Adrian's bipolar is kicking in.

frankbmd 09-02-2013 01:37 PM

I hope Ebay will comply with the 15 posts/card rule.

JollyRoger 09-02-2013 02:57 PM

Who in their right mind would even consider dealing with this guy after looking at this ebay listing?

thehoodedcoder 09-02-2013 03:59 PM

well the price is now down to 4500 bucks and has the actual card listed.

its still over priced. what would you value this card at?

kevin

kcohen 09-02-2013 04:12 PM

You peoples' Adrian compulsion borders on obsession, if not perversion. Just sayin'

Paul S 09-02-2013 04:13 PM

Ended. What do you think the error in the listing was? "FeDex"?:)

So much for waiting for the banks to open tomorrow to get a picture of the card! LOL

Cardboard Junkie 09-02-2013 04:22 PM

I would never consider purchasing this card. Paper loss is one of a few things I avoid, (trimming or holes are others). If it did not have paper loss and I really wanted or needed the card for my collection, I might go a grand for it. JMO Dave.

thehoodedcoder 09-02-2013 04:35 PM

desire to purchase is totally different than placing a value on an item.

given the paper loss, and past sales prices, what would you say the value of the item is?

kevin

Cardboard Junkie 09-02-2013 04:39 PM

I get it now.......in light of what you said....I think Zone91 way overpaid and the retail value of the card would be about 500. Dave.

ullmandds 09-02-2013 04:50 PM

Adrian overpaid for every card he ever purchased. He is an idiot...and I would never ever deal with him in any way shape or form!

egbeachley 09-02-2013 05:04 PM

When he purchased the card he was so over zealous that he didn't realize it was NOT a variation or even an error, but the result of a plate chip or whatever. When he found out he didn't like the card so much. That didn't stop him, however, from saying in his listing that it is a variation where the printers out in an extra apostrophe.

Sean1125 09-02-2013 05:07 PM

Down to 4500

frankbmd 09-02-2013 05:23 PM

Personally I have added each listing for the card to My Watch List to keep his spirits up.:D

Why don't y'all do the same. It's free.;)

arc2q 09-02-2013 05:42 PM

The best is that the description says an SGC 10 sold this year for $3150 and that there are only 4 known - so clearly the one he is selling is this very card and he paid $3150 for it. The description actually advertises that you are getting ripped off over $1000 if you pay the BIN.

PolarBear 09-02-2013 06:04 PM

This thread is odd and confusing, although I admit, I don't understand the back story.

deucetwins 09-02-2013 06:18 PM

+2 on adding it to the watch list. Wonder who made the 2 offers?

My understanding is that he was a coin collector who wanted to sell one of his coins and buy a 1952 Mantle. He was only here about 6 weeks, but posted over 1000 times, mostly about buying a 52 mantle.

I wish Adrian well and gets better soon!

I gave him advice in his final days here on how he can overcome his busy mind but he did not listen. Nobody can help Adrian; only Adrian can help himself.

With lots of rest, staying off of the internet, good nutrition, a good exercise plan and so forth; I believe that he can get better but he must commit himself to take care of his mind and body.

I believe he needs cards in his life because he probably is very lonely.

I hope he gets better!

It's back up, and selling for $3275.00.

At this rate you can pick it up for $500 on Wednesday. :D

I'm still amused that he spent $12,950 on a PSA 4 '52 Topps Mantle, yet can't spend $200 to get a decent phone or a digital camera to take photos of the cards he's trying to sell on Ebay.

My enjoyment level here has skyrocketed since Adrian exited stage left.

As annoying as he was, I felt sorry for the guy and rooted for him to cash in on his coin sale. He just seemed to be an overzealous collector at first, which a lot of us can be at times. But then he went bonkers and started cursing out everyone in sight.

Sadly, that was somewhat entertaining.

So, did the guy really sell a 200k coin and buy a 52 Mantle?

I had a hard time separating fact from fiction in those threads.

Think that was a lot of Adrian's problem also.

christopher.herman 09-03-2013 07:27 PM

Just lowered to a $2500.00 BIN right before he took it down again.

thehoodedcoder 09-03-2013 07:49 PM

And its gone again. Sold to the highest bidder.

PolarBear 09-03-2013 08:50 PM

It sold for something between $1200 and $1500. If you look at his "completed" auctions and sort by price, this one falls between a $1200 BIN and a $1500 BIN.

If he paid $3175 as someone mentioned earlier in the thread, he took a pretty good beating.

bender07 09-03-2013 09:15 PM

Sold for $1400. Ouch

Paul S 09-03-2013 09:20 PM

Yeah, well rent is usually due at this time of the month :(

nsaddict 09-03-2013 09:28 PM

He actually paid about 200 more because Adrian lives in Canada with the currency exchange. And if it sold for 1400 that's nearly a 2K loss?
