Dean's Cards Discounts

He clogs up the listings we all have to scroll and scroll past knowing how ridiculously priced they are. I am sure Dean is aware of this and knows what hobbyists think of his business model, yet it doesnt seem to change how he prices cards whatsoever.

I just bought a card from Dean's. Raw 1960 Mantle

I have attempted to buy cards from Dean's a few times over the past couple of years and have found them to be extremely difficult to work with. It's nice to see at least someone is able to get deals done with them.

They don't negotiate if that's what you mean. But they're otherwise pretty easy to deal with IMO. As long as you find a card you want at the price you're willing to pay (easier said than done though). You get 20% off on their website for invoices over $1k.

I have found like most posters here for their prices to be unreasonably high (at least on the cards I have wanted) and any attempt to get them into some zone of "fair," maybe 10-20% over comps has been met with a resounding no.

On ebay - is there a way to block a seller so you don't see what they have for sale when searching for a specific series of cards? For example, if I want to search for 1934 Goudey cards, then we just type 1934 Goudey in the search field and the results are presented (but would like it without a specific seller's offerings).

I wonder how many Deans threads have been posted on 54 over the years.

Go down to Sellers (near bottom) - put user ID in "Specific sellers (enter sellers' user IDs)" - select "Exclude"

You can put your search at the top of the page. And yes, it should be easier to do than this, but this is what we got.
