ebay: baarunner

Leon,

I couldn't agree more. Well said.

Beautiful card. Not so much on the seller. Wouldn't touch it based on that info.

There was a line in Mad Men last night where Don walks in and says, "we got tired of waiting for a cab so I'm here to buy a car." The salesman says "let me see if I can get out of your way".

This guy can't even get out of his own way to sell a nice looking card (if he even has it).

Stay away

You guys totally blew it out of proportion. He has 391 positive feedback and 0 negative feedback.

If his next feedback is negative, that's 1/392 or a 0.002% chance of getting defrauded.

I'd play the odds on this one.

But only 65 of those 391 are as a seller. And with the private listing you cannot tell what he sold, could have been phone cards for $1, not $400baseball cards. Besides, who wants to deal with an azzole?

I must have missed something here. OP wanted extra pics of a card that has good F/B pics already and OP also has located pics of the card from another auction. So the seller wants his feedback stuff set to private. I don't know how to do it or mine would be also for certain reasons. I guess I am not seeing what the issue is with the seller other than he don't want to be bothered with extra crap. I think we(I know I do) get a little over paranoid sometimes.

BTW read his feedback. A lot of signed balls got sold and he is selling more now. Maybe disposing of his collection. I know I want to bid since this whole board is gonna back off now. Might get a great deal or wait 2 wks for paypal to refund me lol.

Presuming he is the owner of the card, and picked it up from the Spring Memory Lane auction here just a few weeks ago: http://www.memorylaneinc.com/site/bi...emid=23644#pic

where he spent $3.5k... and with the card sitting at $316 for 2 days... I don't know about you, but I want as many bidders as possible. In fact, an SGC 60 Brunners Mathewson went for $45k just four years ago.

He could be legit, but his most recent feedback is for buying a few cheap autographed balls (multiples of Mariano Rivera), and some running shoes and accessories.

I don't think it was out of the ordinary for me to ask for a picture of the card next to a piece of paper with his eBay name. Extra hassle... sure, but worth getting another bidder? absolutely. Especially when his scans are identical to the Memory Lane and Huggins and Scott auctions.

He only has about 20 as a seller and most of the useful information about those is hidden. He has made every attempt to be secretive and combative. You go ahead and bid, then. There's not a card in the world I would bid on under these circumstances.

There ya go. Nuf said for me. Thats fishy as can be

[ctownboy]

Would contacting Robert Edwards auction and Memory Lane do any good in this instance? I mean, they would KNOW who bought the items a month ago and could contact them to see if they still own them (if they are not the Baarunner).

If they DO still own them then both the auction house and the owner could contact eBay and let them know what is going on.
