Advice please....anyone here ever dealt with Toppsaholic???

[bobbyw8469]

I got this guy sending me message after message on Ebay asking me to remove him from my blocked bidder list. Honestly, I forget what he did to get on it in the first place. I believe in 2nd chances as well, but didn't know if others had horror stories involving this guy or is he A-OK to deal with?

I believe he was banned on here, Bobby, but I forget the reasons why, exactly?

Very unpredictable personality. Sells a lot of hard to find off beat Topps stuff. I have bought from him without issues. Others report different experiences. I think was booted from CU too but that is a large club

It is my understanding that the original buyout price was $75. A large shareholder said that wasn't enough. They valued the stock at $92. The buyer said, OK I will pay $92 then. That was the last I heard of the situation. Maybe you know more than I do?

I didn't know sellers could see they were on a list like that.

The OP had Toppsaholic on his Blocked List. Toppsaholic could easily find out once he tried to bid on the OP's Auction..........

Feel free to pm me for my experience.

He seems like a truly unhinged person. Once, he had an OC card with a really high BIN price, but also a best offer option, so I simply asked him what would be the lowest amount he would accept. Just a casual, straightforward question from a potential buyer. But his reply was something out of crazytown, spewing all sorts of hate at me for even asking the question. Multiple messages from him, even though I never replied to his first outburst. It was as "WTF?" as you could possibly get.

My email history shows that I bought a PSA slabbed T206 off the seller in 2017. It was a completely unremarkable transaction.

I have never dealt with him, but I have noticed him. His prices are usually very, very high.
The Battersbox had a low grade, graded 1962 Jell-O card. It was a 1 or a 2, and it wasn't one of the rare ones. Battersbox had it for sale for a long, long time. They kept dropping their price. I think it got around $12.50, and Toppsaholic bought it. He immediately reposted it for $100 , even though it sat unsold for a very long time, at a much lower price.
I have seen him do the same with other cards. As I say, he has very high prices.

During the past few years I bought a couple of items from him with no problems. A couple of months ago, I made an offer on one of his cards. He didn't respond, but he raised the price on the card.

I called him an jerk, and he sent 2 responses. The first was that he reevaluated the card and realized he had it priced too low. (He didn't. It was priced way too high) The second response was that I need to be careful because he knows my home address and my email address.

I don't know if he followed through, but shortly after that response I started receiving emails from gambling sites and porn sites. It may have originated from him, but I don't know for sure.

That is likely one of the only people on all of eBay where no matter what the card is and how much I want it or have been looking for years, I would pass without a second thought.

I bought a pre-war card from him last week. It arrived yesterday. The only thing unusual about the transaction was how exceedingly well-packed the card was.

I just had this happen. I was searching for a card. It popped up at a great price. Then I seen who the seller was, needless to say I still need the card.

[ALR-bishop]

If it was at a great price maybe he has seen this thread and was setting a trap for you Ben.

I have him on my Ignore List here. I can't remember if it was precipitated by a direct interaction we had or something with another member boiling over.
