Is this bothering anyone else.

I purchased a card from Mike last year. The guy has quality stuff.

He allowed me to set up a layaway plan with a small down payment and pay it off over 6 months. It allowed me to buy a card that wasn't within my budget. I know I paid a little more than it was worth, but I was very happy with this arrangement.

That's pretty cool, David

I think Mike is one of the good guys and although, I too, get annoyed sometimes when every other day his stuff pops up as a newly listed item, it doesn't necessarily bother me to the point where I'm upset. There are about a million other things/people on eBay that I'd rather point out than Mike Denero...but I see where you're coming from, Bob.

I too have had several great experiences with Mike Denero. His prices to me are only slightly higher but like others have said, his cards are really nice. Now Dean's Cards on the other hand, his prices are just plain crazy. I don't know if he ever sells anything, but it is annoying seeing his listings over and over. Just my two cents.

and in a free marketplace one is entitled to ask what they want for their stuff. There are 2 cards I need for my set he has had listed at least 3 years but I believe it's even more than that. I once made an offer on one of the cards and he was kind enough to at least reply. They are all listed about double the going rate. I doubt it cost more than a few dollars to offer these cards on eBay from his store over the entire 3+ years listing. Such listings IMHO devalue the eBay site overall when multiplied times the number of sellers and items that over time clog up what began as an AUCTION site. Buyers become frustrated, buy less, sellers list less or BIN at even higher levels, eventually the overall number of people that like to "collect" is diminshed as they are impacted by availabilty, price, and frustration issues. Just look at almost any collectibles category on FeeBay and you'll likely find only about 10-15% of listings are in auction format - a format that made them king in the collectible market.

And the auction title is mislabeled "Bill" Durham. No wonder is hasn't gotten any bids.

I'm curious, if someone contacted him and asked him if he would take $75 for it, would he counteroffer, or accept it immediately?
