    Oh I get it...everytime a positive is left for nedd I'll come here and post it to prove to you guys that he is legit. i'll also leave stupid dancing smiley faces and gloat (like I am right) First off I never claimed he was. all along i have wanted to simply wait and see how it all pans out. hence my 2 other sentences regarding how a hi feedback left pos and how this thing keeps getting better and better.
    it seems certain people on this bd only want to read and interpret what they think others say. Yes It is a suspect acct especially since it was also left a neg for not communicating the problem. All along ebayers with private, and low feedback have been the ones leaving negatives. I find that odd.

    Just what purpose would anyone have to post negative feedback about a $477 wax pack? Does it matter if someone has 7 feedbacks or 700 feedbacks?

    This collector laid out his $ 477 and claimed he was ripped-off with a bougus pack, thus a "negative feedback to nedsk".

    Is there a group of individuals that go around and post negative feedback together, like cyber-vigilantes? To go after questionable sellers on ebay, like nedsk? It just does not make any sense.

    But if that's what is going on, why?

    That has been the question way before you showed up.

    why pray tell do only low feedback ebayers leave these negs? why do those with feedbacks in the hundreds leave positives? why does a guy ouit to save the hobby leave positives?

    so many questions?

    , a poster here claimed he spoke with ned on the phone. look for highend's post. the guy got a rather large collection in and was moving it. some good stuff some bad. It has always been my opinion that the guy was doin just that. he wasnt some orgainised crime guy with a po box in Pa like some claimed. he wasnt out to hit a big 100k scam after being on ebay for 5 yrs building up positve feedback with dollar buys etc He did in fact sell some really good items cracker jacks, coins etc and yes even some unopened packs and boxes. did he sell opened stuff as unopened SURE LOOKS THAT WAY. I just wanted to see it all play out before i made a final decsision if he was a crook or not. Not like some who on the basis of an email from a stranger. is that so hard to believe?
    esited to add I should have used the word "you" not some in my last sentence RB..........now can we play nice?

    maybe he sells both good and bad material?

    Which is what I think is going on.

    Remember the reason I posted on this nedsk subject to begin with was that I was sent an ebay message from an ebayer with good feedback, that risked ebay sanctions by emailing bidders who where bidding on "wax" from nedsk.

    I even emailed him again, and apparently, he is not afraid of any trouble with ebay, becuase it seems that nedsk, did not confront him.

    When one "runs and hides", maybe he does have something to hide? I stopped payment, and he did nothing to me? The "ebay messenger" who contacted me, seemed to email "his @-s-s off" to everyone else that was buying or bidding on wax from nedsk. The question is why didn't nedsk go after him? Someone who was "not guilty", one would think would defend his reputation?

    Looks like he stuck his head in the sand?

    I cannot speak for others who posted negative feedback, or who claimed "they got ripped-off". I have no reason whtsoever not to believe the very kind individual that emailed me about nedsk, telling me I'm going to get ripped-off and not to complete the transaction!

    Here is an $ 1,100 toast to you! image

    rbd,

    I want to make it clear that I only "responded" to e-mails "sent to me" asking how my transaction went with nedsk. I dont' believe that would be considered breaking ebay rules? Bottom line is this seller upon being called on a re-sealed box situation did nothing to remedy the situation! In fact, threw it back in my face and said I didn't know unopened material and that I was trying to ruin his "good reputation"? Never did he ask me to send him any packs back to verify if I was stating the truth? Never offered to refund my money if I was telling the truth? Then when I had two experts view the packs and confirm that in "fact" they were re-sealed packs, did he offer up the refund? NO! No communication to make things right! This is the very essence of what is wrong with this seller! Who cares if he sold a bunch of coins and other material others liked? What's so amazing about that? He had a 1500 positive feedback rating for goodness sake!

    He scammed a few people and that's suppose to be O.K.? People want to wait it out to make their final decsion? Guess what.....I don't care how long anyone wants to wait it out to determine if this seller is "legit"? I know first hand that the guy gave me a raw deal.....he's given others raw deals and he's demonstrated poor ethical business practices and shown that he is a very dishonest person to deal with in my opinion! I'm sure the poeple that felt they had a good transaction with the seller feel differently. This is perhaps not a total all out scamming seller, but when you have done someone wrong .....you offer a refund if the complaint is legit. Now that's the "legit" everyone should be looking for! Scamming someone for those kind of dollars even once is unacceptable!

