Adrian is selling his T206 MURR'Y

[ullmandds]

David...I think some existing auction houses have already coined that phrase!!!

[MVSNYC]

I took a $10K loss on a vintage card 5 years ago. it was something i consigned to a live auction, had $24K into a card, it sold for barely $14K...that hurt, but i've made it up in other deals.

[thehoodedcoder]

so here is the whole story now that it is basically over with and the card is in the mail:

i was the one who bought the card. he lowered the shipping to 25.00 so i was able to get it for 1425. this completes my collection of name variations...nodgrass, shappe, murr'y, dopner, cpiger

there was a reason why the price was so high on the shipping but i honestly don't remember what it was, but part of that was he wanted it to arrive at the buyer in a timely fashion as it can get held up in customs for a significant period of time sometimes. this is admiral but utlimately not needed to make the sale more attractive to purchases. we were able to work through it.

payment was made last night. the card was shipped today with tracking information as promised.

i spoke to adrian on the phone during the process. he did mention he had ocd but also said he is sound in mind when it comes to everything else. the reason he mentioned for wanting to sell the card is that he realized that he wasn't sure what he wanted to collect before, when he bought the card. he now has an interest in babe ruth cards. he wanted to take what he could for the card and roll it into some babe ruth cards.

i presume he was interested in taking a loss on the card because he was very interested in another purchase that he didn't want to wait for. at the end of the day i think his anxiousness hurt his wallet a little bit but ultimately it his money and his hobby. we all have jumped at a few cards and wiggled some cash to get what we want. in the end, i ended up getting an affordable and reasonable deal and he can buy his ruth card.

the guy does read the board and he basically said you were all "dicks" in not so many words because you are distorting and blowing up everything he said and did. he knows you guys are posting about him. he can read it but he has no way of responding to what you are posting.

he seemed like a nice guy under it all, even though he may have some issues.....but who doesn't. im certian everyone on this board has an issue with something in their life....in some capacity. there is no need to talk about a guy that has no way of responding back or may have some issues that are due to a medical condition.

for instance, if someone made fun of down syndrome people and you had a kid with that affliction....you probably wouldn't enjoy it to much. replace that concept with whatever you take personally.

for the sake of him, i would honestly just ask that you let the thread go....and move on to the next hot topic.

Nothing is being distorted, or blown out of proportion. Nothing. The reason he has no way to respond to what is being posted is because he was banned after being given several chances by Leon to fly straight. He was given great advice by some very smart people, and he choose to ignore it. The fact that he is lurking on a forum where he is banned speaks volumes as to his psyche. He can't let it go.

Ted Bundy seemed like a great guy, too. Sometimes the worst people are the ones that seem most affable when they want something. But when things don't go their way, or somebody disagrees with them, they show their true colors. This is Adrian to a tee.

I do have a pretty serious medical condition. And how did Adrian speak to me once he found out about it?

Oh poor you and your disease
I truly hope it does not come back bohoho so sad.

Clearly, we have all been blowing distorting and blowing things out of proportion.

As one of the forum members that messaged me privately called it, Adrian's behavior was "despicable, disgraceful and disgusting."

He can't wish death on other members anymore. He can't make any more "I'm leaving" threads, followed in close proximity by the "all of you that are nasty to me, your end is coming" threads.

This place is so much better now that he's gone.

[cardsfan73]

While I wish nothing bad to anyone, those vile & hate filled comments that Adrian made are the reason he is no longer here and can't reply. They are also the reason I feel little sympathy for him.

[drcy]

My vote would be to drop this topic. It's a combination of beating a dead horse and repeating old gossip, and if he does have problems I'm not comfortable with it being chatted about on as a water cooler topic on a chat board.

I hope things work out for him. I don't know why anyone wouldn't.

[thehoodedcoder]

admittadly, i didn't read all of his posts.

i don't need to though, like i said....he clearly has some issues. you have never gotten mad and said things that you regret and didn't mean? of course you have. maybe he took it to the next level. ok. well then yea. he doesn't need to be on the board any more but continuing to harp on them in public forum is not going to help anything, especially him and his future endeavours and communication with others.

Kevin...hopefully you'll get you card...end of story.

That's really all that matters isn't it...that we "get" our cards?

It doesn't matter how corrupt the seller...how unstable...how many previous ethical/moral infractions...congrats on completing your...whatever it was subset of T206.

[Sean]

Kevin, I'm really glad for you that you got this card. I know you've really wanted it.

As for Adrian, I realize he can't respond to our comments, but I wonder why he still reads them. It just seems like an act of masochism on his part. And if saying that makes me a "dick" in his eyes, well I can live with that.

However, I will stop discussing him now.

, so true in most instances, stuff trumps all I guess...
