Winners of the First Auction

[irv]

I hate to sound like a pessimist, but my guy tells me we will never here from Candiman auctions ever again.

Some of the cards that didn't sell may pop somewhere else, but, imo, they will be blended in with other cards from another seller disguising them.

Your Guy. What you can’t think for yourself and need someone to tell you what “he” thinks? What kind of crap is that? I think people are stupid if the DID NOT bid. With the trail of the post and the guarantees by the seller AND the fact that this can be paid with credit card you are a moron if you think otherwise.

Pretty sure he meant "my gut." I'd have to say I agree with Irv's assessment. Best of luck to those who took a gamble. But the smart money was on sitting out of this one.

If that is what Irv meant then I apologize to him. I will be more than happy to share results but the auctioneer left plenty of recourse along with the thread if there if difficulty getting a refund if things are not authentic are greatly misgraded.

[pokerplyr80]

Please do. My fear was they would not be around long enough to honor their pledge to issue refunds for altered cards, among others already discussed in the other thread.

By the way I saw no mention of any pledge to refund cards that were greatly misgraded. My apologies if I managed to miss that post.

They will not refund for cards that turn out to not be in the condition they state they "appear" to be in. I made this point several times in the original thread and Daniel had the same evasive explanation the 3 times I brought it up to him. This is most likely where buyers are gonna get crushed.

Cannot imagine wanting a card or a deal so much that I would risk doing business with people like this.

Thanks, Jesse, that is what I meant. I also see I spelt "Hear" wrong as well.

Guess I had better start proofreading a little more.

Another post may be required if you try to verify “spelt”.

Irv--I was disappointed to discover that I am apparently in the "stupid" group with the likes of you

What if I didn't bid because I didn't want to put any of my money into the pockets of grifters like the Battles family?

[commishbob]

I placed a bid on one card...minimum bid on the raw T206 Chief Bender. The original thread hadn't really gotten rolling at that point. I was outbid the next day and didn't attempt to bid on it again for two reasons. First of all I had a price in my head I was willing to pay for that card in that condition. Factoring in commission and shipping the bid that topped mine pushed past my price point. Secondly...as the the thread plowed ahead I began to have second thoughts about the auction. Like many others I'll be watching to see how this plays out. If people are generally satisfied with what they receive I wouldn't rule out bidding in future auctions.

I think it remains to be seen if any of the high bidders are ‘winners’
