Tony Arnold. High BIN, but some very good auctions over the last few years. Reliable dealer. He had a big setup at the 2011 National.

That's great, but he's crushing the vintage card section - he needs to at least come in from Pluto and get more in the Venus or Mars range.

There is a free list day today so eBay is going to be swamped no matter what.

Tony has a very effective business model, I am sure he is doing very well on Pluto.

Maybe, but I'm not seeing it. I can no longer see Pluto - buying here on Earth. If his business model is effective, I'd love to understand it better so that I could make it work for myself, but it eludes me.

BTW - I too, cut sellers slack because they are nice people and like to drink beer. However, we give other sellers with similar business models, loads of shlt on this board. Just saying. Also, I don't know Tony - if I did, I probably would have just rolled my eyes when I saw his motherload dumped on ebay, and moved on. I did see a few cards that were overpriced but I wanted them , so I'll make an offer and see what happens. Thanks.

you removed his "handle "from searches, trashed his business and now will make a couple of offers? I can't wait to hear how that goes. Rap him upside the head if he doesn't accept your offers.

Rawn - if I report back with the results, I doubt you'll "hear" any more than you "heard" from my previous posts.

But all is not lost - I do have a solution for you: Take a large pair of forceps with your left hand, hold a mirror slightly to the the right of your face with your right hand, and use the forceps to slowly remove the large arthropod that you have wedged up your posterior. You will feel better and so will we.

Edited to add: you have to remove your pants first.

Tony Arnold (TonyEtrade) is a good hobby friend. His starting prices might be a bit high but unlike some other ebay sellers with high prices, Tony is actually a smart guy. He will give deep discounts (sometimes) depending on the card. He will work good trades out too,. He is a lot of fun to party with and has that going for him also!! We spend a fair amount of time together at each National.

He's swamping the vintage section with high BIN's - since he's your friend, and he's a smart guy, you might mention to him the effect this has on potential customers. I, for one, have removed his handle from all of my vintage searches, simply because he's made it difficult to find the legitimate auctions.

His auctions are basically useless 'noise'.
