Got a pretty funny followup from the guy after politely asking which answer he gave to multiple people was the correct on. It was a slow day at work and I wanted to put a smile on my face to see how big of a hole this guy could dig. I guess I'm easily entertained, but also wanted to put more pressure on the guy so he knows he's being watched. Here is follow up to me, cut and pasted again from ebay messaging, nothing at all altered.....

We are sorry you cannot accept our answer. As for the email this morning, it was sent by the same young man who listed the item and he assumed he was doing the right thing. He has since been informed on proper protocol on a matter like this.

In the meantime, we did not sell the card off line, nor would we as indicated by our business history. In closing, since we are a large management firm, all of our Ebay transactions are private and always have been as are many Ebay sellers.

Thank you again for your interest.

I've also been blocked from bidding on his auctions. I love when fraudulent sellers do me the favor of keeping me away from them so I don't have to worry about accidently bidding on something of his years from now.

Default My Thoughts

Part of me wants to believe that this is just a mistake. The fact that he didn't wait a while, or try to sell this card under a different ID indicates to me that this had to be a mistake. But the thing about "A new member of our staff listed this card" just doesn't add up. How did he know how much to ask for? Surely this new employee is taking direction from someone, especially on a card that expensive (sort of). Besides, $36 is too much to pay for a reprint IMO. Unless of course......

As has already been pointed out here a few times, this is not an isolated incident with this seller. He asks that we take his full history into account before we judge him and I agree.

Brad. Why would you sell reprints online, or off for that matter?.. I can't think of any positive outcome from doing it. Sorry bud, had to say it.

Maybe for those people that like the player/card and can't afford the real thing. I see nothing wrong with selling reprints as long as they are advertised as such. Along the same lines as copies of photos of Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and the Babe that people sell every day.

Just my .02

You make it seem selling a disclosed reprint would tarnish a legitimate collectors reputation I bought the card as a reprint and sold the card it as a reprint, what's the problem with that?

Not being able to afford the real card is a possibility, but is totally irrelevant in this thread! I hope this clears any misconceptions you may have towards me. If you have any other question regarding my credibility as a seller, please don't hesitate!
