eBay situtation. You can all draw your own conclusions

[SMPEP]

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.

dunno if I can do it...the velvet mohammed ali painting he's selling is calling my name!

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.

Love the "Mr. Cole, my reputation as an honest and professional dealer directly impacts my ability to make a living" line.

Your rapidly growing reputation here as a complete #turd impacts that as well

Alienating the members of this board will definitely effect his bottom line.

[ramram]

I'm suspecting it has already occurred, but has anybody made him aware of this thread? Sounds like he knows about this website.

His feedback rating is now at 96 thanks to Kenny! With the little business that this guy does another 1 or 2 negatives and this guy will be all but finished.
