Ebay Seller Jeddrinkwine

[4815162342]

There was a guy at the National last year who flew off the handle when I asked to look through a stack of SLers in midgrade PSA holders. I wonder if that was the same guy?

An excerpt from a thread called "Where are these?" about some 1910 W-unc I replied to on 02/13/2011.... THE SELLER I kept anonymous, well... now you know the rest of the story

"I met the 'individual' that won the Carrigan for $411 or whatever at a show recently... he did indeed put in on EBAY for auction and it sold to someone with over 16000 feedback score, YET, as of this past weekend, he still possesses that very card. Sticker on it is over $800. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm. Out of only 4 bidders, I was one of the 'losing' bidders, and I don't think anyone was gonna win unless it hit a certain unlisted 'reserve', lets say. Funny, small world"

In other words.... he won the Carrigan, tried to sell it, appears to have had someone win it for him, so he would not take a loss, then showed up still owning the card at a show wanting an exorbitant, insane price.... again, small world, as I don't go to card shows, what a rare encounter

Gee- I thought I was a tough customer to deal with, but he's making me look like a saint. Jed has bought from me on e-bay over the years & pays high on cards he really wants. He knows as a dealer, you make your money by buying, not selling. If you think your buying a card for too much money, then don't buy it. Unless its extremely rare, another one will come around. As far as e-bay fees, if he has an e-bay store, the fees are less, instead of paying the flat rate price of 12%. Being a dealer in this business, you have to have patience with buyers on prices. Everybody wants a bargain. Do your best to keep your customers, not lose them.

Maybe he really is Ray Finkle. Ya'll are doing nothing to dispel this notion of mine!

This thread "almost" makes me want to send an offer with a request for a back scan just to see what type of response I receive.

[npa589]

Do it!

Then, ask for a side scan.

After that, ask for a corner scan.


Finally, ask that he take a picture of himself holding the card in a pose you specify, just so you know he actually owns the card.

Maybe thirty for forty of us should send him a message to "please add me to your blocked bidder list". That will get him thinking.

Lulz.

You cracked me up with this!

Poor Jed, having to answer all these questions from folks wanting to buy some cards from him. Feel so bad for him. So bad.

especially with SGC, it important to see the back of the card since they dont designate paper loss or markings...

a SGC 10 or 20 can easily be a PSA Authentic if there is a lot of paper loss...very important to see the back IMO, especially for rarer cards...

guys a jerk, move one to another dealer...

you nailed it!!

Is this the PSA Boards ??

I do agree that it is bad business to not provide back scans. I would however be devil's advocate in saying that he has the right to list a "BIN" for whatever he wants and if there is no "best offer" option than I could understand how a dealer might be annoyed with em's asking for lower prices, especially on a lower $ card.

Likewise, customers quoting past sales vcp etc. would not endear me to that buyer as I'm sure he is aware of those #'s and has chosen to try and sell it for a higher $. Especially with cards these days, many of these dealers need to "buy low, sell high" to make any kind of profit. If they tried to sell everything at " vcp avg." many of them wouldn't make it for long haul.

As stated, I met the guy in person and he was friendly enough--I can see how online it might be more tempting to tell people to "eff off" although this is not really a good idea.

You do make good points, and I think all of the sellers feel that way, but we need buyers to meet the prerequisites of being considered a seller.

If this guy keeps it up, he'll be a poster - not a seller.

I'm sorry, but once this remark was made to another board member, "He called me a retard. And then said he made my mom walk funny last night" all bets were off in my opinion. Call me a retard, I can take it, but placing ones mother into the conversation warrants any bad remarks this seller receives. No class whatsoever, I don't care how kind he was in person..........
