Adrian is selling his T206 MURR'Y
 

I see Adrian has lost interest in his T206 MURR'Y:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161097948779...779%26_rdc%3D1


Does anyone remember what he paid for it?

I don't know that he ever said what, exactly, he paid but he referenced another example that went off at $4,763.45. He said he paid WAY less than that.:). Nice profit if he can get a fish on the line.

Check out his description and all the instructions and requirements he puts on making payment and viewing the actual the card. Wants to sell a card for 12.5k yet can't post a picture of the card.

What a rube! So much for adrian keeping his cards forever?!

Bank is closed, can't take a picture. Why not wait until Tuesday to list the card? Or Monday, is Labor Day a holiday in Canada? Or break into the bank today!

To my knowledge Adrian would never post his own images of his own cards on the forum. He had some sort of strange phobia about it.

his camera was broke as he said...

Sean

If you can tell me where he bought the Murr'y, I can tell you what he paid for it.

A quick review of his recent bidding shows several major cards purchased that do not appear in his feedback, and two others that have sarcastic positives and have been relisted. His 100 percent feedback is certainly misleading. I would seriously recommend that anyone selling significant cards on ebay consider adding him (1952toppsmantle) to their blocked bidder list.

But pete, how is that possible...when good old adrian completes 99.6% of all his transactions?

Proof positive ebay's metrics have become a dismal failure!

I was just thinking a bit could this entire situation with Adrian be some elaborate ruse. Could he not in fact own any of the cards he purported purchased. He comes on net54 causes a huge scene with the intent to make a large portion of the collecting community believe that he owns the cards. He then waits a modest amount of time and offers the cards. He doesn't post the cards he is going to sell only points the potential buyers to other sites where they can be viewed. He also has specific instructions about payment that are not the norm. Could he be trying to sell cards that he made high profile that he doesn't own. Boy that would be some preplanned swindle.

Could it be possible?

Just a thought.

Since a seller who gets stiffed can't leave negative feedback, yeah, it can be just a bit misleading. :D

Unless sellers are allowing him out of transactions, he should be getting hit with unpaid item strikes. Used to be 3 and you were suspended. I am sure he has far more than 3. I guess the customer can never be wrong.

He didn't seem smart enough to pull that off. Unless that was part of the ruse.
He came off too nutty and manic for it to be an act in my opinion. Just another whack job who unfortunately found this site.

This guy is a joke...

"***I will ONLY ship this card out once the funds have cleared in my account***"

Pretty much says I want to pull the money out of paypal before I even ship... This is direct advertising that you cannot return the card and are screwed if anything is wrong with the transaction.

He does not even picture his own card... What a sheister...

He is charging $12,500 for the card is still charging $125 shipping... What a joke, I'd love to see him in person to call him an idiot and slap him upside the head. This guy is an artist.

He recently purchased 2 Ruth strip cards and the seller accepted best offers on both. Now both relisted as he "changed his mind again" what a loser. But he did pay for a 2010 Upper Deck set and a pair of handcuffs??

He paid $3175.00 for it.

But the zone said, "I'll never sell the Murr'y card. Never ever ever never!!!" Adrians niece was supposed to inherit it from him eventually.:(Dave.

Over 12K and I don't think he even mentions the "paper loss" on the back!!

This kid is a real scumbag. Doesn't even try to hide it.

Makes me long for the good ol’ days in the hobby where guys were just trimming up cards, getting cards into holders that should never have graded, consignors shilling their auctions and sellers who knowingly look the other way.

.....or as I like to call it, yesterday.

Well, the $125 for shipping certainly seems more than fair. :rolleyes:

On the list of hobby scumbags he doesn't even make the top 100 now, does he?

True

Certainly top 5 of most annoying, however.

Well, he is now over the hills and far away from this forum.

the price has been trimmed to a mere 6k and change.

for someone that had tons of cash it clearly seems like he is in a huge hurry to part with a card he said he would never sell.

i highly suspect that the card is not in a bank any where. not really sure what to make of it all.

i suspect that the price of the card is going to come down in the next day or so.

Guess he changed his mind again...
 

"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."

Yes, it is a holiday in Canada.

I wonder if he allows local pickups? :D

He lives in Gatineau, Quebec and I live in Ottawa, Ontario. That would be like a Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario scenario. He's probably about a 30 minute or so drive from my place.

But maybe Adrian wasn't selling his card. Remember when he listed his Mantles? He did it just to get pictures of them. He wasn't really selling them.

How does one list something just to get pictures of them?

Can't you just google something if you want a picture of it?

Kevin

It is back up...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-1911-T2...item25823c1b2d

Beats the heck out of me, Kevin. I think his explanation was that he used the auctions to store the pictures. Apparently he'd never heard of Imageshack, or any of the other ten million sites that do that for free.

I finally figured it out!! You are right, it was all a ruse. Adrian is Keyser Soze from Unusual Suspects!! "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.....and then...poof...he's gone."

One of my favorite movies "The Usual Suspects".

"How do you shoot the Devil himself in the back? What if you miss?"

50% off:D, but still no break on the shipping charge:eek:. I think I'll wait.;)

After reading all of the posts in this thread, I get the feeling that everyone is kind of wax nostalgic for the Summer of Adrian. Leon, could you let him have user rights again just so he can respond to this thread? Everyone on here needs to have that last "summer fling". Messy divorces/breakups, name calling, threats, outlandish accusations, schemes, scams, tall tales and everyone's blood pressure spiking. Who needs TV when you can come on here and watch Adrian bring about chaos and mayhem?

And for $125 for shipping, I would want the card hand delivered by a Hooters waitress.

For $125 I'd prefer cleavage delivery by a Hooters waitress.:D

+2

Maybe we should start a poll asking how many of us miss Adrian. :D

He's still using that line about how he can't post a picture of the actual card because today is a holiday. And he couldn't possibly wait until tomorrow to sell. :rolleyes:

I know he said he only pays for 98% of the cards he wins auctions on, BUT whats the % of the cards he ships out that he sells???

Would rather see a return from Peter C or Marshall B.arkman.

Comparatively, Adrian's noize wasn't really all that interesting. :)

Maybe a few...

post #8

Ha Ha ha! Took me a second to get it.......VERY funny! Dave.:D

I think it's gone again!

he bought if from you...

kevin

He also listed his PSA4 52 Mantle, stating it should be a 5 or 6. And the auction will run for 3 days and if no buyers he'll keep it. He listed it and pulled it within 19 minutes. I say give him a 3 day pass to return here to answer questions on the thread :D

The indecisive mind at play again
 

Wait, hold a sec...it's back.

Brian

LOL.

that is the 3rd time.

kevin

Adrian's bipolar is kicking in.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Down to 4500

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.;)

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.

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

Done...:)...

+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.

His mom and sister...:)...

$125.00 for shipping ?

Thanks, but that just adds another layer of confusion. :confused:

Okay, that accounts for one offer.:D

LOL...Can't top that one...:)....

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!

Take a week or two to catch up :)
