Dean looked through my inventory at the last Fort Washington show. Within a week, I got an email from Dean asking for my best price on a graded 1949 PCL Bowman card and either a Briggs meat or an Esskay card. Before I answered him, I was called by the person that asked Dean about the two cards. I was told that he had new inventory and had emailed several people to this fact. Dean normally tells the customers that he just got back from a show and has not unpacked yet, so he will have to get back with the availity. I sold the cards to the person that contacted Dean, and emailed Dean that the cards were sold. Since then, I have been told by two different people that Zindler has some of my inventory listed for sell in SCD. I agree with Frank, that this is not right, but it does help sell cards. I do have customers that buy cards from me for sell to their clients, but the are working from want lists, so they find out about my cards before they contact their client. I hold the card for a short time and they get back to me, or the buy it outright.
Dean's emails are kind of buddy-buddy, like we should be friends.
