Introducing my new website

He's been on-line here for at least few years and is a straight-up contributor to the forum. I have done several deals with him on the BST and each time it was a cordial transaction. I even had the pleasure of meeting Tony in person a few weeks ago and found him to be a gentleman, mellow in demeanor, and certainly not some shifty-eyed card huckster. Why you have to come to Tony's "Grand Opening" thread and pee on his leg is a wonder to me.

All I do is get into "dust-ups" on the BST? This is my 2nd bad experience. The 1st time was with a seller who gave me a final price on an item with shipping (basically it was sold to me) only to email me a few minutes later to tell me it was no longer available....hmmm, wonder what happened there!

In this instance, the seller opens a new website....I go out of my way to take a look....then out of my way to register...then out of my way to indicate i'd like to buy a card. What do I get in response? The seller says hes holding it pending another forum member's decision. I have every right to be frustrated. Had Tony told me the card was already sold, oh well. But to tell me hes waiting on a reply from a POTENTIAL buyer seems unacceptable when im ready to send good funds. Certainly not the end of the world by any means, but a clear indication of poor business practice in my eyes. If that the way Tony wants to run his BST, im ok with that. But I wonder if he put the rest of the T206 cards on "hold" for me per my request. I need to decide if I want to buy any!

Hey Tony
Very nice site, I plan to check it out regularly.
Good luck,

Chicago,
You need to chill out. Somebody else committed to the card before you. Instead of blumbering around like a bull in a china shop on this website, since you are new here, why don't you just cool off and soak things in a bit. I have known Tony for several years and he is a fair, honest, and very kind hobby friend. You are completely out of line to whine because you noticed a card after it sold.

We obviously have differing defenitions of the word "commited". To me, that means "where do I send my payment", NOT "i'll get back to you when I decide if I want the card".

Tony,
Great looking site. Nice selection.

By the way, earlier in this thread, I asked Tony to put a "hold" on his entire inventory of T206's so I have time to decide which ones I want to buy. Do you think he will extend the same courtesy to me as he did with the other buyer?

Zing!!! That will teach him!

Tony that is a terrific site!

I bought what is still one of my favorite pieces from Tony -- he is top-notch with tremendous customer service.

To a person who e-mailed him before you. Darn that SHADY first come, first serve policy!
