Absurd jerk of an ebay seller who I must call out: "daunb"

[luciobar1980]

This guy has a raw 1971 Topps Thurman Munson which he describes as NM/MT.

I simply asked "Hey there, could you describe any flaws that stick out to you?".

He responded "no. get a ruler and measure it if you think there is a problem".

What the literal F !? I was in no way implying the card was trimmed. How would he even take that in that way!?! Dumbfounded.

I replied "Wow, you're a tool. Good luck selling your card."

I couldn't help myself.

Couldn't you have posted this in the right place?

This is the Pre-War section.

I couldn't help myself.

Have to agree on this one. If it had at least been a pre war card.

Some sellers are offended by condition questions, forget him and move on.

[luciobar1980]

Well, this isn't really about the card, but the seller. Though he doesn't have any pre-war for sale at the moment, sooo..

[Directly]

if your concerned about condition, why not buy a graded card?

[luciobar1980]

Oh geezus.

Hope the rest of your day goes really well Lucio

You should have said you were curious what was wrong with it to not be listed as Gem Mint.

Well, at least he's confident in the grade lol

Sounds like a guilty conscience. You ask a general question and he flies off the handle about something specific that wasn't even mentioned.

For fun I will take the other side.

Maybe it is a seller tired of all the tire kickers asking silly questions that never buy anything. I know when I get certain questions I automatically figure it is going to be a problem buyer and never respond.

The guy says it's NM-MT. He's already telling you that, in his opinion, it's flawless. How do you expect him to elaborate on that?

Checking the listings there are a couple cards posted as trimmed.

My guess if the card might grade better than a 6 the seller would probably submit for grading.

Questions about the items usually didn't bother me.

The ones I had to wait a couple hours to reply to were things like
Description - "shipping is $2 in the US, international at cost"

Question - "How much id shipping to Idaho" (or any other state)

My descriptions were usually brief, what? Too lazy to read an extra sentence?

After waiting a while I could come up with a polite answer.

I just don't respond. Too much effort.

I think part of the problem is that, at least on my device, when viewing the mobile eBay app, the description is somewhat hidden. You have to click a link to see the full description, whereas on the desktop version the description is right there. There a lot of people viewing on their phones and they are most likely too lazy (or unaware) that more information is just a click away. It can be annoying, but I generally stick to the "customer is always right" philosophy and just take a few seconds to answer any questions. A little customer service goes a long way.
