Ebay Seller Jeddrinkwine

[Shoeless Moe]

I had to test him.

So I sent an offer about $300 below one of his $900 Buy It Nows.

He called me a retard. And then said he made my mom walk funny last night.

I encourage any and all to ask him a question or send an offer. He's nuts, but I love it.

As long as you don't ask any questions, or mind paying top dollar for card without seeing the back, or if in an auction bidding against him on his own cards he seems to be a great person to deal with. And I can totally see why he is so upset with all the fees as it has to get frustrating paying those on your own cards.

I saw pictures on a lot of the cards on the backs, and for some, he mentioned what was wrong w the card to merit grade. I didnt want to offer him a low BIN, in case he was gonna accept it.

I have bought and sold to jed over the last few years, I have found that he will pay more than most , and has a knowledge beyound his years, I hate to see him get bashed on this web site, i have been told before by people on this website that it is rude to ask for a back scan, and why would you offer $300 for a $900 buy it now,most people would be offended by that, much less these offers of $1, to me that is kind of bad in itself

I think he said that he offered $300 less than the BIN of $900. So we're actually looking at a offer of $600. Nothing wrong with that..

Anyways, I kinda agree with you a little. While the seller's attitude is kinda rough around the edges, we really shouldn't be tearing into him the way that we are. While sharing true experiences with this seller is fine, CREATING new out of the norm experiences just to see how far the guy will go in his response is a little too much. I will admit that I've kind of enjoyed some of the responses so far though..

BTW, if you're spending your money on a card, it's NEVER rude to ask for a back scan.. The guy knows people ask for them, and is obviously annoyed by people asking for them. What should his solution be? Huh, how about providing one in the first place, so that people won't ask you for one? It's sure a better option than tearing into people for doing what you knew they were going to do all along. Also, I've never once read a seller's ME page, and I'm sure I'm not alone, so any disclaimer posted there is virtually worthless.

Provide a back scan! Problem solved! What is it? An extra .10 cents? The seller brings it on himself by not providing a back scan....escpecially on a somewhat expensive card.

[Gradedcardman]

Offer was $50 with a buy it now of $150. I have done business with both guys and will again.

Because some collectors have no dignity.

Wow. Welcome to the board.

[Brendan]

Next time orrules, I suggest you don't bring a thread back from the dead in a negative manner.

I don't think this is Jed Drinkwine...according to ebay that guy is in South Carolina...the IP address on Orrrules is Denver, CO.

You will also need to post your name if you want to be so opinionated. Pretty sure thats the rule here.

Correct.

Unless he is well known on the board (and he isn't) he will need to put his name in his post, as I emailed him right after he posted...Either that or edit the comments out....regards

[U240robert]

On my experiences on ebay, back scans were pretty common to me on valuable cards, whether the card was graded or not.
If the dealer is a jerk then move on.
There's not a thing he's selling that you can't get from
someone else. Over time he'll learn or be out of business and frustrated.

A few dealers I've met over the years are very arrogant.
Never ceases to amaze me when I see a dealer that acts like
his creased VG- minus 1972 Topps cards are made of gold
and then they wonder why the dealer next to him has so many repeat customers
while he struggles just to make dealer fee sales.
Customer service is not a mystery.

Nice one, Paul--I couldn't stop laughing for at least a minute! What a great thread!

[Blunder19]

Just catching up on all this now... fell off my chair as I read a couple of these posts..

not sure why this guy hates dealing with questions.. good to know others had similar stories..

here I was thinking the guy just hated blunder19 .. turns out he just hates anyone who wants to haggle or see back scans and I'm usually guilty of needing both before a large purchase.. oh well no soup for me

[npa589]

lol, i'm loving this.

I looked back and found some of my correspondence with him:

....
ME:
can I get a scan of the back?

Also, if you're looking to start anew with some sales, let me know the prices of your Cubs T206 cards off e-bay.

Thank you for the quick response,

PERSON RESPONDING TO ME (the Seller):

No back scan. They cards are in inventory in my office and I do not have a scanner at my office. Would be a 45 min round trip just to send a scan and then all my profit is gone in gas.

Jeddrinkwine

Me Responding Again:

That I understand. Stupid gas prices.

If there is paper missing from the back, or a mark on the back - then my offer would be much lower - in the range of 30-35 depending how bad the back is. On the Tinker 'bat on' that I got for 35, I really could have offered him lower. There is no limit to how low a Poor can be graded with the card being entirely intact.

When do you go back to your office? Are you off this week?

SELLERS FINAL RESPONSE:

Read my Ebay "Me" page.
We are done here.
Good luck.
