Anyone see or hear from sfmays24 lately?

nam812 · September 11, 2009 1:47PM

I was hoping he was going to tell his side of the story about some of the claims made against him in the thread he started about collecting with his family. It seems like he hasn't posted much (or at all) since. It would have been nice to hear both sides.

csmtampa · September 11, 2009 1:56PM

Maybe he just wants to avoid all the drama

heritage · September 11, 2009 2:01PM

He posted on a thread sept 6th at least.

mikelowell25 · September 11, 2009 2:05PM

i sent him a pm almost two weeks ago complimenting him on his kids and asking him about his 59 fleer ted williams wrapper and havent heard back from him.....

lsutigers1973 · September 11, 2009 2:18PM

How about the 4 (maybe more) forum users he filed a Paypal claim against stating he never received his cards even though each of the 4 had proof of delivery? How about the $500 set he bought on another forum and did the same thing?

SidePocket · September 11, 2009 2:22PM

I think this one gets ugly, too bad, I thought he was a good guy.

Ouch..... Now that is messed up. How did they get claims filed with the proof of delivery? My guess is they thought he was a good guy and then he pulled a fast one?

I am a member of about 5 different boards, and hate when someone takes advantage of someone else.

Drives me crazy.

WinPitcher · September 11, 2009 10:42PM

Actually the 500.00 set was never bought, it was sent on approval and somehow never made it to the recipient.

Is this the moron who used his "boys" as a prop to get free cards? That don't go down well in the barrio, bros.

Brick · September 11, 2009 11:33PM

What does "sent on approval" mean?

If it means receive the cards, look them over, then either send the cash or the cards back, that may not be a good idea for the seller. It may be ok if you have a relationship with the buyer and are confident in his/her integrity.

Really Fandango? WOW! There appeared to be pretty good evidence that Mays is a crook. If this thread were about Albert Pujols rookie cards your input would be appreciated. However, in this thread you are off base and apparently just trying to start a rift with the above named guys... and then you will go and say how everybody teams up on you. What a troll... and a tool!

Back to the POINT of the thread, I too am curious? I assume Mays will just go away due to all the evidence. I hope he doesn't even come back with an alt.

Be careful John

as Fandango will send you one of his Buzz Lightyear style "Death Bams " via Pm.

The last few PM's he has sent me , caused a nervous reaction as my leg began to shake subconciously , and my boot fell off.

You know the other day , I was listening to the AM devise in my vehicle , and a Peta Rep stated , with their rant against McDonalds , that a chicken was as smart as a dog. The world has many "intelligent " people out there.

My conclusion , is the same that is stated on "despair.com=== check it out , --- " Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up ".

They have another poster there on that website "despair.com" that may be a tad closer to the truth in this regard--- " It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others ."

Deep thoughts here, sorry.---- Sonny

P.S.--- Remember watchout for his Buzz lightyear style death-bams . Your boots may fall off.

My bad. End result was still the same. He claimed he never received it even though proof of delivery was provided.

The net result was still achieved , Free or near free cards , "For the children ".

He really seemed like a legit member , even though most of his posts centered on some form of subsidy card collecting . If this is some type of gig , I hope its up.

It would be great , if all could be made right here , but it doesn't look good.

No...

never did it before...if Brick is right? Is it common practice for the $ amount?

WinPitcher · September 12, 2009 3:31AM

Swartzie

No the dollar amount in that transaction was too much by my standards but not for the sender.

Some coin guys will send a coin worth 1000's to a customer. If the customer likes it he pays, if he does not he simply returns it.

Of course the buyer either has outstanding refs or has done business with the seller before.

In the case we are discussing the seller is a great guy who sends out stuff for free if you need it and in this case trusted the buyer.

IMO the buyer had too many lost in the mails for my liking.

In 7 years of ebay selling I had 0ne item lost that I sent, and one that I bought.

I also sent someone a freebie that got lost.

In the past 10 years Ive had one situation where my bills got lost. The PO sent me a letter informing me.

It just does not happen that often.

Ah yes, the Buzz lightyear style death-bams I got a few of those from him myself, to be quite honest I'm still recovering.

for what it is worth.. I have sent him freebie's and I also traded with him once with no issue..

