Default Where they ain't (definitely no my inbox)

Has anyone else been getting daily emails like this:

"Hey -

How's everything?

Anything in particular you are currently looking for?

Regards,
John"


I don't have any issue with the sellers, but seriously its almost every day I get the same note. Just curious if its just me.

I bought one card from them 4 years ago, so I'm on their mailing list as well.

These guys are a complete joke. I get the emails, too. One time I replied telling them I was looking for a particular card and they said they had it and that's it, no scans, no nothing. I replied and asked for scans and never heard back. Then five weeks later I got a reply saying the card was no longer available and asking if there wad anything else I was looking for, as if if there was I was actually going to buy it from them at that point.

Lucky you, they never have what I'm looking for. So I guess I know how to "Look where they ain't"

It seems as though they may have been hacked. I got another one today and I decided to call the number. When I clicked on the phone# through my phone it took me to a site that had only had East Asian characters on it.

I would avoid the emails and not sure if anyone knows these guys but a call might be appropriate. I can't seem to find an actual working number for them.

I purchased a single 1950 Bowman Football common card for less than $10.00 nearly two years ago.

The seller sends me weekly emails offering me a 1% discount on my next purchase.

He still has my dime in his pocket.

Got an email from him last week inquiring about my great and awesome Brett Butler set. Wanted to know I if was interested in selling since it had been so long since I had updated it. I guess three weeks is close to an eternity.

What IS their email, I actually wanted to inquire about something and on at their site was either old--or did chose not to respond....

Based on past threads here, their business model at least in part is to list, at a markup that makes any of the BIN folks people complain about look reasonable, cards owned by others.

I get the same email. They responded once with a list of cards from sets that I mentioned I collected, but the cards were so overpriced, I decided that I would never deal with them, or even try to negotiate.
