How impatient are you? and another thing
Posted By: leon
I thought a good topic might be about the mental "I want it now" aspect of our collecting. As ya'll know I just had a few cards go off of ebay. It was interesting to see that most buyers are the same way I am. Once we win something we just can't wait to get it. And as Jay M. would say...."yeah, I am excited about getting it, then I get it, put it in my safety deposit box, and forget about it, basically " With most buyers, and this might be a mistake, I will send the card(s) out as soon as I get their address via email. Of course if I was selling something for a lot of money I would need to know the seller very well to do that. Several of the buyers emailed me and asked about getting their cards out asap and gave pretty good stories, which I have absolutely no probs with. I always oblige as I like mine quick too. One other thing, a disgruntled board member actually emailed me and asked why, with all of my auctions, there was no thread about my cards. I politely told him that I don't sell trimmed cards without mentioning it or else I would get slammed too..He said he has great feedback.. My question would be "so does that now make the card not trimmed?"..it's really that easy....regards all |

I sell often Leon and since 1998 on ebay, I have never held a check for less than $500. I ship right away, I figure a person's reputation is worth alot more. Most people are honest. I had 1 bounced check, it was for $30 and the guy made good on it. I have also shipped $8000 worth of cards immediately upon receiving payment but like you said, I need to be very familiar with whom I am dealing with, Hi JC! dan. |

A couple weeks ago i paid about double what a card i really wanted was worth just so the guy would end the auction early,paid him by paypal so he would ship the next day then the guy ended up not mailing the card for 10 days.....Needless to say i was a little mad but then it turned to happiness when i got the card |

Hello Dan, you are correct once again on your statement of shipping high dollar cards without putting a hold on my check. You over achieved in our transaction and you even let me name the price! You are an honest and funny person, which are good qualities in our hobby. I do think you are out of luck on the PSA deal. You have no hard facts to support your claim (I and many others believe you though). Your word against theirs. I might start at the top and use a lot of SUGAR when dealing with them. |

before my money order has arrived. It occasionally happens, usually with people I've alreasdy bought a lot of stuff from. i was once very embarassed when I sent, and told seller I'd sent, a Money Order by Priority mail to Chicago, and he promptly send out the card. Berkeley being the "***hole of the universe" for sending mail, my Priority mail money order arrived in Chicago 3 weeks later! |

would realize that many of the board members and other ebayers ARE NOT dealers - we have children who get sick, some of us have no back-up (my dog can lick envelopes, but that's it), we have day jobs that require a lot of our time, we don't live next door to a Post Office, etc,etc... |
