It would also be more accurate to note that this game was played in the fall of 1968 by the class of 1969 that graduated the following Spring. One of my friends at the game met a lad from Harvard in the rest room. After finishing their business the lad from Harvard went to sink and washed his hands. The Yalie headed for the door. The lad from Harvard commented "at Harvard we are taught to wash our hands after using the rest room." To wit the Yalie responded "at Yale we are taught not to pee on our hands."

Thankfully, I don't even have to have a well thought out rebuttal to your post since it's logic is somewhat flawed, but mostly because your reputation precedes you. Carry on.

Arguing about the merits of hitting for a cycle is one thing, being accused of unfair dealings in buying cards is another...and yes i know you would of bought the card, but trying to alter the deal over 10-20 bucks can go against a reputation. I guess my logic is flawed and you are great at sniping and never make mistakes, sorry for my misunderstanding.... Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 04-25-2016 at 06:39 PM. |

I do agree its not a big deal, but my comment wasnt a big deal and he chose to bring up 'reputation', I not sure that was the right route for him to go with my comment....'he is good at math but bad at sniping' not sure how that was worth his wierd post.

Now I am just trying to defend myself, not the transaction. I think that most people would give me the benefit of the doubt. I explained myself well, I haven't ever done this before and I am not a nuisance at all on these boards. Pretty sure Robert is the first person that I've ever upset on here. And our transaction should have stayed private. As I thought me asking of a favor was harmless as the end result would have been either a) Bobby tells me to 'pound sand' and I pay for the item or b) Bobby does me "a solid" and helps me out. Was going to be a) until all of this drama. Hopefully this post isn't "weird". Last edited by wilkiebaby11; 04-25-2016 at 07:05 PM. |

Late to the party but count me among those who speak on Steve's behalf. He has been a tremendous help to me in my quest as we have done several deals. He even went so far as to tip me off when a card on my want list was at a fair BIN price - when he could have purchased and put a premium on it and sold it to me. I had a post a couple of years ago because I did almost the identical thing. I put a bid in early and added an extra 0. I asked how to do a bid retraction. What followed was an assault on character. I was more than happy to pay whatever price and "take my medicine" but I feared getting shilled to ridiculous amounts. If we could just trust the process, things would work out and we would be fine - but with all of the ugly stuff in the hobby people tend to be on edge and assume the worst in folks.
I think Bobby is a great guy as well. He has sold me great material and we were going to partner on an REA lot last year if we got our price. Having dealt with both parties, I believe that positive intent was there. Sometimes fingers get fat. I am not sure why Bobby is exiting the hobby for a while, but perhaps every dollar sold really matters and it is an emotional time. Maybe everything is cool and he just wants to liquidate - I obviously don't know and don't want to presume - but I guess point being that the payment timing and amount of the sale could carry extra significance. All I know is that I come to this board to learn from the best, to chat with folks who love the same stuff that I do - because I normally get blank stares when I talk about it, and I occasionally get good deals. This high tension stuff is what I deal with in the normal crazy work day. Net54 is my escape. All in all, a bummer situation between two fantastic, honorable guys that has been remedied. I will now go look lovingly at my SGC80 '61 Marichal that is a tad OC and wish that it was a centered PSA6 because they now go for over 100 bucks!!

An unfortunate situation indeed. VCP is both a blessing and a curse. It is the best thing going though, compared to SMR and Beckett, for the baseball card market. Just not a be all that ends all. |

Of course, there is always the option of actually making a bid during the auction instead of sniping. If he had done that, he would have had plenty of time to realize he made a mistake and fixed his incorrect bid

There is ZERO reason to bid on a card in the course of an ebay auction.

If I were bidding on an item that rarely came around and I couldn't be available to place a late bid, I might consider placing an earlier bid. But agree with you for the most part in that bidding early is unnecessary most of the time.

If eBay disabled the ability to snipe bids (if they even can is another story), then everyone would be on an even playing field. But I strongly feel that those that snipe (and do it correctly, doh!) are at an advantage. If you can't beat, join them. |

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me - 99.99% of the time I don't think it's an issue. And I never had one with Gavelsnipe, either, which is why I continue to go that route. But I do know that Gavelsnipe has had outages and members here have on occasion had a problem.
To me, I'm willing to take the chance that I won't have a problem and most of the stuff I'm pursuing isn't generally all that rare. But if I were watching a very tough item and knew I couldn't be around to place a late bid, I might be inclined to bid early.

I cannot begin to tell you the number of times I've gotten the 15-minute heads up from eBay's app when an item I'm watching is ending soon and forgotten about it and missed out, anyway. It got to a point where it was happening so frequently that I had to go the snipe route. If eBay ended it somehow and I were forced to bid earlier, I'd have no problems with that. But until then, it's a lifesaver for me.
