Is ebayer Yepbg on this site?

He has a lot of cards, most overpriced, but the frustrating thing to me is he doesnt provide back scans. So many cards have back variations that would make the difference in buying or not, even at a healthy price. I need a couple of cards to finish one of the few sets I have been putzing around with for years. I dont even mind overpaying to a certain extent. The card has been listed and re-listed many times and for many months. I sent an email requesting a back scan as the front looks too good to be a Poor as graded by PSA. I assume the back must have damage, though nothing is noted in the description. He didnt reply to my first request for a scan, and I sent another request last week. Received no answer to that one either. I am not sure how (or why) you would run 30 day auctions with minimal descriptions, no back scans, price the product considerably higher than actual value, and repeat the process every 30 days, over and over. I suppose each to their own when it comes to marketing and customer service.

I amazed he ever sells ANYTHING! But he does.....so the beat goes on!

I've had nothing but good dealings with Brian for many years, and found him to be flexible on pricing. Perhaps just making a reasonable offer would yield some results, always worked for me.

He has been friendly to converse with in my situations but we have never got to a point where we could actually get something done. His pricing never got down to this stratosphere. He has one card right now that I would like to have. He has $950 on it. It is worth about $100-$125. I paid that much for a similar but nicer one. No need for me to make an offer on it as it is 700% too high. And he is a member of this board but I don't think he reads it often or has posted.

Always lists for 3x actual value or more. It would be nice to see backs scans and enlargements, but I'm not holding my breath.

As it is I almost feel like his cards are my cards-- I certainly see them more often than my own.

That's pretty funny Todd...

[CaramelMan]

Have nothing negative about the seller except for his stratospheric prices...

He just keeps relisting at the same prices that make you skip over his listings so fast because they are not even in the ballpark....

Maybe he can add a BEST OFFER feature....

Actually he provides an invaluable service. Who needs VCP or SMR when you can just divide by 3?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Obviously what he is doing works for him -- whatever his objective may be -- so what is the point of a diatribe against him?

[kmac32]

Bought from him before and yes he lists cards high. However, he will listen to reasonable offers and does a good job getting cards to you. Never any issues dealing with him.

If the BIN price is insanely high I don't even make an offer. There's no point. I've seen a lot of insanely priced cards on eBay from various sellers (not just this seller) but due to their listed prices I won't even bother making an offer because even a fair offer (based on reality) will appear to be low-balling.

+1. I have had nothing but good dealings with him but he won't come down very much on the cards The cards I purchased from him have been great and his customer service is also top-notch. I think he is first rate but, yes, I'd like to see him come down a little more on the prices and many of his cards would sell quickly....

[nolemmings]

Is there a way I can block him as a seller permanently, or do I have to do so every time I search?

Sorry, TBob, top notch is about the last descriptor I would use for this guy. I've posted this before, but I remember years ago when I asked him to come down $25 on a PX7 Engle disk (red). Not only was I immediately rebuked, but a day or so later he actually jacked the price $25.00. Now this card/disk had been sitting on Ebay for years--in fact, it still sits there today, only he's jacked it another $25.00. I would love it if it sat there until hell froze over.

He has the right to sell for whatever he wants. I have the right to block him and consider him greedy. This is a great country.

Agree with Anthony....and Ken. I have made him offers on his cards that he has accepted at prices I found reasonable. Maybe he has just adopted Levi's business plan ( I buy from him too)
