Yes that is the single most important thing when buying cards in this hobby, it does not matter how much it's worth, or what it looks like it ONLY matters whom it comes from. I am ready to pay 500 on a $50 card anyday with the right seller.

I think I'm blocked from his auctions for offering just above market on an AB 205 he had once priced 10x way to high


Also if he's so sure it's a PSA 8-9, then why not regrade it and make way more $$$$$$? I bet it has paper loss anyways. Stupid cards

That T205 is definitely on the upper end of the scale of a 7 imo. However, you would think the guy is advertising for consignments and not sales. I doubt I would be touting the fact I get double the prices for my stuff as I am trying to sell something. Kind of a strange strategy for sure.

Because he probably doesn't own the card

Wasn't commenting on $, just a nice card...(apparently not owned by the current seller...)

[ctownboy]

If they don't own the card and have to go out and buy it from someone else then that means they are probably marking the card up when they are listing it for sale on eBay. If that is the case then it means if you do some digging, you can probably find the real owner of the card and buy it from them and save some money.

Maybe going to the TPG board and saying you are interested in buying this card would get you the real owner.....

I just got an email from the seller just a day or two--wasnt sure why

Hey -

How's your collection going? Are you still actively upgrading it?

Also, is there anything you are no longer collecting and looking to sell?

This guy is famous for selling cards he does not even own or have in his hands.

yup. At least when he'd send me offers for cards I needed I took it as a heads up someone else had it on their site for less, and usually found it.
He does get points for the most appropriate name for his business model, so he's got that going for him.

I just received an email from them. The subject line was "Re: You've received a message from an eBay member". So I reported it to ebay. I haven't done any dealings with them and that just really upsets me that they would pretend I have (by putting RE, it makes it seem like I have contacted them) and use that as an in to try and sell to me.

He emailed me out of the blue pretending he had something he did not have.

Someone should make a website called wheretheyare.com and post links to the source for all the cards he's selling that he doesn't own.
