BUYER BEWARE - Benderbroeth

[Moose117]

Within the last minute, I received a PM from Edward with a tracking number.
I'll update once the card is in hand.
In the meantime, I rescind the term "thief" from my description, but that is all.
I still consider what he's done extremely wrong, dishonest, and not trustworthy at all.
The silver lining is this is the first bad deal I've had here.
Hopefully it'll be the last.

Edward's original BST posting offered two cards - the Clemente RC and a 52T Mays. I was the buyer of the Mays. I purchased on the 1st of June. Card was very well packed and arrived today - the 8th. Not super quick - but I'm good with the delivery. I had not previously contacted Edward about delivery of the card - but also received a PM with the tracking info within the past hour (and coincidentally the post man arrived just a few minutes later). I imagine that PM was a result of the postings here and maybe a tickle from Leon. In any event... I'm happy with the card and there are no complaints from me about my deal with Edward.

I'm glad to hear you received it safe and sound.
Wanna sell it? Haha that's a good looking card.

Nope. I've been under-bidder on I don't know how many lower grade Mays over the past dozen or so years - price constantly creeping up and me always trailing the market. Finally I've got it and I'm holding onto it. Already freed from that slab and taking his place next to Virgil Trucks in my binder. Not a blazer by any means but certainly good enough for my low to mid grade set. For quite a while it'd been the only "lower" number that was missing from my set. Still got a bunch of highs (including Mays and Mathews) that I'm chasing and that'll likely be a long time coming.

I have to say, I think saying "extremely wrong, dishonest" is a little much ...

And just like me, you're entitled to your opinion.

No experience with this seller but if you want to trade and/or sell cards you have to be prepared to ship and communicate in a timely fashion. If there is a delay, the buyer has a right to know how long..... To hold a few hundred dollars from someone without letting them know what's going on is just sloppy.... If you want to ship on your time schedule maybe you should not be selling/trading cards and should consign such items.....

I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong, mind you.

I guess I was a lucky one, have purchased twice from Edward, was a little slow, but no issues at all. Good luck with transaction

I've done $10k+ biz with Edward-- always delivered. He is an odd fellow, but I don't feel it is right to boot him over this complaint.
