probably 2 or 3 years ago. Unfortunately for me, this is the only copy that has come up for sale in probably the last 5-10 years. I thought I was a bit crazy bidding over $1k for the card. He now has it listed for between $2k-3k at different times. Obviously, I'm still waiting for another copy to show up. He's also sent me offers to buy stuff which I've always declined. I would have taken the offer from someone else but I've chosen not to deal with him.

Feel the same way. I see stuff he has which I am interested in and just will not buy from him or even communicate with him. I truly think he is a psycho.

ps....I should add, I actually don't have a big problem with him asking whatever he wants to for the card. Maybe he thought it was worth 4x what he paid. But he is not someone I would ever want to deal with. If he was a cool seller I would make an offer if I still wanted it and it was way overpriced. I have bought quite a few things where I made +/-50% offers and they were accepted.

This seller is horrible in every way. Consider that particular card destroyed; you will never get it and you don’t want to deal with that guy. Lesson here is if you really want something, bid big to win it and if you overpay, so be it. It’s better to overpay and have the card than save a few bucks and be taunted by it listed on eBay for the next 3 years.

Finally a thread we all agree on. Have a great day everyone!

[Scocs]

I want to know why the card now has a green Jewish star on it. Was Rick Ferrell Jewish?

[Rhotchkiss]

DJ, I just looked at his listings trying to guess which card you really want. I have my ideas and won’t guess publicly, but I gotta say the dude has some pretty rare stuff. My favorite is the T3 Walter Johnson “headless variant” - he is trying to sell half a Wajo!

Maybe it's his response to PWCC's rating system.

This is why you won't get the card. Sending him an offer less than what he paid
after ebay fees is just poking the bear. If you really want it just offer him 50 or
60 bucks and be done with it.

[x2drich2000]

Greg, just curious, do you set up with him at the white plains show?

[C-mack]

I just had an exchange with him on a t212 ten million unfortunately. Offer him 70 over what it just sold for month ago and he counter with a rude message and asking for double...super lame

[Goudey77]

Funny. Toppsaholic just sent me an offer with an added message posing as a little girl named lili asking pretty please to accept the offer.

He might actually continue to email you telling you how stupid you are and basically attacking you. He's harassed people I know for months because they tried to explain to him why his prices were ridiculous. The guy is nuts.

Yes, he helps me with the security camera set up also. He comes off
wacky over the internet/ebay, but is totally different in person. I don't
have an answer for why this is but I suggest everybody who is curious
to actually meet him in person at a show and prove me wrong.

Also if anybody ever wants to meet me: I am Greg. I wear a Purple shirt
at every show

oh please. save it.

[calvindog]

I once pointed out to him that his ridiculous price on an utterly low-grade, dogshit Cobb item was like 7x what it was worth. He then proceeded to mention me in his auction listing for the item, chastising me for not knowing what the item was worth and insisting because he paid $1500 for it (he was listing it at over 5K at the time) the card was worth at least $1500. I had mentioned it was worth $500 I believe. Anyway, two years later, the card remains on eBay and when he listed it for under 2K with a best offer option no one bit. He's since removed me from his listing. I don't remember him as being mean-spirited, just a delusional idiot.

Edited to add: in his eBay listing he mentioned "sometimes even the best lawyers in the world don't know what they're talking about." So I enjoyed that.

Is he the one that pretended to be a woman and posted about the theft of your 51B Mantle? I seem to recall that but am not 100 percent on the details.

LOL, I had forgot about that, Great guy otherwise. EDIT: To add i believe he(they) also had a 3rd ID on here as larrydavidfan33, that one was really shot lived.

Probably sitting beside each other while posting about the missing(maybe) Mantle.

If I'm right that he is NotVader who posted one of the most improbable posts in history, about joining the forum just to report what by miraculous coincidence she just happened to see at the National while accompanying her uncle or whoever it was, and wanted to find Greg to let him know, then why if Greg knew the post was fake didn't he disclaim it?

Ha. Mantle still has not been recovered. I had no involvement with the Vader woman postings but I did get a good laugh out of it.

I think this hobby/industry needs a tv show or a movie. There is more than enough content to extract from.
