Anyone here ever deal with "shaderise" or "Lawrence Stafford" on eBay?

schr1st

I was just checking out some of the auctions he/they have on eBay, and there is something about their design that just seems a bit "familiar" if you know what I mean <cough California cough>. Anyone ever deal with him/them? Do I have a reason to be concerned?

1700+ feedback, 100%? seems legit to me.

if you're talking about WIWAG, they just use the same auction software/format. no need to be concerned

That's what I was concerend about. The layout, description, and all the rest reminded me of them and the people that they are alleged to be selling through again on eBay. I was thinking about buying this Marichal to crack and have signed at the National, but my own paranoia got the better of me. D'oh!

cardmrchnt6ta4 uses a very similar (albeit reversed) format, and i know he's legit.

Great job grabing that 1951 Bowman Campanella autograph.

I'm working on an autographed HOF type set and need a 51 Bowman. I just couldn't pull the trigger.

Enjoy the card.

Cardmrchnt is the ID that has been alleged to be selling cards for the WIWAG guys, and was the other ID I was refering to in my original reply.

I've bought one card from him advertised and delivered as mint.

Quick opinion gave it the thumbs up, and I'm usually pretty comfortable with their auctions. I was afraid my snipe wouldn't make it in time, as my confirm screen hung for a while after making the bid. Glad it did!

I have bought from both cardmcrht6ta4 and shaderise do I need to be concerned that I have wiwag cards?

schr1st

Probably not, as they are selling cards in new PSA holders. Just check the holders over (sadly, I do that with all of my cards now) and you should be fine. My concern is that I don't want to be giving any money to those criminals, and was concerned by the similarities I was seeing in the auctions (down to registering domain names for websites that are only used for image hosting).

shaderise

One of my customers was nice enough to drop me an email regarding this post.

There is no need to feel uneasy about my auctions. I assure you that I am in no way affiliated with wiwag or anyone else.

“Shaderise”


P.S. schr1st- You should have bid on the Marichal card, it would have made great auto material and was so close to an "8" it wasn't funny.

schr1st

Sorry for having to ask around Lawrence, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for posting and welcome to the boards!

I would have to give "shaderise" my highest recommendation. I have completed several excellent transactions with him, although they were all raw cards. If anything, he understates their condition.

Ok, I've gotta claim stupidity.

What does WIWAG stand for?
