Consigning with Probstein?

[becollie]

Any experiences here? Looking for consignment instructions and can't find anything online. Thanks

Been a bunch of posts on this.

Very little guidance on what to do. Some folks say he’s ok and easy to deal with, albeit with terrible communications. Others say never in a million years.

I have consigned with him in the past. I have created a list in Excel of the cards, grades, Cert # etc and included in the shipment. I also email him the Excel file listing the cards I have sent to him.

In the many cards I have consigned, only one took over a week for payment. The rest were paid within 2-3 days.

I consigned two graded cards with him. I used a 3x5 index card with my name address and phone number taped to the back. They were up for auction within a day or two of receipt. The communication is not good as I had to check the tracking number as to when they were received. I received a check about two weeks later with no explanation as the what the breakdown of sale prince and commissions etc were. Just a check in the mail. So, poor communication but I would not hesitate consigning again.
thanks,
Bob

Now that I see this post, I think I will get a few more things to send him.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies.

Sending about $5000 in T206s and must admit that is a bit nerve-wracking. Love the page views they get but what recourse do we really have if something goes awry. Hmmm.

Thanks again,

Brian

If you are worried, just send a few cards or maybe just $500 to $1,000 worth.
