Also, what sane dealer would proceed with a transaction with no money changing hands!! Adrain, you claimed to have purchased these cards, but yet you still haven't paid a penny to any dealers?? In prior posts you have also claimed to have the cards in hand (52 Mantle), and now you say that the transaction for the coin still has not taken place?! If I was a dealer I would cancel all sales made by you.

Like I said the dealers concerned have no concerns...they all are OK!!! As they should be!!!

If I had purchased a T206 Wagner then yes I would be concerned as well but that is not the case.....chances are if I had picked up a T206 Wagner I could not pay for it...but not these cards.

And as far as I know I have not made such a purchase....yet....hahaha just pulling you guys tail!!!

I doubt the dealers he bought from are shipping without being paid first. Adrian explained why he said he had a card when he didn't. That explanation was sound, to me. (I wouldn't have done it but it still made sense) Most of us have sold and waited a bit to be paid. This is no different. Now, I don't personally think it's real wise to make a ton of deals waiting for money to come in, but can't say I haven't done it on a smaller scale before.


Guys, this show won't go on too long. Whatever decision is made will make people unhappy. If it gets to the point I have to get involved (again) then I will. I just don't like to.

Sorry Leon...I was just simply trying to protect my reputation here. I know the dealers will be paid....not the 1st time I buy something a week or 2 before I pay for it and most likely will not be my last.

Adrian,

What exactly do you think your reputation is? It might be something you want to consider.

My reputation is when I buy something I pay for it and that does not mean I always use the NORM when it comes to payment methods. I do not play games with dealers and yes some times I do change my mind for another card a dealer has that I did not know about before making my 1st purchase.

You miss my point entirely. Best of luck with the hole you are digging.

Some people actually like talking cards with me and a few don't that is always to be expected when dealing with human behavior. People ask for the truth then you tell them...then they feel they have the right to judge you....but hey humans have always been like (Always so quick to point the finger at someone else) that and this will not change. People ask have you paid for your cards yet....I say NO then all hell breaks lose that again is to be expected.

I get a lot of private messages with positive feedback every day so I know I do some good here!!!

It's interesting to me that after this, Adrian doesn't actually own any cards yet. I'm sure the dealers don't mind "holding" inventory that will otherwise just sit there, but what if he starts throwing bids in REA? Not cool imo.

Good God I will not be doing that!!! You are over thinking this way to much. If I chose to bid on that specific auction I will make 100000% sure the funds are in my bank before hand....I know auctions are not the same and dealers on Ebay with their rules.....dear Lord!!!

When I purchased my cards I had told ALL the dealers about my coin sale before buying the cards....out of pure respect to them!!! And ALL where OK with it after talking to me over the phone or via web.

I even offered references to ALL of them but they all refused that option.

Agreed. Some of the dealers he mentions do have a lot of expensive inventory that I've seen sitting on eBay for months on end if not longer. In these cases it would not be a big deal holding items that haven't sold and may not sell for quite some time. I can think of no other case where a seller would put items on hold based on a promise from a buyer.

Reread your whole comment and do agree...
