4 Sharp Corners

[JollyElm]

Hey, when you guys talk about weekly or monthly discounts, are those the prices they show on their site (for instance, originally $149.99, now $134.99) or is there an additional code you pop in at checkout? I'm trying to buy something, but haven't heard back from them regarding their 10-15% off offers yet.

Thanks.

The price that is listed is the cost. No codes to type in.

The only problem that I've had with 4SC was on an 83T Boggs PSA 10: When the card arrived it looked different to me so I checked the original listing and they sent me a different card than the one that I had purchased. They said that someone else hit buy just before I did and when that happens they substitute the same grade. I was pissed because rather than telling me and offering the same grade they shipped and didn't say anything. They did offer a refund.

I have never purchased from them but I did look into them after I read this post.

I guess, with over 64,000 sold items, there is bound to be a few negatives, but in all honesty, based on what I read here, I thought they would have an immaculate reputation.

I have purchased from them as well, reasonable pricing usually and reasonable shipping costs. I had only one problem with them but it stopped me from buying from them since it occurred.

This is what happened:

I was on eBay the other day looking for the remaining cards from my Hall of Fame collection for the years 2014-2016. I am collecting one card of each Hall of Fame player starting from 2016 going backwards, one raw card for my wall and a second one that is graded for my storage.

I found six graded cards all from one dealer at a reasonable cost. I have purchased cards from this seller before so I figured if I was reasonable I could get a deal. I mean I wasn't buying one card I was buying six. Being a patron of the seller and buying in bulk, I figured it was a foregone conclusion that I would get the discount. Here was my correspondence:

I would like to buy these cards:

-1988 DONRUSS #644 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 10 $19.99

-1988 TOPPS #779 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 10 $24.99

-1988 TOPPS TIFFANY #779 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 9 $29.99

-1969 TOPPS #237 BOBBY COX RC YANKEES HOF PSA 7 $44.99

-1989 O-PEE-CHEE #186 RANDY JOHNSON RC EXPOS HOF PSA 9 $24.99

-1988 SCORE #638 TOM GLAVINE RC BRAVES HOF PSA 10 $27.99

Since I'm a patron of your store, and I'm buying multiple items, I'm wondering if you can sell these cards to me for 150.00 +16.00 shipping (6.00+2.00+2.00+2.00+2.00+2.00, as your ad says).

If yes, can you set it up so i can purchase it as such.
The total price for the cards was $172.94 and I was asking $150.00. How reasonable do you think that is? Factor in that except for the Bobby Cox card, they all were from the junk wax era and all are easily found, don't you think $150.00 is reasonable. I'm not sure why, but the seller responded thus:

Thanks for the offer but we will pass.

I was never more surprised in my life except when my wife told me she was pregnant. I'm a bit of a hard head when it come to negotiations on used items, so when someone rejects my offers out of hand I tend to avoid them in the future. This seller has lost my business.

That was back in early 2016 and I haven't bought anything from them since. Like I said I'm a bit hard-headed when it comes to used items.

I've made 72 orders since 2014 - all over $75 to save on shipping and virtually every card was cheaper than ebay prices.

Great, easy to work with - I highly recommend.

I don't think they have huge margins worked into their prices so getting ticked because they don't discount a PSA 10 card that's $19 is kind of a joke to me.

Welcome to the forum.

As a collector, I generally do not email sellers about a better price....I either pass if the price is not to my liking or look for a seller who offers the same item with the best offer option and make an offer through that seller. I can't remember ever sending a seller a message to solicit a better price, however, I routinely send offers via the best offer option.

As a seller, I use the best offer option to indicate to buyers I am willing to entertain reasonable offers on an item. However, as I have costs to cover, if the item I am offering does not have the best offer option, I also pass on any offers like you made.

It's always cheaper to buy through their web site versus ebay. You can buy all of the cards on your list in those grades from their site right now for $158.58 which includes free shipping. That is actually less than your offer with shipping. (If you live in Mass. they will also charge state sales tax.)
