Wheretheyaint - any experiences

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?

After seeing the card, I was thinking the exact same thing Tony!

Looks like they are spamming the registry now. Just got this email:

Hi,

I came across your set on the Registry! It is very impressive!

I am currently selling some cards that would help upgrade/complete your set. Might you be interested?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Ben

I responded that I would see what he had, but then it sounded too generic. Came here on the boards and found this old thread. May have saved me, dont really know....I do know that Im not taking a chance.

I got the same email a few days ago - I'm not opposed to getting an email from someone about a specific need I have, but I got a couple of very spam-like emails from them with various sets of mine in the subject lines. They all got deleted immediately.
