I've never seen someone start so many derogatory posts one one central subject.

Funny considering this is the first time I have commented on PWCC.

But Mr. SPencer has started FOUR threads stroking PWCC

....from section four of the bylaws :..yada yada yada " and therefore no thread shall exceed nine pages in length without therein being posted a minimum of one (1) pre-war baseball card " yada yada yada

..Hey , I don't make the rules..

Very true, but I am not a shill media praise-giver. I have no interest in PWCC as a company or its owners, but only that they offer a nice alternative to the more traditional AH's what with no vig, easy payment options, and quick efficient shipping. Sadly, they cannot control Ebay actions, as I found out to my disgust last night when I lost a card due to no fault of PWCC. Brent even sent me a private email last night saying that next time use snipe bidding to avoid any similar episodes. I thought that was pretty classy.

My auction closed 7/14 at 9:41pm. Paid by Paypal.

Card was at post office next afternoon 7/15 officially in transit.

You guys who want to stay up till 3 am and then have an AH hold your check for a week and then ship 9 days later crack me up. Maybe you just like to drag the process out and make it painful.

Why must everything be so polarizing? On this thread, I've read that I'm stupid for buying from PWCC and now I'm a masochist for buying from an AH. I happily buy from both. Sure, I wish that some AHs shipped faster and accepted PP, but I'm not going to let the need for a little patience prevent me from going after a card I desire.

+1, lots of great options out there !

man i was so close on that psa 9 rose last night. now i'm wishing i'd have bid just one notch higher!!!!

[Snapolit1]

Good point Sam. I wasn't trying to be polarizing but indeed may have contributed to that. There are some auction houses I like a great deal. My only point in feeding this thread is that I think there are business practices among the large AHs (particularly closing auctions at 4:30am and taking two weeks to get your stuff to the PO) that show a real lack of respect for their customers. I understand they have business reasons for doing it. And maybe its a "good business model" despite the lack of consideration these practices exhibit. But I'm done with that nonsense. As Damon Wayans used to say on Living Color, Homey don't play that anymore. PWCC's pared down business model (no glossy catalogs, take Paypal, shipping quickly, etc., etc.) has to be forcing these guys to reassess or they are foolish. We buyers only have so much money to spend.

You must have never bought a scarce or rare baseball card before.

When a truly scarce or rare card on my wantlist comes up for public sale for the first time in many years (if ever), I don't care whether it's in REA, Heritage, LOTG, B-L (err, I mean B), eBay, or Billy-Bob's: I'm a bidder. To do otherwise would be cutting off my nose to spite my face.

Billy-Bob's always has the cards I'm looking for
