Wheretheyaint - any experiences

After looking through their website, it's seems to be a red flag to me that there is no business address or phone number to talk to someone. Contact by email only - seems strange.

Like the previous poster stated, the name fits the business.

Tim - how did you pay? Credit card, check or paypal?

I sent them an email regarding a 1955 Clemente they had listed. A month later they answered with an apology for the delay and indicated that they no longer had the item.

Gee. With the name of their business, you'd think that if they had any card in stock, it'd be a Keeler.

Seriously though, I hope this sordid affair gets unraveled in your favor.

I actually know the guys who run the show there and they are both honest people, and one of them is a very close friend of mine for over a decade. I can't speak to where the cards come from, but these are certainly not take the money and run types. I just left my friend a VM, and I am sure he will attend to this promptly.

I am under the impression that they sell cards at extremely high prices that they do not own, and once a card sells, they buy it alot cheaper from somewhere else (usually Ebay). All the cards that are listed at reasonable prices are already sold, and they just forgot to remove them. The cards that they "do" have, if you look on EBay, it is for sale via BIN alot cheaper. That is all.

Josh, I think everyone here will be interested to hear whether you receive any info from your friend. Please keep us updated.

With zero communication the card arrived yesterday. Here is a scan, the card presents beautifully. I still don't understand a large (for me) purchase with absolutly no communication, but the card is here and exactly what I paid for. 10 days isn't even horrible on delivery, but shoot a damn email or something.

By the way, thank you to all who added to this thread, this board has taught me numerous lessons about expanding my collection and this is another perfect example....

Tim,

Does the serial number on the card you received, match the serial number of the card that was pictured on their website that you purchased?

Would asking for a scan of the back of the cards reveal anything?

Paypal......

This is a very strange way of doing buisness. I guess I'm a bit unclear as to whether you actually recieve the card you bid on (or bought)-or do they just find any card matching the description and send it ?

At any rate, communication is always the key to a good deal IMO. And I guess actually owning the card you are selling would make the most sense?

I hope this deal works out for you, and you either get the correct card that you bought, or your money back.

Sincerely, Clayton
