Props to A Price Gouger

[ezez420]

I wanted to give props to . I figured others should know what type of guy this person is. I inquired about a few cards on his site which has prices on them. Like the site says prices arent negotiable.

He sends me the pictures as I requested and I waited to proceed since he has no checkout. However, like a true scumbag in this hobby raises his prices by $800 once I was interested. It is a shame that the hobby is filled with these greedy people. Cheers!

Just a little markup...

Was just checking out his site:

Site Status –I have finally updated my web site, after more than a year of failing to do so. I have been actively buying and selling cards during that time, but I have changed my pricing policies and the updated web site now shows pricing that is significantly different than it was in the past. Please take a look.

This site was last updated 04/03/15.

Make sure you don't find a good deal because he won't let it happen.

I admit i bought a few cards from him and i paid much more than if they were at auctions with pwcc...however i didnt want to wait for a future auction.

many of the cards that he has for sale turned out to be already sold so the fact they he doesnt update the cards he has in inventory well may also mean he doesnt do a good job updating the prices......still looks bad either way i agree ..


he does do a 'bulk' or bigger money discount ..not many sites out there with such inventory...and all of the other sites i have seen with huge inventory also appear to have higher than ebay auction prices..except maybe 4sharpcorners that appear just to be high on the auction end range but still in the range

I've dealt with Larry Mayer many times and always found him very easy to deal with, although his prices were on the high side.

[ezez420]

Being on high side is one thing but jacking up your prices before a purchase is another. By $800 nonetheless on 2 cards is another. That is dishonest. Well he got some recognition.

Had you offered to buy before the increase, or asked if he would honor the original price afterwards?

A man can price his items at whatever he so desires. Sometimes it is just nice to display things.

Props to Larry Mayer for being a great customer and dealer.

Yeah they can but when there museum/display price is met they should honor it.

You are right Sean he can price them at whatever he wants. But this wasn't a simple pricing error on ebay. This was his personal website, discussions had started, scans were sent. I may not have all the information I need to form an opinion, but from what the OP has said it sounds bad.

Of course you feel that way

[ezez420]

Yup.

Sounds like a pretty classless move. Unless it's been months since anyone has been on his site and made an offer and he forgot to update any prices. Either way he does not sound like a seller I would want to deal with.

Site says it was last updated 4//3.15. He may mean 16.
