i recently purchased a 1971 milk duds handcut card from mike wheat on ebay.
their auction ad said card was NM, it looked like it might fly for a psa grade for my johnny bench master set.
i receive card and it has a large stain on reverse (see scan) defitnitly not NM and forget psa grading.
i call and tell them whats up and they say sure send it back we`ll refund your purchase price.
heres the rift, i had to pay for shipping twice, once to get it , and once to send their card back.
i, of course, had to eat that cost. (around $8.00) i email them and ask them why with their knowledge of cards would they not notice
and list this stain in their auction ad, unless they knew listing the stain would ruin any chance at selling that card.
they were willing to take the chance that nobody would bother returning the card or if they did, they would pay for everything and they would get card back . they would not return my emails to explain this oversight.
expect to this item up for sale shortly.
IMO, thats a shady business practice , will not purchase anything from them in future. BE AWARE !

Now that sucks, sometimes he doesn't even offer a scan and makes you wonder should I risk it...hmmmm?

Good question! I doubt it but just give a few and..... Remember a bunch of months back when legitimate criticisms were voiced and Sandlot came out of no where...guns blazing!
So fasten your seat belt and.....

All came back PSA 8.
<< <i>half the time he lists stuff on canada's site as part of their free listing day. he's in america though. isn't that against ebay rules? >>
Yeah, now I know who he is. He also lists crap in "pounds" yet he's in America? That makes no sense.

I didn't mind the stain too much because I wasn't buying it with the intention of asking PSA to add it to the already supersized Bench master registry. I just thought it was a cool oddball Bench item. I don't know what you paid, but I paid $30 inc. shipping.
What do you think it would grade at with the stain? And are there Milk Duds cards without Milk Duds stains on them?
I see he has left hundreds of feedback for other buyers since then--but none for me. I shall not buy from him again unless he decides my immediate Paypal payment deserves at least one feedback (I won 4 auctions).
Different strokes for different folks-- I see some of you have other issues with him--but I wonder how many other repeat buyers he loses by the small things like feedback. I see he has lost many other buyers for other (more important) reasons.
Oh well-there are certainly many other vintage dealers on the bay. Good luck to all.
Maybe he is slack
Maybe he made a mistake
Maybe he is a paranoid seller
If any case, I will not bid again simply because of my "pet peeve" issue regarding the feedback.
