Default Maybe you should question YOUR grading services??

They could have cared less when I called. I thought they would have wanted them to have an accurate population report?? All I asked for was a free $12 dollar submission. I was treated very poor by the customer service folk at both company's. Maybe you people should question them? Lastly, I have a special needs person sell items for me and his spelling is weak to poor so I am sorry you have to read his description. Many of you know I do this with special needs folk.

You can bash me all u want but YOUR grading services should be smarter then that and take some responsibility. I don't collect cards I sell them, sorry.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had a similar experience. I drank a twelve pack of Bud and afterwards called Anheuser Busch to see if they were willing to buy their empty cans back and I was treated rude by customer service. Those damn companies!

LOL David.

Jim, that makes no sense are you sure you’re not the one with special needs here (kidding)?

Please explain why it would it be a company’s responsibility to give you a cash discount off new services for handing over broken packaging from previous services?

Do you do this with other companies as well like David joked about? Do you go back to Wal-Mart with your empty Oscar Meyer packages at checkout and ask for a few bucks off the total purchase of your new hot dogs for the big picnic? To put it in more regulatory terms do you return your old driver’s license and or passports when you get new ones and ask for a few bucks off? Sorry but I’m having a hard time following your logic.

I do agree with you that TPG’s if they are going to have population reports should make an effort to keep them maintained to the best of their ability. But that doesn’t mean they should pay you for it they don’t have a recycling program I don’t see homeless dudes with shopping carts full of PSA cases trading them in for booze.

As far as you listing them whatever it’s a free market you can list and sell whatever you want. I can see people’s concerns. However I think are bigger concerns to be had than some beat up broken cases on eBay being sold for a few bucks.

I just fail to see how this is being turned back to the TPG’s as their problem, when it’s just a case of single person trying to make an extra buck off worthless garbage…which is basically eBay in a nutshell.

Cheers,

John

Funny blame the grading companies, lol. Ok then just throw the labels away, end of story. Then there is no worry that someone will try to reseal the slab with the real labels, which is what's causing everyone to get upset.

I don't think he even cares about that...he just wants to make sure the population reports are accurate.

You seriously got pissed because they wouldn't send you $12 for your flips? I send them in a PWE $.50 and done.

Also, I hope you pay the challenged kid you have working for you.

First of all, anyone selling these cases is an obvious scammer. He knows EXACTLY what someone is going to do with them. F##k him!!

But what I find hysterical is how he blames someone else for their spelling, but just ignores the fact that he himself has no grasp on the English language (see notes above). And I only took a quick glance.

WOW. Just WOW.

I would think if someone was so worried about correct population reports that if they didn't get the answer they wanted (or the proper customer service) then all they would have to do is get a box, put the holders in it, write a short note and then mail the box, addressed to Joe Orlando, to PSA (via First Class mail).

Not much time, effort or money involved and the proper thing will have been done.

David, Jim tried that but neither USPS, Fed Ex or UPS would give him a credit for the old boxes and labels he had towards this new shipment. Seems the whole system is just against him.

Cheers,

John

anyone that uses mispellings as a point in their argument is really fishing for just about anything to help make their case or point in an argument about someone else.

it really has no bearing on the logic in ones actual argument.

i could care less if i mispell something by accident. most of the time it is just a typo and i really know how to spell the word. i have more important shit to do than to correct every little thing i type throughout the course of a day, especially when its outside of work.

i also don't capitalize stuff for the simple fact that i don't really care to. i write code so doing that in mixed case is a waste of time.

I would have only charged the TPGs $11 for them. I'm not greedy.

...kind of like selling uranium to the North Korean government and then claiming you didn't know what it was going to be used for.

When I click on the original eBay link in the first post, the item is no longer valid.

I see it when I do a completed items search, but when I click the item I get a message that says "Item 251305183289 is no longer available" as if it has been removed.

Does this mean eBay cancelled the listing after it ended? If so, I applaud eBay and thanks to those here that reported it.

That's about the worst excuse to justify the sale of items that facilitate illegal activity on eBay.

If you want, I'll give you the $12. ship them to me and I'll report sn's to psa sgc. Then, I'll burn slabs and post vid on forum for all to see.

Btw , you say you sell cards....these aren't cards...they're slabs!
