Mike Denero/Ebay BIN Price Drop

[the 'stache]

I've done business with Mike. As Clyde stated, I think he's quite reasonable, imo.

He ought to be...lol...he steals the cards on Ebay he is selling! I should know...I've sold to him a time or two!

Has anyone seen a listing from Mike Denero lately? Whatever happened to that dude? Don't get me wrong; I don't miss overpriced eBay flips. I just find it curious I don't see any listings anymore.

Yeah, his name was so synonymous with ridiculously overpriced BINs I wonder if he didn't reinvent himself as someone else.

Note: Ebay is offering 8% back in seller's fees for items listed during a promo period. So that 10% drop is really a 2% drop from his perspective.

It seems like Mike is gradually leaving the hobby as he hasn't acquired too many cards since the beginning of the year. I will say this, I have spoken to Mike over the last few years & he is one of the top best sellers in the hobby. True, his prices are listed higher than some dealers, but he always is willing to work with a customer to make the buyer happy. He is honest, sincere, & very respectful to me for years. I hope he is not leaving the hobby because he will be missed.

I agree with this sentiment. Mike's T206 BINs were (are) always a bit high but not outrageously so--and he was (is) willing to do deals at a reasonable markdown.

A little off-topic but David Bryan (davidbvintage--who was mentioned in another thread today) has always been one of my favorite eBay sellers. I have never been able to find fault with his pricing on T206s, E cards, M cards or others (he obviously pays close attention to the market) and he has always provided great customer service.

Here's to the good eBay sellers!

Thx. Never did business with David but will keep an eye out.

I tried a thread a few weeks ago where people could identify some lesser known/hyped eBay seller for exactly this reason . . . .to see if some small guys out there deserved public kudos and see if somehow I was missing someone good. Unfortunately my thread blew up in a matter of minutes when I identified a seller that at least one other person had in their sights and pounced all over. I guess that's my fault in not having encyclopedic knowledge of every grievance anyone has ever had on the board about a seller since day 1 of Net 54.

My understanding is that he is indeed getting out and has reduced his prices to move inventory. Good seller in my experience.
