Dave & Adam's Card World ...

Thanks for the input everyone!

There are lots of retailers that concurrently list inventory on ebay as well as their own website or store front. There's always the chance that you can have buyers for a single item from multiple entry points. The seller has to choose which one he deals with first. Most of the time I would suspect that the seller would use the "first one wins" option. In this case, however, its a sticky wicket because it's a hassle to undo an ebay transaction. Had the seller been able to mark the item as sold on ebay before the BIN, it wouldn't have been an issue.

In a perfect world, the inventories would be tied together. I don't think that this is generally the case however.

Side note, this seller had several Cycles and Sovereigns listed without back scans or an indication of what series back they were. I asked a question to the seller in each instance within minutes of the item being listed and just now got responses that the items were sold. Win some/lose some.

Yea, all of them are 350s, because I believe none of the cards listed were ever even printed in the 460s. That goes for the Cycles, I didn't check for the Sovereign, but I believe it applies to them as well.

[npa589]

You're definitely right Chris.

I really wanted that Steamer Sovereign and Bob Hall. Maybe that's why I bought them before the other people...! Hahaha...

A simple response to the negative of "had already sold on our store site when customer bought on eBay. Didn't take it off eBay in time. refund sent immediately with a dollar extra."

People would understand that.

Interesting to read this thread. I had a transaction with this company about a year ago with no problems. (not a t206 transaction though)

Similar situation that ended up in a refund for a PSA 5 $75 that I really needed for my set. 2 months and haven't seen another : (

Part of the whole Internet buying vs store dealer/show. Oh well.

Typical DACW MO if you ask me. I had just the opposite situation happen. I bought a 1961 Topps Ernie Banks AS high number on eBay (BIN), paid right away and then a couple of days later they refunded my money with a note that said they had sold the card in their on-line store a few days prior. They did offer me $5 off my next pruchase, but I would much rather had the card as I needed it for my set. I should have left them a negative, but I decided against it.

I nabbed a couple of the t206 Cycles. I would have preferred back scans but couldn't risk missing the cards at those prices.

[npa589]

Were you the one that bought the Bob Hall and the Steamer Flanagan?

[JamesGallo]

IMO thats a cop out. The cards were sold before they were sold on ebay and npa589 should get the cards. They have a work force so as soon as something is processed it should be removed from all other places and this wasn't.

You have two options, cancel the whole order and not deal with them, or suck it up take the cards you got and not deal with them.

If your ok with them giving you some discount or what not that is fine too.

The end result either way would be a bad taste in my mouth for a company that I had thought had a good reputation....
