BUYER BEWARE - Benderbroeth

[Bram99]

I’ve never dealt with either the seller or the buyer here. In this community I tend to give the benefit of the doubt because this isn’t eBay and it feels more close-knit with Leon and others moderating and protecting the community of card collectors.

The seller was wrong to promise and not send the card, and to be more responsive about getting the sale than following through with shipping and post receipt of funds communication.

And I have personally felt the disappointment of being excited to get a card and then having to wait for a card to be shipped or delivered. One of my favorite things is getting a n envelope with a vintage card in the mail.

But all of that said, the delays described are not extreme for a person who is not a professional seller. It’s a baseball card not an organ for a transplant.

I hope it works out to the buyers satisfaction either with a refund or immediate contact and shipment of the card. Good luck.

I had one transaction with this person several years ago. After much goading - our transaction was completed- but it took a while. He was run off the PSA boards for similar issues. He is not a scammer or a thief- just seems to be very disorganized and slow at shipping, and also makes excuses about personal issues. I am pretty much sure you will get your item eventually-

I have also had a few deals with Bender, he is very slow with mailing your cards and does make excuses etc. But eventually you will get your card--He does have interesting items to sell, but very disorganized with everything. Just too bad.
