Hey, Nappy1525...welcome to Net54

[Peter_Spaeth]

Did he cheat somebody? Making a lowball offer hardly seems enough to be called a low-life POS especially on his first day?

[Nappy1525]

I have not cheated anyone. I may have made a lowball offer for him but I am very close on 2 other deals. I also just won an auction that I am about to pay for and everytime I win an auction I will pay within the hour

Hi Nappy,

Welcome to the forum. Just a suggestion but, if you are going to negotiate the price of a card, you might want to do it directly through PM rather than putting the offer out there. Sellers like a little privacy in the process.

What do you collect?

Hmm, someone we know just came into some '52 Mantle money, plus

I have neglected, up to now, to introduce myself. I wanted to 'get my feet wet' and be sure I did not do anything to offend anyone.

I will say that I am CERTAINLY glad I don't seem to have ticked anyone off yet!

I will formally introduce myself on a new thread soon.

That is the way to do it Raymond, welcome aboard!

Adam,

I would suggest taking some time to see how the board works and asking questions if necessary before placing bids on auctions that have already closed, making offers publicly in B/S/T threads, and then putting cards up for auction starting at $250 all on your first day.

You mentioned getting ripped off on Craigslist, please understand that the members of Net54 are very protective of this community and we are sceptical (due to prior incidents) of anyone joining up and starting in buying and selling before we have any idea of their background.

Just my two cents, hope all goes well.

Raymond purchased some cards off e-bay from me the other day, I can assure you he paid in a timely manner .

Yeah, if that's all he's done it certainly doesn't warrant that type of response. It may just be an over-reaction on Eric's part. I know I over-react from time to time on here.

[Nappy1525]

So my names Adam I just started to buy cards and if I can sell for a prophet I will sell but I'm not a dealer. So please I didn't mean to offend anyone I'm just here to talk buy sell and maybe trade baseball cards. I'm a good guy I guess just had a bad first day on an offer or two

[Nappy1525]

Yeah best dj I noticed that after I did it a couple times haha thanks I am collecting tobacco cards and also mantles koufaxs things from the 50s-70s and if it's a good price earlier years I will buy that too

[Nappy1525]

Eric I bought $375 worth of cards 2 hours after I joined and I just won an action I'm about to pay for so I'm sorry I made you a bad offer but I don't really deserve that

As the "auctioneer" I can confirm that payment was just received by me. Thanks Adam!

If you're a tobacco guy and a Mantle guy I think you'll like it here. Good luck on the card hunt!

Prophets are card collectors? Who knew? Probably vintage.

His post history is certainly entertaining.

Peter,

No, not yet. I just call 'em like I see 'em. Without evidence, counselor, I shall withdraw my claim.

However, I do hope that Net54 has been duly notified.

The (virtual) prosecution rests.

Case dismissed.

[t206hof]

I agree with you Peter. There is nothing wrong with trying to get good deals on cards. He didn't do anything wrong.

Glad I did not get this type of reception to the site. Ease off. Welcome Adam.

Agreed. Witch hunts are just as poison as anything else for this board/hobby. How about waiting until he falters before stringing up the noose?

Welcome, Adam. Just slow your roll a little and follow through on sales/purchases and you'll be fine.
