Another IDIOTIC ebayer!

[Matthew H]

I'm not sure why people are defending this clown. You wouldn't walk into the National and offer a dealer $300 on $7500 price tag, why is it ok on eBay? I'm also not buying the "stupid collector" theory, if he didn't know about backs (which is impossible at this point) then why is he interested in paying $300 for a $100 front. I personally think he was just being a d!ck.

I'll take Dan over almost anyone in this forum. He's honest and he doesn't suffer fools. And none of his cards are seriously undergraded.

And I'm not sure why people are defending Dan's behavior. Let's use your example for a minute. Let's say that same buyer walked up to Dan at the National and offered him $300 on his card priced $7500. Do you honestly think Dan would have responded the same? Do you think he would have called a customer at his table an "idiot" and a "dumbshit" and told him to do his homework? Or do you think the situation would have been handled a little different in person? So, I'll ask you the same question. Why is it ok on eBay?

Idk, I haven't met Dan at a show yet so I'll try and see what happens.

I've listed BINs with best offer before, so I've experienced the extreme low-balling phenomena that only seems to exist on eBay. I just let it slide and write it off as annoying... But Dan actually calling one of these guys out publicly was pretty funny to me.

I can pretty much assure you it would go down the same way.

[sdkammeyer]

Well heck. I made a ridiculously low offer on one of his auctions in effort to extract an asinine response and I just got blocked.

I guess you guys' posts set him straight!!

Temper or no, Mr. McKee just listed a few of the most kick ass rare back T206 I have ever seen.

His name is Dan the man

And those missing inks are fabuuuuulous!

Way to get blocked, Steve

[dog*dirt]

Dan,

How about 15 bucks for one of those poor looking cards that have missing color you have for sale? According to various price guides that is what a poor common should sell for. HAHA

I answered you, read the response in the decline email. It was something like this for your $67 offer:

"You have a deal as long as I can cover shipping and buy you dinner tonight"

I was thinking the same thing. No one would be stupid enough to make such an offer in person, but Dan's reaction would be predictable.

I have the strange thought that if I called numerous members "assholes" and then called Leon a "prick" I would get at least a small vacation .... if not a permanent one.

Must be nice to have clout like that.

[sdkammeyer]

Hell we have guys selling $225,000 cards they don't even own around here and they are still members ....

It's like some wild wild west stuff now.

I have known Danny for about 15 yrs. I have spent countless hours with him and we have had lots of dinners etc...together...I know Danny well and consider him a good hobby friend. I guess that is what a lot of folks, especially newer ones, don't know. There are about a hundred, or more, of us that go pretty far back. There are tons of members that go way further back than myself but regardless, a lot of us have deeper hobby ties than just the board. And as for Andrew (Aclinton1107), he just got the boot. There were reasons he wasn't booted earlier. That being said the "Andrew" threads need to either go away on their own or they will be locked. It's not fair for someone to get banned and then not be able to defend themselves while being talked about.

I didn't expect you to respond ... but thank you.

Side note: I couldn't quickly find this thread so I used the sites search function. Using the word "asshole" this one pops up first

Small thrills in life.

.......... (sounded like whining )

[HRBAKER]

It's just frickin' baseball cards.
If a seller has a card priced 10-20 times what you think it's worth, move on.
Either way one of you is wrong and the distance isn't worth the drama.

[Kenny Cole]

Pretty simple, really.

Those who have been around for a long time, who have been proven to have integrity, and whose actions speak far louder then all of the bullsh#t words that I've been reading from some -- they get what isn't even a break because no break is needed. They get a laugh and an offer for a beer when next folks meet up. When you are there, all is good. Until then, get over it.

Scott- not at all. I just dont understand why so many people accept how this asshole is. Per previous post, I can assure you he would not have the balls to speak to someone like he does in person. It's all about the internet....See you at the National

It is totally all about the internet.

My experience is that regardless of how adamant someone might be that their internet persona and 'real life' persona are exactly the same, it's impossible to know; however, relationships generally start from scratch the day the two people actually meet, or at least the threats of violence are forgotten.

While I know of a few times when people finally met and still hated each other, I've run into far more examples where an internet asshole ended up being my friend when we finally met.

So, basically I'm saying that Dan's 'internet balls' are irrelevant (sorry, Dan).
