Is there people you wont buy from simply because of their attitude?

[milkit1]

Was curious how many out there, if any, wont buy from someone on here,ebay, and/or at a show simply because their attitude sucks.
I have a couple myself. I've been to a show where just simply asking how much a card is (because the dealer didnt bother putting a price on it) is meant with disgust or just a general crappy attitude.
I've passed on a few deals on before simply because of previous dealings where emails go unanswered, they are not helpful in the least, or you get short condescending responses.
I'm of the opinion I'd rather spend my money with helpful, courteous people.

I only have 3 sellers I won't buy from. 2 on eBay and 1 on here.

One "old school" card dealer, for multiple instances of card misrepresentation.

[wonkaticket]

Yes

[Peter_Spaeth]

Quite a few, because I believe they are outlets for card doctors.

[packs]

Totally. There are even people I wouldn't sell to because I don't like them.

[Joshchisox08]

Attitude NO, Price YES but that's mostly all eBay

If there's a rare card that you need for your collection, just about everyone who says that they wouldn't, will in fact buy the card, regardless of who the seller is. Same thing is true with the auction houses.

I am sure there have been a few, but I usually just forget about them and move on to the next card or seller...I have found that bad customer service gets its own 'reward' without my help.

Everyone can have a bad day, but I prefer to be treated at least as well as my money.

Absolutely. Good topic.

I always find it helps to bring my beautiful fiancé with me to shows. Dealers will usually spend more time talking to her than me and when I ask for a price, it's usually lower than what's on the card.

[bbcard1]

there are a couple of folks I generally avoid. During the heyday, I would always avoid anyone who had a dice game. Unless you're old you probably don't remember those.

There are four of five type dealers and once you have done this a little you know which one you are talking to immediately.

1) The guys I can do business with. A professional who treats you decently and prices things fairly but doesn't give stuff away. William Chappel and Rand Bailey are this type of folk. They will be 80% of my money most shows.

2) the unpriced pile-er…there are two sup-varieities of this type dealer…the guy who will shoot from the hip on a price and the buy who has to look every card up or get a price when his partner comes back. I work with guy one, usually walk away from guy two.

3) The museum curators who sets up at shows but have no intention or need of selling anything at less than top dollar. There are mostly older retirees who are just doing card shows to have something to keep them busy. Pass.

4) The buy guy and the auction house…they aren't there to sell, just to make connections and buy. No need to spend a lot of time with them.

5) The visitor…he's too busy opening packs or talking to his buddy to help you. There is also the lazy guy and the asshole who are close cousins to the visitor.

I am not a dealer and hardly ever sell a card, but have often thought while at shows that if I was ever to set up a table I would likely commit homicide before the show was over. I bet dealers could tell some great stories about people who visit their tables

+1. I heard many a things that my young ears shouldn't have behind a table at shows.

Here's the one for me that I avoid and don't do business with.
I walk up to the table and he's either talking/bragging either to his buddy sitting with him or on his cell phone about the latest awesome pickup or pull he had, all the time not acknowledging the customer who is thinking of spending money at his table. I move on pretty quickly from "the visitor".

[Gradedcardman]

Most certainly YES

[auggiedoggy]

Yes and I have a few people I won't sell to. All on eBay. My transactions here, while few, have all turned out well.
