Net54baseball board question and answer....

[chaddurbin]

it was an e93 matty. he bought the card as trimmed but sold it as good. i paid $630 for a vg/vgex card. received it and knew it was trimmed, he played dumb and wouldn't offer a refund because he was getting out of the hobby anyway. i eventually sold the card as trimmed on ebay, coincidentally the original owner that sold the card to bellamy for a $450 loss.

i don't consider that a deal gone awry, but getting ripped off! he was banned, but his brother was still a member so board access was just a click away.

edit: like leon says, buyer's beware. ebay is a mess but i've never lost money to a scammer in 1000s deals.

I suggest you find another place other than our BST then. Sorry you got ripped off.

you said the amount of money lost on the bst was $25, i'm just giving my personal account. i'm sorry i got ripped off also.

edit: to leon's credit he did really try to make bellamy do the right thing and refund my money. he went back and forth with the guy for a couple days and updating me but it was like talking to a wall.

I will now say, for future reference, that there has been very little fraud on our BST and not use a dollar figure. I think compared to Ebay it is a safer place but I do have a bias. I only remember parts of the situation but it was a bad one. I think since, like you said, he was getting out of the hobby, he didn't really care. As far as his brother still being on the board after that I didn't feel that holding his brother accountable for his actions was the proper thing to do. I know I am probably forgetting some details too. I know you have continued to use the BST (I dropped your check in the mail yesterday) and if there is anything I can ever help with just let me know. That goes for every other board member too. We all do our best at keeping the hobby clean but there will be bad people in all areas of our lives no matter what we do. All we can do is try to do the right thing and also weed out the scammers. best regards
