Anybody ever dealt with ebay Irishhosta Sportscards?

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Anyone ever bought from these guys? Curious how accurate there assesment of grades might be...as well as how often they actually accept best offers?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>They are fine and are lurker board members. Without me even looking check their feedback. It will be great. You can always make an offer to anyone for anything. All they can say is no. Good luck with your deal. No worries with them....

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Do/did they have any connection with Fritsch? I recall a period when they were bidding heavy on big #s on T206's, and asking Art Martineau about that possibility.

Posted By: <b>Frank Evanov</b><p>One deal with them. Card was overgraded. Also would not leave EBAY feedback until I did first which I always find a bit annoying.<br><br>Frank

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Didn't they have large scans up? Was there something not mentioned or that couldn't be seen? I have never had an issue with them in several transactions. I do disagree about not leaving the feedback first, as the seller. So I agree with you on that issue...

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>some people thought they were associated with the guys at BMW because if I remember correctly the ladies name was Diane Wentz and they were in Wisconsin. Last time I looked, they show Florida now......<br />

Posted By: <b>daryle</b><p>I have dealt with them several times with no problems. From what I can remember, I believe too that the contact is a lady by the name of Diane Wentz

Posted By: <b>anthony</b><p>i've made several more than fair offers on cards and none were ever accepted...not even responded to or denied, just expired. and i'm using the "completed" items section as a guide, then adding a few more bucks for inflation and mark up and never have won anything...maybe in their defense, they were lower priced cards. the higher priced cards seem to have more "room to play with"...<br /><br />and yes leon, their feedback is really good

Posted By: <b>John Basilone</b><p>I believe they did have/had a relationship with BMW sportscards. BMW is at least hosting some icons in their auction templates. The template design is also similar to BMWs. I've heard that Diane is the sister. <br /><br />For example, in the below eBay auction, you will see that some of the icons (Thank You, Email) are hosted by BMW.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8825021783" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8825021783</a>

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>I have had similar experience as that described by Anthony. <br /><br />When I have asked questions/requested scans, they have been very prompt and professional with their responses.<br /><br />Mike

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>denied any connecton. That was in the old Fullcountbcc days....don't know why they did unless they didn't want to associate with lower grade cards. I bought a few things over the years from Irishhosta. No problems. Quick shipping. They do the feedback hostage thing where you have to leave it to get it as someone said earlier. Other than that, very professional.......

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Offer not responded to as of yet....which has always been the case for me. BTW Denny if you see this shoot me an email about our other transaction. Thanks.

Posted By: <b>David G</b><p>I thought Irishhosta was Henderson. One of the few other large Wisconsin dealers

Posted By: <b>Harry Wallace (HW)</b><p>I bought from them once. It went fine.<br /><br />They were very general about the grade and asked me to refer to the scan with any questions.
