As a collector, this sucks

[Woundedduck]

I get that for many, it's a business. Purchasing something you know you can resell for more is a way to make money and people can do what they want. I was bidding on the first auction and it just sucks to see it pop up immediately after it sells for 4x more by a flipper.

At least pwcc isn't getting the higher price...or are they????

That seller is an idiot who overprices every card he has. It will still be there in two years.

He's a CONFIRMED JACKMEHOFF

Good times

[Woundedduck]

I made an offer of $32.50 which is what he paid + shipping. I'm sure it will be declined or ridiculously countered.

I would highly advise to just forget about the card and never for any reason do business or contact that seller.

Seriously they are complete psychopaths. They have been a member here with at least 2 different accounts that both have been banned.

They will send you horrible messages and attack you in every way possible for little to no reason. They are famous for screwing with people through eBay. I have had them buy stuff from me and then the day before they can no longer return it file a claim. It didn't affect me because I sell very little and have the extra $ to cover returns. Now if they did that to some people it would cause some serious hardships for the innocent people those scum harass.

[RedsFan1941]

agree with all of the comments on the seller. stay far away. as a public service, he also is on eBay as thebaseballmachine. you will want to block that name too.

[x2drich2000]

I know what you mean, just forget about it. He has 1 card I need that he outbid me on probably 2 or 3 years ago. Unfortunately for me, this is the only copy that has come up for sale in probably the last 5-10 years. I thought I was a bit crazy bidding over $1k for the card. He now has it listed for between $2k-3k at different times. Obviously, I'm still waiting for another copy to show up. He's also sent me offers to buy stuff which I've always declined. I would have taken the offer from someone else but I've chosen not to deal with him.

[Leon]

Feel the same way. I see stuff he has which I am interested in and just will not buy from him or even communicate with him. I truly think he is a psycho.

ps....I should add, I actually don't have a big problem with him asking whatever he wants to for the card. Maybe he thought it was worth 4x what he paid. But he is not someone I would ever want to deal with. If he was a cool seller I would make an offer if I still wanted it and it was way overpriced. I have bought quite a few things where I made +/-50% offers and they were accepted.

This seller is horrible in every way. Consider that particular card destroyed; you will never get it and you don’t want to deal with that guy. Lesson here is if you really want something, bid big to win it and if you overpay, so be it. It’s better to overpay and have the card than save a few bucks and be taunted by it listed on eBay for the next 3 years.

Finally a thread we all agree on. Have a great day everyone!

This is why you won't get the card. Sending him an offer less than what he paid
after ebay fees is just poking the bear. If you really want it just offer him 50 or
60 bucks and be done with it.

[x2drich2000]

Greg, just curious, do you set up with him at the white plains show?

[C-mack]

I just had an exchange with him on a t212 ten million unfortunately. Offer him 70 over what it just sold for month ago and he counter with a rude message and asking for double...super lame

[Goudey77]

Funny. Toppsaholic just sent me an offer with an added message posing as a little girl named lili asking pretty please to accept the offer.

He might actually continue to email you telling you how stupid you are and basically attacking you. He's harassed people I know for months because they tried to explain to him why his prices were ridiculous. The guy is nuts.

Yes, he helps me with the security camera set up also. He comes off
wacky over the internet/ebay, but is totally different in person. I don't
have an answer for why this is but I suggest everybody who is curious
to actually meet him in person at a show and prove me wrong.

Also if anybody ever wants to meet me: I am Greg. I wear a Purple shirt
at every show

Is he the one that pretended to be a woman and posted about the theft of your 51B Mantle? I seem to recall that but am not 100 percent on the details.

[fusorcruiser]

Although I don't post much, I really like Net 54 and have bought some good stuff at fair prices through BST from very nice people on this board. Thanks Leon and all you great people.

[Woundedduck]

Well, this blew up considerably more than I expected. I'll be the first to admit, I made a knee jerk post when a card I'd bid on was almost immediately reposted for sale considerably higher than it had just sold for. As I said in my first post, I get it's a business and if someone sees potential profit, it's 100% their right to buy and sell anything for whatever price they want. My issue was certainly not with selling that card for whatever price he wants or what he can get, especially since to some of you bigger collectors or dealers that's a very small amount. However, I'm sure we've all been in the position where you lose out on something and regret not having been able to acquire a card for the price it sold, when it'll now take longer to try to get a similar deal or you'll have to spend more. I only noticed it because I have a search saved for that set as I'm trying to add a low quality affordable HoF from the set.

That all being said, I was surprised to get a phone call from Toppsaholic today after all this blew up. Apparently I'd purchased another card from him a month ago through Ebay and he was able to track down the info. It was good to get his PoV on it all. As I told him on the phone, I thought it was a little strange for him to contact me directly that way, but I think we came to a good understanding and may still work out a deal for that card.

In the end, as a guy who is a very small buyer in this hobby, I'm not trying to stir stuff up.

So apparently he reads this board, even if he no longer posts here.

Maybe he is now a member in hiding on his 4th or 5th ID or maybe his good friend Greg told him how popular he is on here.

[RedsFan1941]

for as much time as this loser spends on eBay messaging people it would be no surprise that he reads this board all the time. I would put the over/under on his fake IDs at 2.5.

Yup he messaged me about the t212 I offered on asking what was up with it...just told him I had no beef but still not paying that high of a price

[jhs5120]

Lol! I consigned that card to PWCC. I wish I knew what a gold mine I was sitting on.

I'm sure. You are usually a seasoned collector. It is not like you to miss a score that huge.

I guess we can't be experts in everything.

Being it Net54, is it now my duty to lay the blame on PWCC for also missing this?
