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.

So many that John O doesn't even comment on them any more.

Haha...I think I made my point about 20 threads ago...

Have to agree with many posters that Deans is extremely hard to work with and it’s amazing they are still in business. Wouldn’t surprise me if the business was a front for something else. Many items they want triple the value (at least) and they don’t care what any recent comps just sold for.

Then again, maybe Deans is super generous when buying items or collections which means they have to sell for more.

Enough Dean's should send Leon a advertising check. I know I rarely check their site. When one of these threads pop up I go and see what they have and sometimes buy a card or three. I have nothing but good things to say about my transactions with them.

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.
