Who said there are no deals on ebay......
|
Wow....just wow.
|
Buyer clearly overpaid by at least a few $$. :eek:
|
How does that happen to a sports card seller?

The only thing that could make this sale funnier would be if the Lenox was in Brown ink. :D

There are deals to be found on ebay if you dig deep enough. I picked up this postcard for next to nothing.

I almost threw up when I saw this one after the fact (someone was HAPPY!)...

great deals. wow
|
what a deal...i wonder if there were any other steals from this same seller?
His/her prices in general are pretty reasonable on most cards. |
An employee must have listed that card and just went with the regular backs on the T206. No way does the seller honor that sale price.
|
How much is this card worth?!? T206 isn't my area.

I know the seller. His name is Howard Lau and he has owned Houston Sports Connection for probably 25+ years. One of his employees probably listed it at that price by mistake. |

Someone probably alerted him and offered more before he shipped.

I've been involved in many great deals on eBay! Unfortunately they were all great deals for the seller. :(

It's uncancelled too. Only one other one known, I believe.

I would have paid quickly too.

Looking at the auction, it appears that the card was pulled. $9.99 was the opening bid. I am sure that they got a flurry of emails asking for a BIN price quickly, and decided to pull it down and let someone other than Ebay auction it off. Sorta like the same that happened to that woman doing the late night talk show circuit with that Cincinnati Red Stockings card.....
|
seller.....
shipped already:eek:
|
I know the seller. He goes to all the Raleigh shows. I will ask him next time I see him.
|
Just out of curiosity, how much would an uncancelled McKinley go for? Is that an easy 6 figure card?

Interesting. Ebay doesn't let you see anymore when a fixed price listing was first put up. I was curious to see how long some of these cards were floating around before somebody snatched them up.
I guess this is a lesson for those of us who weed out all the fixed price listings to only view the auctions. |

Wow, I can't believe these things still happen with all the available information out there.

There are plenty of great deals to be had.... if you have time to dig! Off the top of my head, I got a T216 Mino for ~$12, a T206 Piedmont Factory 42 entirely by accident (crummy scans), and a Queen Victoria signed document for $60 or so.
|
seller made a mistake...
I already talked with him....poor bastard:eek:....real deal card.........

I cant believe it, If he would have just Googled his own auction description.

I am totally blown away that someone who buys and sells card for a living puts cards on Ebay without doing one iota of research to see if a card is rare or valuable. I can understand not knowing everything about every single set that is out there, cause there are an absolute TON of sets out there. His auction title didn't even have the year (1932) or the maker of the card (US Caramel) anywhere in the title, nor the card number. It really had no keywords whatsoever in it for anyone to bid it up. Mind boggling.....
|
Caveat vendor.
|
Which seller?

I have both, but more modern. I usually have one case of vintage stars and a 3200 count box of low grade set fillers. No tobacco (yet).