Well I can tell you I boxed up about 400 2001 and 2002 Topps Heritage baseball cards and sent them to SFMays so he and his boys could start this set. Some sp's, some minor stars...basically one of everything I had a double of. He claimed they were never received and I felt terrible that they never arrived even though I had information to prove the opposite. I just chalked it up to the post office screwing up and had intended to send him more as soon as I uncover where I put my heritage cards. Dont think I will be doing that anytime soon. If he did indeed receive these cards I am pretty upset that he said they never arrived. I am not sure why he would lie though. Although in conversations with Bill, looks like I am not the only one singing this song!!

I did save all my pm's with him in case I needed to refer back to them for any reason. Glad I did!!

nam812 · September 12, 2009 6:57AM

It seems that in this thread sfmays24 is claiming he didnt receive a package from a board member that he paid $50 for (although it showed as delivered), and then goes on to say that because of it his kids are being cheated out of a Christmas present.

hammered · September 12, 2009 7:20AM

I've had over 4000 ebay transactions and just ONCE did my item not arrive @ destination (a 77 Steve Carlton)
And even then, I think the buyer was blowing smoke up my a**

larryallen73 · September 12, 2009 7:22AM

I agree... "signature confirmation etc. + insurance" ...is a must!

I did not receive a package from a fellow board member that was sent with delivery confirmation... it apparently was delivered to the wrong address (I'm out over $50) and my kids cheated out of a Christmas present. Delivery confirmation shows it was delivered to a city, not an address... no proof of delivery to us, as I observed it was not on the day it indicates.

PM if you want more details before shipping.

Mike

Thanks for the link Nam. You know this kind of repeat behavior can only mean one thing... it must mean he has an awful postman in his neighborhood!

Just kidding. If that was the case I am sure Mays would have come on here to talk about how bad the postman is in his neighborhood but he has not come on to defend himself. I wonder why.

WinPitcher · September 12, 2009 7:28AM

Yup.

And/Or some serial mail thieves in the neighborhood.

......

Each day, folks go to jail on circumstantial evidence.
I never have liked that part of the system.

........

I am missing the motive for lying about receipt when
the items are either "free," OR when there is "proof"
of delivery.

I don't see how such lies would advance a scam.

.......

I dunno.

WinPitcher · September 12, 2009 7:57AM

Storm one item was valued at 500.00 another was a 25.00 deal.

The free items all seemed to have gotten to the addressee.

Steve

eyebone · September 12, 2009 11:48AM

I know alot has been written about Mike and his sons recently, and I am sorry that several board members have had troubles.

However, in the interest of fairness I feel I should let members that my one and only transaction with Mike went well. He bought a Bob Knepper bat off me and while it took a bit longer to arrive than we would both have liked he paid quickly, was a polite and intelligent communicator and let me know when he finally received it.

nam812 · September 12, 2009 12:03PM

You would think that the guy would want to say something on his own behalf.

Just to be clear I am in no way trying to defend him (I don't know enough about what transpired with others to do that). Just saying that my transaction went fine. He seemed like a nice guy too.

mrmint23 · September 13, 2009 3:55AM

He was a crook. Although it was a small amount of money 25.00, I paid for a SMR and some low grade 78's Murray and Molitor. He didnt insure the package so I filed a Paypal claim and won but he closed his account and didnt pay me. It seems he uses the Post Office excuse as his way out.

Kirk

Pigs · September 13, 2009 4:17AM

He PMd me after seeing some '74 cards I posted on raw card Saturday and had a short list he needed. I had extras and gave them to him. He and "his kids" thanked me by PM and a post that thanked others as well. He seemed OK and I guess I was sold on his kids being involved in the hobby, but now I'm not so sure. Would also like to hear his response to all of this.

nam812 · September 13, 2009 4:43AM

<< .........Would also like to hear his response to all of this. >>

That doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

He had a heck of a run from 2003 to now where he filled in lots of his sets (probably to sell on eBay). I'm sure no one kept track of his lists, so who knows how many sets "Mike and the boys" made in 6 years here.

Ironmanfan · September 13, 2009 5:58AM

FWIW, he's had a less than stellar reputation on another hobby board I frequent as well

Not for nothing but why is all this coming out after Bill outed him?If everyone spoke up earlier some people wouldn't have been taken by him.

Anyone see or hear from sfmays24 lately?
