Definitely. This is a big factor to me. I agree with others that on N54 I don't do business with sellers whose other posts aggravate me.

In terms of ebay, etc. I have a similar approach. One example: I had bought some cards over the years from a prominent ebay dealer. In 2011 I saw his tables at the National. I went over and bought a couple pre-war graded cards from him...maybe a bit overpriced, but cards I needed for things I was working on. I went back later in the day and asked him to pull about 10 more pre-war graded cards. We started to discuss price and I told him the VCP I had looked up. After about a minute he dramatically scooped up all the cards that were in front of me, turned his back on me and walked away...in the middle of the conversation. Just left me standing there. I can assure you that I was not "lowballing" him at all...not my style. Another collector/shopper beside me just looked at me uncomfortably and shrugged his shoulders, not knowing what to make of it. In the last 4 years I have refused to spend one penny with this guy - and I have stuck to that. I don't care what cards he has...not one penny from me ever again. As a pissed-off customer I can only vote with my wallet - and I do.

Cheers,
Blair
