I struggle to understand why someone who SELLS baseball cards cannot be bothered when someone else actually wants to BUY those cards...

Can any of you "Grey Beards" help me out!

I hear ya. I'm usually pretty patient/understanding, as I know many may just be selling on the side, may not have time, or simply may not be as into it as others. This guy however left some nice $ on the table due to what seemed total indifference to selling the card, which had otherwise sat for months, maybe a year on eBay as a BIN. Given the price hike, I expect it may sit another year. I know I'm not buying it.

He is the seller and he can ask whatever he wants AND change the price. I would not do business this way, but it is his item. If you do not like it, just simply avoid doing the deal.

COMC is getting horrible also. Getting a lot of the museum listings and the people that jack up their prices if you make a offer.

He and I had a few cordial discussions. He was fine to discuss cards, just had his ways, I had mine. We did not reach a deal that I remember, but he wasn’t an a-hole.

Refusing to answer a polite and serious inquiry on a card, except to raise the BIN price, is a hole behavior IMO.

My advice is to not waste your time with this seller. They are one of a select few sellers on Ebay that I simply ignore now, like Dean's. If you're not willing to lower your asking price more than a few percent, you shouldn't use "or best offer" listings.

That's fine, and as the "buyer" I will not be buying. I definitely didn't start the thread in a negative way toward the seller. I was hoping he'd be a board member, or would at least have some friends here who could help connect me with him since he hadn't responded to my multiple eBay inquiries. I instead got a handful of "stay away" warnings, and I'll heed that advice. I'm sure others have had, and will have good dealings with him too. He's got some nice cards, just some seemingly odd selling practices.

Jeff Powell. Dealt with him in the late 1900s and early 2000's without a problem.

Does anyone have this guy’s email address or a way to contact off eBay? If so, I would appreciate the info/help. Thanks
