I personally work in sales, and have worked in a few different car dealerships and other customer facing businesses. I have seen car deals passed on that made financial sense because the customer was a jerk or we just knew was going to create more problems down the road. Some people simply can't be pleased and a business is better off without these customers. Now I'm not saying that you are necessarily one of these customers and I mean no offense. But since you asked the question, four returns in a relatively short period of time is enough of an indication for most sellers or business owners to decide you're not worth the trouble.

I'm just a raw guy and so have no real opinion that affects me directly re graded cards (in fact when I consign to a AH I expect them to grade them for me). However, since you are a self-admitted registry guy, why are you buying raw? Aside from the Ford episode and their customer service, maybe you just don't have enough experience yet how to buy raw over the internet? You'd probably be better of going to card shows, etc. As for an established online store, I'd think they would grade the cards they think should be graded. And if you think you are going to get a "deal" from these places, those instances will be few and far between. Just my opinion.

Here are more images of one of the cards I returned due to a MK qualifier that I'm getting pilloried for: http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/350281...Jscan30435.jpg http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/350281...Jscan30436.jpg I cannot detect the marks but maybe one of the stone-throwers in glass houses on here can point out the obviousness of the defects. Saving money is not a trait inherent to non-Registry collectors... |

Edited to add: Furthermore, how do you know that PSA didn't get it wrong? What if there really is NO mark on the card? Why are you trusting PSA over your OWN EYES? Last edited by vintagetoppsguy; 07-01-2015 at 08:28 AM. |

Isn't a card only worth what the last person was willing to pay for it?
That Mantle is low grade. I've bought some t's from Battersbox and I get exactly what I expect to get. Did they charge you a restock fee? I would if you sent back half of what you purchased from me.

Jeff -Not looking for anything further. Again, as I said to another member, it's just a general sharing of experience for future members with a similar problem, whether this seller or related to general raw-card buying as a whole. Before I posted I searched this problem on the forum and couldn't find a previous case of it so decided to start the thread. Currently just responding to offshoots of the post on various comments.

Message received. If someone uses a seller's open return policy four times in a rather short amount of time and has his returns honored, he might be banned from future auctions without notice by that seller. Got it.
