White Plains Show (Best Dealer Nominee)
Posted By: T206Collector
I went to the White Plains show yesterday (last day is today, Sunday) and had a transaction with "Chet D." that was the best transaction with a dealer I have ever had. I needed the T206 Cy Young for my set and he had one for $300. I told him that I wanted to spend under $200 for it. He said he could do $200, but not less than $200 -- a strong offer to be sure -- but still I did not want to pay $200. So, I picked out a number of other T206 cards, the price tag value of which was about $600 (including the Cobb) and was prepared to pick one or two $15 cards out of the lot and offer $200 for the Young and those cards when he said that I should just take the pile, pay him $200 at the show, and pay him another $200 when I see him next time. As I was doing the math in my head, stopped me to tell me what I was coming to the realization of: this was a terrific deal. So, I walked out of the show with about $600 in T206 cards, but I only had to leave $200 short. The next White Plains show isn't until January, which gives me an interest free loan of $200 for two months, but what struck me most was his trust in me to show up without knowing my name or where to reach me with another $200 in a couple of months; putting aside the fact that his original asking price on the lot of cards I selected was, again, about $600. So.... |

Chet and I have been friends for several years and it is nice to see others realizing what a stand up guy he is. Chet always has fresh material, is very knowledgeable, and offers fair deals.-Jon |

Chet RULES!!!! He has helped me out so many times!!! I was at the Boston show and i was buying some beater Cubby T206's from him. He and i went through all of his T206's and pulled out all the cubs. Then i sorted them by player, pose, etc... i picked out three that were sixty. I asked him if he'd do $55. He said NO! He would do fifty though! What an awesome guy. Made the other transaction i did there seem a little bit easier to swallow! Speaking of Chet...does he ever check his email? If not could someone shoot me his phone number. I owe him a big thanks. |
