Probstein typically listed less than a week after reception. Payout within a wee after auction end. Prices he gets are consistently high for eBay auctions. He is not big on communication; there is no acknowledgement of him getting your cards - they just get listed.
I use him a lot. If I ever do have an issue it is typically resolved quickly. Straightforward graded cards that are standard size go good. Raw, groups or oddball size sometimes have delays. I recommend. |

He communicated just enough to ban me from bidding on his items. - said I did a friend of his wrong, but would never go further than that...and my reputation is my bond...anyone who has dealt with me knows that. For that reason, probstein is , and always will be dead to me. What an arogant ars! There are plenty of better options out there. I intend to consign with COMC, albeit for smaller valued cards, based on a very favorable reference from a net54 friend. If you choose to go with probstein, good luck...I believe you've heard both sides now. .

I’m banned from Probstein as well. No idea why. Never bid on an auction. Only found out one time when I tried too.
However I’ve rarely heard good things about him. I just know a lot of altered cards pass through him. His name has come up lately in some of the Facebook groups and nothing very good. No communication, late to pay, terrible description in listings tend to be the complaints. Last edited by philo98; 06-18-2021 at 06:04 PM. |

payments if card returned?
If a consigned card is returned not as described, etc--how does that work--??

Have consigned with rick for 4 years. Most items are listed same day as received and lately I’ve been paid 48 hours after auction ends. Used to be with paypal but he now pays with bank deposit.

I don't have any experience consigning with him, but a few years ago he listed several cards I was after. He had the auctions end at the same exact second, so with my budget I couldn't go and increase my max bids on some of the cards if I got outbid on others, the way I could have if he had staggered the endings. I'm sure it cost him (and by extension, the consignors) money, but I don't know if that is still how he operates.

Conversely, I've had returned items sell for less. That dollar amount was deducted from my next consignment proceeds. If your consignment is a one and done, I'm unsure how Probstein handles that. |

Probstein
Only Probstein auction I participated in was a SGC A T206 HOF’er that I was able to get for $85 after taxes fees and shipping. Can’t complain one bit, but I do proceed with caution on his stuff
I will say, for those who are worried about multiple bids, you should look into some eBay sniping tools. I haven’t used them before, but have heard many people swear by them. Curious on what others opinions on sniping tools are. I don’t bid enough to justify them Matt Galvin

I’ve had issues buying from them. Ships high end cards in penny sleeves and they get damaged in shipment. Lots of negative feedback, and won’t respond to problems.

I dont bid on his stuff anymore. I won 2 cards and he only shipped one. Ebay said "it was delivered, too bad" Zero contact through ebay and the phone number they gave me. I had to get my credit card to refund me after I showed how the shipping weight for 1 card was 1/2 of the real weight...Since then, he is dead to me as well! FTG

You should upgrade to the mirror version. Spend the $6!

I use the full version. But for someone else who doesn’t use it much, maybe $6 is too much.

It's $7 now. Inflation!!! ha ha
That's per year, btw. I just created an account for it the other day but have not used it yet. I used bidnapper a few times in a free trial and it worked fine, though I only won 1 out of 4 or 5 cards I used it for. Both seem pretty easy for a basic single item. Still learning the ins and outs of Gixen, but it seems like it will do well. I don't know how many times, I have gotten busy and even with a 14 minute reminder from ebay, I forget to place a bid and a card sells for less than I would have put in. So trying this now. But at $7/year, I don't see how it can be bad. |