    And I thought the bickering was over image

    Since you think that wanting to have all the facts in b4 a decision is made is weired, I don't have the luxuary of knowing first hand*(like you) he has replied to your neg. You can agree that their are always 2 sides to every story? All I can go on is . just what i see and read on a ,message bd. now can you possibly see in what light my remarks regarding wanting to see how it played out can be taken? i simply want all the facts b4 I hang this guy. so far it has been back and forth back and forth etc so on.

    Mini, I too had email correspondence with nedsk. I emailed nedsk as soon as I received an unsolicated email/ebay message from a fellow ebayer. I explained to nedsk, "that I received an email stating that if I purchase your '75 wax, I would be ripped-off 100%! I told nedsk that I could not afford to take a chance, and I would be stopping payment on my $1100 check". I further explained that I would be happy to pay for all lost ebay fees and re-listing fees and if his '75 wax WAS on the "up and up" he would have little problem selling a 1975 Topps Mini Wax Box to another.

    Mini, nedsk stated, that the ebayer who emailed me, was just getting back at him for overpaying on a wax box (Which i thought was a strange thing to say). His email to me was pretty cold! He got on my case for wanting to stop payment and threatened me, if I did not complete my contract with him, and did stop payment, he would take action against me, further stating he would not allow me or others "to ruin his reputation" (mini, that sounds alot like the email you got!). My email to nedsk was thoughtful and friendly (as I offered to reimburse him for all his listing fees, etc.). But his email to me was not, as he stated he would take action against me! (but he didn't)...

    All I can say mini, is I'm glad I was able to "cut the cord" and in my mind, not "throw away" $1100.

    Why are some posters here questioning your honesty? Questioning your ability to notice a "repack", questioning you sending some packs to a third party, and overall, just questioning your integrity. Questioning the thruthfullness and the ability of your "third party", and more! That all sucks! I for one, Iam quite sure you did get 'ripped", and I for one support you 100%!

    Oh, by the way, someone (i.e., a coin collector with over 266 feedbacks) gave nedsk a "neutral feedback" on July 8th:

    "......Received 3 rolls Bu one roll "junk silver" mixed dates- stickers on many coins Buyer borabora1 ( 266) Jul-08-05 16:55......"

    No one has questioned mini's honesty. where you get that I have no idea. are you reading into things that just are not there? Speaking only for myself all i wanted to ever see is how it all played out. NO more no less. You have to agree that it has been very weired.

    My comment about "2 sides to every story" was not to imply that Mini is dishonest. .
    it was simply to show the reasons I have been keeping an open mind.

    If i have implied that mini is dishonest it was not my intent


    now I hope for the umpteeenth time that this is finally put to rest.

    I can not take credit for the "That's all folks". Not to make light of your situation MiniMaster. Just curious though, where is your situation at with the items you bought. I tried to skim over the posts was wondering if there is anything that is being done or has been done to rectify the issue.

    The Never-Ending Story (which was a pretty bad movie) ....

    Let's just buy a pack from him, one of us who has a newbie ID in case he saves his good stuff for experienced buyers and known dealers. If the pack is either falling open or glued too firmly, and has 5 commons in VG condition like that other guy said, that would seem to settle it. Unless I'm totally uninformed, Topps' quality control was never so bad that every card came out of the pack in VG condition.

    I'm in for $10.

    A follow-up on an ebayer, turtleguy65 (aka: David) who stated in his feedback "something is wrong with nedsk's '80s wax boxes". I emailed him (David), to ask his opinion and imput on nedsk. I explained there is an ongoing discussion on the PSA community message board (with over 370 postings about nedsk). I explained to David that some claimed to have been ripped-off from nedsk, buying '75 Topps Mini Wax Boxes and others claiming they "got taken" buying '50s wax.

    He replied to my email (see below).

    tuttleguy65 (David) has 100% feedback and buys and sells lots of quality vintage material.

    His short email reply to me was as follows: "I will most certainly do so. Thanks for your interest. Why isn't this guy off ebay? David"

    P.S. I will, of course post any eMails I receive from David (aka: turtleguy65)
  • rbdjr1rbdjr1 Posts: 4,474 ✭✭

    Well, check this most recent feedback! I buyer wanted to set-up and arrange a cash payment to nedsk for $6100. This buyer won a 1986 Fleer basketball wax box (i.e., Jordan RCs, etc.).

