I've been reading this thread and wondering why anyone would even consider dealing with this guy - are the prices incredibly low or something?

What he just said. With so many better AH's peddling sports material of one sort or another, why give your $$ to him?

Good friend of mine “purchased” a card off him last night. Very good price. Seemed too good. Today the email arrived about how it was out of stock and sorry for the inconvenience. Could happen to any seller, but based on the posts above it is more than enough to end up on my do not use list.

It's like a time warp. I remember doing mail order deals as a kid with all of these same hallmarks in the 70-80s. Only then, long distance calls were expensive so sending letters back and forth was the usual way.

Anyway, I'm reminded of Grandpa Simpson when I see some people adapt to new technology, like websites: "Why, the fax machine is nothing more than a waffle iron with a telephone attached...."

Yes, this. The service is a time warp (bad) but the prices in some cases are also a time warp (good). Plus he has some items that don’t show up very often on eBay or at auction.

Just add a risk premium, say 50%, into your calculus for the extra hassle and the chance that you will never get the item. In some cases the economics may still make sense.
