Who is the Best EBay Seller for Baseball Memorabilia

[Leon]

So I guess we can assume there will be no exchanging of Christmas presents between Frank and Scott?


I have done business with most mentioned in this thread with no bad transactions. I received a shipment from my good friend, and fellow Texan, Jon Richmond (jonsstats) today. I sat next to Henry Yee for several hours once, at a Mastro dinner. He seems like a really nice guy. That being said if you do a search on this forum you will see some things mentioned, from several years ago, about him allegedly embellishing a bit too much with his descriptions. He certainly knows quite a bit about photographs. best regards

I don't think the complaints against Henry Yee were for embellishing, but rather for shill bidding.

A quick search proved that there were allegations of shilling AND some embellishing. I knew I remembered Scott Forest ragging him for the embellishment...

Leon,
You are so right. I had forgotten about Jon Richmond . A class act and a great guy to talk to.
A little follow-up to Myself and Scott Gaynor We have talked and because of this posting I believe we have been able to work out an agreement. After all is done I will write about it and let you know the out come. But just to say all looks good!!!

I lost out on one of his items earlier this year because my snipe didn't register....it said seller had me blocked. That was odd to me since I had never done a deal with him at all...the further I checked into it I found that jonsstats blocks everyone automatically whose paypal account is not connected to their ebay account..all I had to do was click on a few links and I was "connected"...I never knew that I wasn't "connected", but..anyway I'm "connected" now.

I think.

Dan,
It always pays to be connected!!!

Just as a follow-up to a problem that I had with SC Gaynor and because of this thread I was able to solve a long standing problem. Scott contacted me right away and I was able to send the item in question back for a FULL refund. Once I contacted Scott the situation was worked out in a matter of days. Scott and his partner Andrew handled it in very professionally. It goes to show that these 2 men will take great care to resolve an issue. In a day of bad dealings with auction houses here is one that is willing to back up a buyer if they had a problem. Scott and Andrew I want to say thankyou and you now have a customer that will be back buying from you again in the future. Regards Al S.

i have had a only very positive experiences with scott, and when there has been a misunderstanding he has always done the right thing. Very strongly recommend him.

1) HYEE_AUCTIONS
I have bought items both VERY reasonably and paid a premium. I don't mind paying the premium as I know the items are legit and they back them. Also, the items where I have paid a premium on, the second bidder was a high end photo collector as well(I can tell by the two letter code and feedback-no shill).
I am a photo guy. Photos, in particular, in most other auction houses are presented in such a way that you cannot tell if they are originals(type 1s). They seem to "cover" themselves either way. HYEE does not hide anything and does wonderful research on all his items(i.e. shows companion pieces, points out obscure facts and describes each item with creativity based on these facts).
Whether I bid on an item or not, I ALWAYS learn from his auctions. This in itself is of value..and it's free.
PLUS..there is no buyer's premium...I love that...let ME decide if I am going to go up another 15-20%.
All I know is that I cannot wait until the next HYEE auction goes live just as the last one ends as I ALWAYS find something to add to my collection.
2) BE COLLECTIBLES
Quality quality stuff....
3) jerryjersey
I Like that he discloses his reserve when asked and has good product.
