I just sent him a PM to get his take. If he answers we will discuss. If he doesn't answer he won't be here any longer. He has been on the board a long time and I don't like to boot anyone without some explanation, especially when they have been here 9 yrs ....
Someone got booted yesterday for not answering a PM and then coming back to the board like there was no question ever asked (of a mod).....No one has to ever answer a moderator on this board. They just won't be here any longer. Their choice. We'll keep it as safe as possible but it's always caveat emptor....we'll leave the lights on for ya'
... and see what Ed says.

Last Friday, I agreed to purchase a 1955 Clemente PSA 1 From Benderbroeth, aka Edward Broeth.
I paid immediately, and he immediately confirmed receipt, then let me know the card would ship the next day - Saturday.
Saturday came and went without any notice - not a huge deal. But then Sunday passed, and Monday rolled around.
Late Monday, I sent another message to Edward, asking for tracking. I was ignored.
I sent another similar message Tuesday night, to which he replied the following:
Hey, sorry i also collect autographs and i was super busy getting autographs, i will get you shipping info tomorrow, card has not been able to be sent out because i was getting some great autographs. Tony Bennett and James Taylor and Todd Rundgren. sorry for the delay.
I replied expressing my displeasure at the fact that the card had not yet shipped, and the fact that I shouldn't have had to reach out repeatedly to get this information.
Then Wednesday came and went without any shipping update.
So this morning I messaged Edward with a simple message: tracking or return.
Again, no reply.
Approximately one hour ago, I sent him an email, letting him know he had one more hour to remedy the situation. Either get me tracking or a refund, or I was going to initiate a claim with PayPal, and inform the boards that he was a scammer.
Edward has decided to ignore my offers at correcting the situation, so here we are.
In my eyes, Edward is a scammer, a thief, and a liar.
I have initiated a claim with PayPal, and I will never be doing business with him again.
I would suggest steering clear of this one.