    4 weeks later and nedsk has not returned a phone call to the buyer (buyer: who has over 9,600 positive feedacks by the way!) so he gave nedsk the olde "negative feedback".

    Collecting concepts wanted to arrange a p/u and pay with cash. Ned though would rather do it by mail, that way he can use his all sales are final BS. Thus not allowing Collecting concepts any recourse.

    ned is beginning to stink badly.

    Good for you.
  • MiniMasterMiniMaster Posts: 505 ✭✭
    It could also be that Ned is afraid that a personal cash transaction could lead to an arrest if he's trying to selling reseals to this guy. Buyer could have an undercover police officer with him and once the packs are reviewed in person and Ned accepts the full price he could then be arrested on the spot for fraud or other similar charges? Seems very suspect that he would be ignoring a payout of cash in that amount? I believe that was the highest or one of the highest priced items he had up for auction?

    Kudo's to the buyer for putting the ball in Ned's court! I'll have to remember that one image
  • rbdjr1rbdjr1 Posts: 4,474 ✭✭
    Did I read in an earlier post that somebody picked up their material from nedsk in person, claimed he was easy to deal with, or something like that? I would also think nedsk would jump at the chance to to get $6,100 from a "solid legit buyer" with great feedback.

    Unless his $6,100 box ~~~ "more repackaged junk"?

    Mini I doubt that he would be arrested as he could claim that this is the way he got it himself. And the police would claim it is a civil matter between ned and collecting concepts. actually ned by use of the mails could get into trouble that way. as long as the postal authority takes the case.

    Jay. ned was willing to accept the final auction price. he just didnt want to allow a P/U for this item it seems. For obvious reasons. Collecting concepts could have seen the item in person and tell ned to GTH

    lastly Bob ..yes a longtime poster here had a friend p/u a 1200 cracker jack card. I guess it had no problems, so ned had none.

    the 86 wax In my opinion was prolly opened and searched for jordans etc and resealed years ago.

    If you read neds reply to collecting concepts he claims that they (collecting concepts) should buy like everyone else.......

    whatever that means......

    I would have no problem alowing someone to hand me 6k for a box I bought back in 86 for 12.00...........
    Good for you.
  • jayhawkejayhawke Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭
    Going to have to believe a guy with over 6,000 positive feedbacks. Of course, Ned didn't want someone to pick up a box and examine it, that might expose him. A graded card is a different matter, nothing to hide or be worried about.
  • SoFLPhillyFanSoFLPhillyFan Posts: 3,931 ✭✭
    Actually collectingconcepts is not the most reputable dealer.

    They used to sell mostly GEM cards and I made the mistake of doing business with them a few years ago when I was not as well informed.

    The cards were clearly over graded and I sent them back. They sent me another batch that was only slightly better. After sending those back they admitted that they could not give me what I wanted, a true Gem Mint 10.

    They did refund my money, including shipping which was honorable.

    I see now that they are into the new SCD. The cards don't look too good.

    I agree - my point was that there was no reason not to close the deal. Either way - even if he lost money - he should honor the committment to sell.

    I too have dealt with Collecting concepts......got some mice psa 8 and 9 65 Topps cards

    deal went smooth.


    my take is simply that collecting concpts wanted to arrange a cash and carry deal. Ned wanted to ship it that way he would be in control.

    Ned is now a half crook in my opinion...lol give it a few more days. Ill fall right into line.

    Was wondering when someone was going to mock my thread about the undercover police guy......LOL. Of course this situation does not reach that depth of crime. That's what makes this activity so frustrating for the victims.......these theives know they have a high percentage chance of never having anything happen to them.....save a slap on the hand or some negative feedback. I would prefer eBay take a more aggressive stance as I've mentioned before. If a consumer/buyer can demonstrate that a seller sold an item not as described and the seller refused a refund then eBay needs to lay the hammer down on the seller and impose some sanctions! Come on eBay......help out the victims!

    That was my spur of the moment new title.

    Since it's Friday maybe we could see if we could find the best new name for this thread.

    Winner gets a 1973 Topps #175 Frank Robinson - it's OC but hey, what do you want for coming up with a goofy name. I am the original owner of the card.

    Winner judged by consensus of members on this thread.

    Contest ends at midnight Eastern time tonight.
