Even though the seller cancelled the listing, you should still be allowed to leave feedback. Neg his sorry butt and move on.

Jimmy Allen, the seller, said he is an honest seller. His message seems to indicate otherwise. And the more we spell out his name in this thread the more googling will help others know how he really is. I also like the fact Jimmy Allen is professing law to one of the best lawyers I know.

As a collector, this just makes me sad. I hate that something so innocent from my childhood has turned into this.

I am not in any way chiding the OP and actually agree with him 100% but I can't help but shake my head that people can't just buy, sell and enjoy anymore.


This isn't the first crazy buyer/seller story and won't be the last but makes me second guess why I don't collect My Little Pony like my 5-year-old daughter. She still smiles overtime she gets one. I am left wondering if what I have is real, fake or some combination of the two.

I think Jimmy Allen just lost a lot of business. Can't imagine many on here will ever deal with him again. Hope he calculated the "loss' on this one item, versus the "loss" on whatever else he hopes to sell.

That is all ...

Am I the only one who asked him to block me?

This idiot should have honored the sale and moved on with a leason learned about a reserve bid. The negro/cuban league collectors is really a small tight nit group of collectors and like you said let all your friends know this a-hole is shady ebayer.

This is true for some, but not all. I can tell you that I, for one, will not be bidding on any of Jimmy Allen's items, based on the shady dealing he just had with Kenny, and I was planning to bid on many. Like Jimmy Allen himself said, the group of us that collects the specific kind of items he is currently selling is relatively small. But I had no idea that Kenny was bidding on that photo, and the idea that all of us got together and colluded to allow Kenny to win it at below market value isn't something even Jimmy Allen couldn't really believe. He just needs some excuse to justify backing out of this deal to sell it privately for more money, which is almost certainly what he did. Jimmy Allen might win this battle, but he will lose this war. Good luck selling the rest of those Negro League photos on ebay for what you consider to be market prices. Looks like it's private sales for you from now on. I'll be sure to warn other collectors so they don't get burned in private.

Thanks, Kenny, for bringing this scumbag to our attention. Had he not screwed you and had you not gone public with it, I might have gotten screwed as well. A lot of us might have.

Oof this makes me mad. Count me in as another who will not buy from Jimmy Allen.
