I am gonna vent

[rainier2004]

How difficult is this?

If you don't like "offers" then set a floor or a BIN...I guess coming to a national message board and debating this is more productive somehow. If its in the BST then set a price. Either way, make it clear in the OP what in the hell you are talking about.

Coming to the same place to complain about buyers where you gain "knowledge" is bad form...argue with the same people you learn from. Others learn from past sales, similar examples and analyzing trends in the market place which seems to be over your head while you rely on these opinions to create a business model that quite frankly comes off as predatory. How about make some contribution to this board? Where is your expertise? This is a community, not some place to displace your passive-aggressive attitude to get what you want.

Ok I want to address this post.

If you don't like "offers" then set a floor or a BIN

I will be doing so after this thread. I used to and got away from it and don't know why I haven't gone back yet. I forgot in all honesty.

I guess coming to a national message board and debating this is more productive somehow.

It is definitely not productive, however I rarely vent, so I would like to to invoke my first amendment right.

If its in the BST then set a price. Either way, make it clear in the OP what in the hell you are talking about.

I have attempted to clarify myself through numerous replies on this thread. Not sure if you have seen them or read through them but I stated very clearly in replies and did my best to answer questions.

Coming to the same place to complain about buyers where you gain "knowledge" is bad form...argue with the same people you learn from.

This was not my intention, and I never made mention of any specific buyer on Net in my initial post. It was only after being provoked by certain buyers whom are culprits of what I am speaking about that I said something direct. As a "dealer" now, I am sure I am speaking for a lot of dealers with this post whether or not they will chime in and agree is another thing.

Others learn from past sales, similar examples and analyzing trends in the market place which seems to be over your head while you rely on these opinions to create a business model that quite frankly comes off as predatory.

It's not rocket science in all honesty. I don't deal much in cards, so I rely more on worth point, and past auction results at auction houses as well as advice from certain dealers that have taken me under their wings so to speak when making prices, due to the types of items I sell. I try to only offer unique items that are not easily attainable on the open market, and by effectively marketing them I hope to bring a profit. I by no means am predatory and you can ask anyone on here who has ever dealt with me.. I am as honest a person as they comes and truthfully I hope someone will chime in here in regards to this. I always work with people on price, and am a pretty easy person to deal with when I buy as well, as many can attest to.


How about make some contribution to this board? Where is your expertise?

I have tried numerous times to make contributions, most recent example being offering my advice of the message board to anyone that wanted help with Jackie Robinson autographs about a month ago. (feel free to go check) My expertise lies in Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson, and I have definitely chimed in and helped those with questions pertaining to my area of knowledge.

This is a community, not some place to displace your passive-aggressive attitude to get what you want.

I totally agree with you here and maybe I should not have made this post, but I was getting a mad run of squids (term I use for slimy cheap buyers) and felt compelled to create a thread. Not sure what you mean by me using this thread to get what I want though. I did not want anything from this, just a mere outlet to let out my bottled up frustration, and I ran out of pages in my diary


As for you Mr. Dewey. Oh man oh man what shall we do with you?

Mr. Fake News himself.

Is this where I insert the obligatory lol?

no this is where I insert this from October 27th



Keep in mind I get this literally the day after the one at Leland's sells for $1650. Yea thanks for the offer.

to this i say




as well as you nickel and dimed me on a undated Boston Red Sox grand stand ticket back in February and actually purchased it because "it had Ted Williams number on it"

I'll chime in. I've done numerous deals with Stephen. I've never met him, never knew him before Net54, but a class act all the way who's always asking questions and always trying to learn more about the hobby whom I never mind helping out. Ever.

Stephen,

To become a major force in the hobby, which is your stated intent, I would suggest starting here with a vintage book published in 1936, but still available.

However, if you want to continue your present trajectory, going deeper may only require a better tool.

Maybe it's just me, but if someone posted my paypal info on here I'd be pissed. I'd suggest you pull that down immediately.

There is too much drachma on this thread, do you agree franc?

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

huh? I don't see the big deal Pete but I am sorry if it offended anyone.

[ibuysportsephemera]

I don't care if you are correct about him making offers...it is really bad form for you to post this. You should have just posted that you have emails that say differently and left it at that.

I have asked before and others have also asked....why is your eBay address California and your actual address New York?

Jeff

I answered this question every single time. I lived in California for some time in 2015 as a songwriter and was using eBay to put money in my pocket as a side job. I was registered in CA.

I have moved back to NY and have changed the address but it keeps showing CA. No idea why. I don't understand how it's a big deal in any way though. You buy from me you get your item. Who cares what state it came from? I pay NYS sales tax as well and file NYS returns.

Look at my feedback. I am 100000% on the up and up.

Never understood the big deal over this issue.

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Now you know my life story in a nutshell everyone.

Anyone else want to share?

I don't think you understand how the first amendment works.

[Dewey]

That's not me. You can continue to slander me, but like I said you have me confused with someone else. You showed private correspondence between you and a different net54 member. Not me. Bad form.

If bringing unique items to market means buying dirt cheap historicimages pictures that are worth about what you paid then trying to flip for 10x is what you have in mind, go nuts. You are free to do it, all in the name of being a force in this hobby. I am free to not trust you.

That is 100% my mistake then. How many Dewey's can there be? I apologize for that. I truly am sorry for the mix up. Thanks for talking trash about me anyways though.

If you are sorry you will edit out the comments that lie about me and throw a different net54 member under the bus.
