Maybe someone won Hank at a bargain price but didn't pay and that's why the card was back on ebay within days. You never know, Bob, anything is possible, right?

The Ebay scans are the exact same scans in the auction listings. Clear on the Aaron and the Fran Tarkenton. I would find this odd as well

They are efficient!! Move the unpaid lots with no wasted effort.

The Aaron situation is pretty fishy. A non-paying bidder in their auction, then it suddenly sells 15 days later on the BAY?

The "there's something fishy here" expression relates to one of my guys, Charles Lindbergh. When Bruno Hauptmann, the accused kidnapper of Lindy Jr., claimed that a "Mr. Fisch" was the real kidnapper and conveniently he was now dead...the phrases "fish story" and "something's fishy.." originated.

Candiman = Fishiman.

I applaud the members here, especially Peter, who are trying to prevent fraudsters from running amok.

I'm done. These guys are bullshit. They can't talk their way out of this one. They won't never see another bid from me. The people who bid on their cards on Ebay are fools. Ebay needs to shut these guys down.

The fact that they received so many bids from net54 members in the first auction is the most disappointing part of all if this to me. It shouldn't be that hard to spot a scam when the evidence is right there for all to see. My hope is that members will report their Ebay listings until they are banned again and stop supporting their new auction house. It also wouldn't hurt if we would let these threads die to stop the free advertising.

Well, it's either a non-paying bidder () or the house shilled up the auction because it wasn't going high enough. How many people are willing to believe the first explanation?

Peter,

If you actually look at the items from the website auction that were unpaid and have been resold, almost every one of them has sold for less on eBay then they did on the website. There is no conspiracy going on here. I know you guys would love there to be but there simply isn't. When we started the website, for the first auction we obviously wanted to get as many people to register as possible. Therefore, we didn't require any hobby references or credit card information when registering. That, along with some bidders reneging because they said they didn't read this forum prior to registering and bidding in our auction, did result in several non-paying bidders. In the near future, we will begin to implement requirements when registering to bid in order to deter potential non-paying bidders.

I'll take the latter!

Here's the bid history of the '54 Aaron.

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...p2471758.m4792

1853 items bid on and 48% with sipeemen1. Sounds like someone who has influence w/ eBay should contact them about related shill bidding and other illegal practices.

And only 16 retractions.

Look at the bid retractions of the other bidders. Almost all have 2 or more and one has 41.

I received my cards today and other than the 55 Bowman Don Mossi with severe back damage the cards were as described.

Now if Daniel is smart enough to take my advise in post #98 we will see pick up posts with Candiman in the title when his next auction ends.

So you don't have a problem bidding with them given what is shown above?

I personally will not bid with them again. I gave thenm the benifit of doubt and it was proven I was wrong. I think with my posts since I have been on this forum it is very clear I will not bid with sellers who are known scum. That does not mean other members will not. There are pick up threads on here all the time from sellers who are much worse, that is all I am saying.

Wonder how much you were shilled up on your wins.

He mentioned a PSA 7 and 8 1956 Mantle in the next auction, either of which I'd be bidding on as I'm working on a PSA set, but there's no way I'm bidding in that auction.

1) I'd be supporting this BS.
2) Chances are they'll be shilled up.
3) See #1.

Hey guys,

This will be the last time we post on the forum. At least until after some time has passed and we run several more auctions. Only time is going to prove that we are doing things the right way. We came on here to tell our story as Leon advised us to. That was the right decision and we are glad we did. We have had some great conversations with some wonderful people on here and through pm's, emails, and phone calls. Unfortunately there is just too much negativity for us to continue engaging with you guys on here. We are extremely busy working on our next auction and the subsequent one's and we have to focus on running our business. We asked for a chance to prove ourselves and overall we don't believe we were given that chance and that it would be counterproductive to continue posting on here. If you didn't participate in our March 2018 auction then you have never done business with us and how a review of a company can be posted by someone who has never done business with them we'll never know.

We are doing things the right way and that will become apparent as time passes. We will be running several more auctions this year and for years to come. I hope after that some time has passed you guys will reevaluate your opinions of Candiman Auctions.

Thanks,

Daniel & Justin
