Yes but they are usually completely ignored because no matter how bad someone is they haven't screwed everyone yet. Just ask about PWCC or Problemstein and you will get many recommendations saying how they haven't had any problems with them(that they know about).

I don't mean to be a jerk, but these threads are just so predictable.

I have found calling out the well respected honest sellers for the scammers they really are is frowned upon greatly by their friends.

Ben, this is why I don't normally respond to inquiries like this (unless they are a full blown scammer).

My favorite is when someone complains about a seller/AH/store, yet 3 months down the road they are posting a card they bought from said seller/AH/store.

One of my favorite quotes I heard a few years ago at a card show "If Satan himself was selling a 52 Topps Mantle under comps, there would be buyers."

I've had good dealings. Some real nice photos.

I avoid crapping on someone unless I've personally had a bad experience with them. Others will pass on what they've heard from others. Nice to be on your toes based on what others have been reported, but I like to traffic in personal exerience and not hearsay.

Probstein has like 100,000 positive reviews. Yet some folks here will tell you he is an absolute crook.
