Heritage- wow

I won a 48 Bowman set on Sunday night. I then went to pay yesterday morning with e-check. When I hit the button, I realized that it was a closed checking account from a couple of years ago (closed due to ID theft). I called about noon yesterday and they were able to void the transaction to ensure no NSF fees. I then paid on the new account about 2pm yesterday.

Overnight I received notification that my package had shipped. At 9:23 this morning it was at the front door.

The shipping fees and taxes are pretty heavy and add on to the sales price - but, I couldn’t be happier with the service. I had not bought from them in at least 2 years, yet they got it right out and even helped me fix my blunder.

Thanks to Peter and crew!

You got a super deal on the Bowman set. I know I used to buy from Heritage all the time. Since they started charging me sales tax though, I haven't really given them a second look. I know it's not their fault, but in my mind, it is really stupid, especially considering how not every state pays the extra tax. I'm sure I am not alone in this.

Congrats on your purchase and on your superlative customer service experience!!!

Aren't you a dealer? You buy and sell a ton of cards, or is that just a hobby? Being a real dealer with a tax license should make it so you are not paying sales tax on your purchases to resell.

Kevin, that is awesome they did such a great job at customer service for you.

It's a hobby....I do it for fun - to help me pay for stuff I want to keep. I have no tax number. But like everything else, the government had to get involved and suck the fun right out of it.

I think most of us have done the buy/sell thing as a hobby. Personally I see it as a loophole we have been able to exploit that is now closing up. As a long time business owner I would imagine the "real" dealers with tax IDs are happy about it. It makes for a more level playing field for them.

. Thanks Bobby. I always assume that I am the dead money that puts one extra bid in past an items value. The Scooter, Yogi, and Spahn are graded but the Musial is raw so I need to get that one in hand. It says there are 10-15% trimmed which would 5-8 so hopefully I got enough value that I can upgrade and no be over my skis in it.
