Emails from Rick Probstein
I may have bought 1 or 2 cards from Rick Probstein on eBay in the past but nothing in several years. About a week ago, I started receiving emails from him about his auctions. Prior to these, I had never received any from him so it seems like something new he is sending out. Is anyone else receiving these emails?

I am.
Over the past 20+ years I have won 7 of his ebay auctions (the most recent one in August of last year), so it's not like I'm his #1 customer. I've never had any issues with him and I always get my orders promptly, but then I'm only 20 miles away. |

I get invites from ebay everytime Rick goes live now.
Rick seems to be husting big time to get those shiny cracked ice refractors sold. |

So, Fred, what would you consider "artic" [sic] conditions? Temperatures below 65 degrees? GIRLY MAN! :D |

I never signed up for any email subscription from Probstein, and I can only assume he was able to somehow glean my email address from eBay, or it was shared or sold to him by another hobby entity I have done business with. At this rate I am on track to receive at least 730 obnoxious emails from Rick Probstein this year. Yay me! |
It takes less effort to mark those emails as spam and/or send an unsubscribe request than it does to continue to post about this here. Spam emails are annoying, but should be easily solved.

I don't believe I have ever bought from Rick. So luckily I don't get the emails.:) |

Kevin, yes, I'm a girly dude when it comes to cold weather. I guess the nice part about playing in the snow is that the beer stays cold without those can wraps. |

I get multiple spam emails everyday that get past my spam filter. I take the time to "mark as spam" on every one of them, and it does absolutely nothing from what I can see...I still get the same emails from the same senders afterwards. Also, security experts advise never to click on the unsubscribe link in a spam email, as it only serves to confirm your email address to the spammers and scammers. (Likely not such a big concern in this case, as it appears these emails are indeed coming from Probstein, but who knows.) |
It general griping wasn't permitted this board will be a very slow place. Like most Internet anything.

He does sell great-cheap Christmas presents for my 11 year old nephew. Got a really nice Aaron Judge Jersey piece in a card for like 10 bucks. Real- swapped out or not -nephew loves it

I am getting the emails. Sometimes I spend some time looking at them; sometimes I don't take much time.
I have bought from and consigned with Rick quite a bit, but not in a while. Never had any significant problems. His operation is not as good as others in terms of notifying consignors when a consignment is received, when the items will be posted, but maybe that has changed. |

I got notice that my package was received today. This is my first time working with him so giving it a try with mostly new stuff.

He blocked me from bidding years ago and never would give a reason...very irritating!
As I've stated many times...just not lately: Probstein is DEAD to me. I'm happy not being on his email list... |
