Sorry that you have to go through all this...

Sorry you had to deal with that Kyle, you are a standup guy, good luck!

Well the person who I assume is the same person who reached out to me contacted me in a very upfront manner.

He made it clear they were your cards and you appreciated him pointing your cards to potential buyers for him as you were new. What he got out of this exercise was hopefully a shot at a few items you were looking to sell. Seemed fair and he was very upfront on the whole deal.

I didn’t even put an offer in. I simply asked if you had picked a price. He said you hadn’t and your concern was leaving money on the table as you were all over the place in terms of pricing. He also said you were looking to him and others to help price out these items. Which I believe as you have basically been fishing for a price since being on here with the card/cards.

He then came back within the next day and simply said the deal he worked out with you was not moving forward and he was out. If I did have any interest (which I didn’t) I should contact you directly. He was very respectful of you and the situation just basically bowed out.

He did share that a few of the cards you enlisted him to shop had been sold off behind scenes. That gave him pause for concern which I understood. I would hate to go sell/broker a deal to someone I knew then to come back and have the item gone and egg on my face.

I even after this situation decided I would be nice and reach out to you, as you may be having a hard time pricing the items. I gave you the same advice I give most all folks on here.

Get them graded, pick a reputable auction house and let the market decide. Ignore all the PM’s, website links, self-proclaimed card experts, multipliers, SMR’s etc. and let the market decide for you.

In fact you said in your reply to me that quite a few guys gave you the same advice. Its good advice roll with it grade them, list them with an auction and move on. Deals go sour sometimes nature of the beast wish you the best with your sales.

Cheers,

John

Oh but your gonna smear my name. Lmfao. Funny how fast you were on here to church up your reputation after sending me that email yesterday.

Wow...lot of dirty laundry for seemingly no actual occurrence...

If it were me advising you both, I'd say put the swords away, since nothing actually happened. Blieve it or not, litigation isn't exactly the first step two humans should default to in a disagreement over basically nothing.

[calvindog]

Just curious: what are the damages?

PS -- no lawyer is that big of an asshole to take a case like this. I think.

Damning the profession with faint praise?

Apparently his brother and cousin are ready to pursue the matter.

I know one and this is exactly his area of specialization, and he's not that far from Dallas. He files eight million dollar lawsuits for his clients and works strictly on hourly rates (as opposed to selfishly working on a contingency basis and grabbing a big cut of the pie). With the exception of two malpractice suits and an inevitable third one coming, he seems to be pretty good - so I'm told.

1. Andrew never had any deal with me worked out ... He may have had some wild scheme figured out in his mind on something that would have benefited him but there was never any agreement on price with him on any of my cards..there was never any agreement to hold the cards in limbo while he collected buyers. There was never any agreement for him to act as my representative. If he stated that he had a deal or price negotiated with me or an arrangement with me to hold the cards .. or that he was my representative.. or that I had enlisted him to shop my cards.. what you heard was a lie.
I had no deal worked out with Andrew at all. To me he was simply another buyer interested in my cards. while I continued as I always have.. 1st come 1st served. He did mention that he may have a buyer or buyers.. as far as I was concerned that was fine ... If he had some kind of finders fee arrangement worked out with others this did not bother me at all.

2. There was never any behind the scenes dealing of any sort.. I played my 1st come 1st served cards right side up front with Andrew... hard to deal behind the scenes when your'e dealing face up. I took calls and offers from other potential buyers on my 9 Red Hindus while Andrew drug his feet.. as a result several of the cards he was interested in were sold off. I took calls all day Friday and all day Saturday.. Andrew did not contact me until late Saturday afternoon with an offer... and even then came in with an offer at 50 cents on the dollar.. a price I could have gotten at the local Sports Memoribilia shop.

I guess when you have sour grapes about not being involved with a 9 Red Hindus sale because you've acted to slowly and then come in with a lowball offer you're entitled to make up lies... I guess you're also entitled to threaten to spread lies about the seller...

If Andrew misrepresented himself to the people he was trying to assemble in a manner that benefitted him and lied to them because he wanted to look like he had some kind of influence with me or deal worked out with me because he wanted some of my cards so badly..thats on his head.. not mine.

Statements Andrew never made:
1. Do we have an agreement?
2. Will you hold the cards?
3. Would you like for me to shop your cards for you?
4. Would you provide blah blah blah.. if I sell your cards for you?
There was never any arrangement, agreement, or straight forward bartering.

For the more retarded of the variety... talking with someone does not make them beholding to you.. it does not obligate them to sign over 50% of their equity in a property to you... it does not obligate them to agree to any wild idea you might have... Someone who just met you 3 days earlier usually doesnt owe you anything... but when you slander someone by stating they broke an agreement with you that you never had..then exclaim you'll be maliciously spreading that lie about them in a manner meant to bring harm.. they do owe you this.. their contempt... and likely a whole lot more.

I was actually imagining my computer voicing the words as I read them on screen throughout this thread. Then I imagined gouging my eyes out and plugging my ears with them. I hope this situation works out. I'm not even sure what the situation is or how it can be worked out. Please don't lock this thread until that one guy posts his train wreck clip in it. Thank You.

[felada]

I am confused. Did he slander you or 'liable' you?

[Matthew H]

Kyle, just so I'm clear, if I want some of your cards I should just talk to Andrew?

[7nohitter]

Can this thread just go away?
I'm hearing the Night Court theme song in my head and imagining what John Laroquette's character would be doing...

Well played sir. Well played.

Kyle you need to stop!!!!!! No one wants to hear this BS. If I wanted to sue you (which I don't) what do you think I could get for slander and defamation of character. You threaten to sue me for talking to my friends about what happened, which was a private matter till now, then come here to the board like a pussy and run your mouth to try and save face when all your doing is ruining it. You started this so you can end it at any time. Like I have said before I wish you well on your endeavors and the sale of your cards.

Just a little video for you:
