Maybe he could start a gofundme for the 15$?


Most times it's the usps to blame, though others like to rush to judgement

What part of this do you morons simply not understand? How many times do we have to tell you? It IS NOT about the freaking money. It's about the cards. Get it through your thick skulls, and DROP IT. PLEASE.

For someone who's on Risa, you would think you would be more relaxed by now.

[Republicaninmass]

Probably not in this case, but many times on ebay I got a "score" and they never showed up. I had anxiety over the shipping, as another buyer could easily try to offer more money, and in the end I was correct. The seller had never shipped and I missed out on a card. A few times it was even a BOARD MEMBER who made the offer and ended up with the card, after I'd paid for it!

Thanks Jorge...now I'm hungry...Jerry

This is a very informative thread, in spite of what some might have said already I have learned a lot! Some is what was already known but reinforced.

1. Always insist on getting tracking info.
2. Don't start diss threads for purchases under fifty bucks.
3. Never trust USPS to deliver something on time.
4. Some folks will argue anything.
5. Keep a closer eye on BST stuff is obv cheaper there than I realized.
6. Leon is a boss, deal straight or be prepared to answer for it. I like that.
7. Don't freak out if it takes two weeks to get a package. (see item #3)
8. Folks on this forum are passionate collectors and look out for each other.
9. Communication solves problems, OP was mad but respectful enough not to flame the seller and it looks like it's working out for everyone.

[BRoberts]

I'll be happy to mail you $15 to make you whole, Jim.

So all this drama is over $15 bucks?

He's not refunding anything. Case closed. Dismissed...

[Peter_Spaeth]

It often seems to be the case that once a USPS package goes off course, it stays there for a while. That said, the trip out to Colorado is remarkable.

Peter hi agreed insane were good

I once sent a certified letter with some original documents that literally disappeared for two months, reappeared in the destination city (LA), pinged back and forth between LA and (of all places) Sacramento for a week, and then finally got delivered to the WRONG ADDRESS lol but fortunately the person contacted the addressee who picked it up.

I have had 2 very recent mailing issues with Sterling Auctions and another board member. I won a small item in Sterling and sent a check as I am a cheap bastard and will save a few percent when I can. After weeks, I got an email saying it hadn't arrived. Lee and I (*hey Lee) just said he would ship and we could make it right on advertising....About a month later Lee said he got the check and it looked like the USPS machine messed up the envelope. He just tore it up, no problem.

On the other, it was one of those huge Team pics that was auctioned on the front page. I sent it out within a few days and sometime later (3 weeks'ish) the winner asked about it. I tracked it and it only showed, in transit. I told him I would go ahead and refund him (it was a small amount but still) and he said just wait. Quite some time later (maybe a month) he said he finally got it. Stuff happens.

Halftime report:

Thread gets started about a lost package from a deal on the BST.
Multiple rants by the OP.
The board gets drawn in more.
Leon gets drawn in to mediate.
Tracking history is provided by Leon.
Seller's name never gets disclosed.
Seller pops in, anyway.
Nobody involved will clarify if tracking was ever provided.
Seller offers refund and OP rejects it.
All over $15...

Let me help on my only small part. Seller said it was given to the buyer and the buyer said he didn't get it. I don't really care at this point. And no, I didn't want to get pulled in, but am always happy to try to help.

Here is a completely unrelated Bowman given to me by the OBC guys a long time ago..

The Reese is by far the best reason to click on this particular thread. Thanks for the thread save.

It appears good communication from the start from the seller (and during the shipping process) could have prevented the buyer from getting rightfully frustrated.

I recently made a forum purchase from Seablaster and he provided tracking right away (without me having to ask first) and let me know, that he feels he is responsible for the package until it arrives to the buyer. In my opinion, that kind of seller experience on here is A+ and something everyone should provide.

On the other forum I am a member of, I have also made it a point at times to send a message to the buyer during shipping, letting him or her know that I am actively tracking the package and am aware of its location (or delay). It helps quell most concerns of the buyer when he or she knows you care.

I'll take "It's the principle" for $15, Alex.

Personally, if I feel ripped off, I am going to say something, $15 or $1500. James didn't put Ocatavio's name out here. He was just pissed at the situation. I think there were some miscommunications, or human error, and will just leave it at that. It doesn't matter a whole lot. (it can be argued, but I won't care )

The cards were shipped on time and USPS is a joke on this one.

To clarify too, yes, if a member asks for a tracking number, and tracking was to be provided in the shipping (how can it not be?), then it should be given to the buyer.

Both are good members. Happy collecting!

The card is taking a short Fat Ass Herzog tour, but without the pictures.

At this point it's like that scene in Happy Gilmore when he takes that miniature golf shot and everyone's eye's are watching it bounce from one point to the next.

Jim - hopefully you have the tracking information now. You just missed Happy's initial hit from the hockey stick putter.

I don't give a flying fk if its over $1.50, refusing to promptly forward tracking information when asked is bad form to say the least. Seems like this long time board member just went out of his way to pick a fight that could have been defused in 15 seconds.

[kcohen]

That must have been the most convoluted journey since Large Ass Herzog.

[Balticfox]

Large Ass Beyoncé gets more attention these days (to my dismay).

[tlhss]

You still may get your cards.

I recently purchased an item on eBay. Seller was in Iowa. I’m in Illinois. Took a month to arrive. The path it took was pretty amazing:

Iowa to South Dakota to Puerto Rico to Florida to Indiana and finally to Illinois.

Let's make this a "Show us your 1948 Bowman cards" thread. I believe I have 4 or 5. Here is my laminated (with sliced top border) Ralph Kiner.

An awesome member and I are going through a similar situation; my man has been on it since the get go. He put an insurance claim in about a week ago. Package has been MIA since 2/24. Do these things ever turn up out of the blue? Since the claim went in, I can’t track the package any more. Kind of sad. A 115 year old card winding up in some facility In Philadelphia

I had a package that made the trip all over the US and turned up over a month later. There is hope.

[jingram058]

Uhhh...just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water...take a look at this. Yes, Octavio's package WAS marked as "Out For Delivery". But I think whoever received it realized it wasn't for them, and now it's back in circulation again. This beats anything:

[Peter_Spaeth]

You previously reported they had been DELIVERED. Was there a scan showing an actual delivery? Out for delivery is not the same thing. That just means it was given to the carrier.
