Beware- EBAY Seller "gregg57" does not honor autograph authenticity guaranty

tazdmb · #1 01-22-2022, 04:08 PM

I believe he purchased and dismantled the Jack Smalling autograph collection and dismantled it over eBay, along with a bunch of other prominent collection.

I have bought numerous pieces from him, this is very disappointing news.

To Jim Stinson�s credit, I know he refunded an autograph YEARS after selling it to which changed hands several times after it came back questionable.

I have known him for a lot of years. He is a collector 100% who only sells duplicates etc. He is not a dealer despite his large ebay inventory. I think like a lot of old time collectors, he probably gets frustrated with the third party authentication system when they feel like they know an item is good or know the source and then it does not pass authentication. Just a guess.

Thanks, I do know that he was frustrated but nonetheless I purchased these based on the guaranty. I tried to keep him posted all along and really didn't want to have to go "here" with this posting.

Thanks for your response, I am most disappointed in the lack of honesty and it is roughly $200 total. One was a $125 single item.

I guess his reputation is only worth $200. This is sad to me.

But the other side of the coin is that it would only be $200 to make good on his word and apparently he has refused.

Thanks, that is all I was asking, $199. I'm out the authentication fees too but I understood that risk. I do know that he has items in his possession as I sent them with tracking. I know that was at my risk too but I tried to politely appeal to him when I returned them.

We are saying the same thing.

Yup, I re-read it. Thought you were taking the other side. My fault!

I have purchased items from this seller over the years. I don't usually buy bigger ticket items though, but curious what was deemed bad? I'm assuming if you returned them and he doesn't eventually send them back to you (or if he finally refunds you), he'll likely try to sell them again it sounds like. Maybe it's worth showing which 3 items you are talking about to potentially warn a future buyer?
