Cards From The B/S/T Finally Arrived!

[jingram058]

Final update - the $15 or $20 to mail, but worth probably, what, $150 for 6 raw 1948 Bowmans? Well, they were delivered today to someone in Petaluma, California. I hope they enjoy them, and experience less drama with them than me.

I think if the new owner of the cards doesn't go on a message board and post a poorly worded, poorly though out rant, he or she will definitely have "less drama."

I aspire to be perfect like you.

Hmmm the plot thickens . Makes me wonder if seller/shipper mixed packages/ addresses / buyers info. All in all what a shit show this turned out to be . Im sure you are i know i would be disappointed.

P.s. I really hope those Bowmans make their way to you eventually.

WTF. Sorry to hear that, I am hard pressed to think of an explanation.

Hopefully like most the recipient gives the misdelivered mail back and you still receive them.

Now I also feel sorry for Octavio. Looks like he might have mispriced/fat fingered the sale price and sold $150 worth of cards for $15. Now it is very apparent it clearly wasn't about $15.

It looks like it's six beater commons worth about $30

Could be I never looked and know nothing about 48 Bowmans. Was using the OPs estimated value.

I don't get it. Octavio is a long standing member here as well as the Net54 group on Facebook. He has yet to explain anything.. Why?

I don't think Octavio would lower himself to this level.

Wrong answer. You could probably buy one of the beaters for $30.

Don't want to get involved in this thread, but I would like to say that I agree with cardsagain74's appraisal - 48 Bowman commons in fair condition are worth about $5 each - so Octavio did give a good deal on them, just not an insane deal.

You're delusional. Anyone can search "1948 Bowman commons" sold lots on EBAY and find a lot of recent sales between $5 and $10 each for commons in FR-GD, or about $10 each in around VG.

There's a reason Octavio priced them where he did.

[bmattioli]

All I'm saying is your username is all people know and is usually your word if your a good member/seller/buyer or not. Why would someone jeopardize that on a $15.00 sale?

It makes no sense..

Octavio?

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Gotta be one of the most boring and useless threads in net54 history. At least someone started posting some cards to look at.....

I'll be happy to buy this one then sell it to you for $30 in case the others never show up.

Well that's proof positive that the seller mailed them anyway. So in any event that answers your first concern.

That's because you don't have a full grasp of the dynamics at work here. Consider:

1) The USPS is a government agency. Therefore the profit motive isn't a factor here. It's not their money so nobody cares (or gets fired).
2) The more convoluted the journey, the more man hours the journey requires. This facilitates empire building by the postal workers' union while at the same time increasing job security for the individual employee.

So it's a win, win situation for the post office workers. The only losers are those tracking the shipment and complaining about it on discussion forums.
