How did he expect you to know he was a retired postal inspector?

Gary, what, you didn't know either?!

When I get a super-great deal, I pay fast and keep my mouth shut other than to say 'thank you'.

There are such things as miracles after all.

Ben, not to take away from your moment of wit, but I learned this behavior during the famous BL 460 event of 2002. At least one current board member learned the hard way.

Just a thought, but sometimes people may have had to deal with picky buyers about shipping and if someone mentions it up front, it might be a red flag to that seller that they may be getting a hard to deal with buyer.

I have done the same thing myself though after getting packages that were beat up. Some people just don't get it I guess.

I had one "picky" buyer this season, two months ago someone bought a photo off of me. He asked me to write "hand-deliver only" all over it because items haven't been arriving for him, and he wasn't sure if it was the mailman or someone stealing his packages. So I did, it showed as delivered a few days later, and I didn't hear from him, thinking all was good.

Last week, over 6 weeks after it was delivered, he opened a case against me because he never received it. Still hasn't communicated directly with me. Kinda frustrating.

^^THIS^^ Some buyers are crazy. Just look on this forum, some people freak out and make a thread about how something was shipped when it arrived perfectly.

I have had buyers freak out because they did not get their card in a new penny sleeve, new top loader, in a new team bag.
