    Time to take a vacation to sunny Florida.
  • Is it true they offered you a refund upon return? If so a neutral may have been uncalled for. If they made an attempt to fix it then why leave them a neutral?

    Two VERY experienced EBAYers.

    Odd that the problem could not be solved easily.

    The description does not say "cards are in EX+ condition" to me. I think the bidder over reacted and likely over reacted on the phone.

  • I really starting to get annoyed with the big time dealers and the hyped card conditions


    Here are some examples

    I bought a 1974 topps bskb complete set from your beloved bbcexchange
    it was touted as nm-mt+...it really was ex-mt...retured

    I bought a 1970 topps Bsks card lot from wheatstatecards..he said solid mid-grade
    it really was a poor low grade lot....returned

    kityoungcards --- totally overhyped...I've returned many

    jhusle1 out of NY....bought complete sets with missing cards

    Primary baseballcard dealers are lying sacks of #$@%


    FU --phil
  • I actually put this guy on my blacklist a couple of years ago. Had a similar experience ...... without the phone call though.
  • You want more...

    I bought a 1978 topps bskb vending box....not disclosed that it had water damage on the bottom

    Bought a "complete 1980 set"...it was missing 20 cards...


    WHEN DID EX-MT BECOME VG-EX....

    Please someone tell me?

    That's a rhetorical question.

  • I have a recommendation. If you are tired of buying overgraded "RAW" cards from dealers, then why not buy them graded? It would probably make you much happier w/ the results.

    Fake soft drink bottlers arrested

    LAHORE: The city district government’s food squad on Wednesday seized large quantities of fake soft drinks and arrested two men.

    The team, led by Munir Ahmad, Food DDO, raided a factory in Jallo Pind, and caught the factory owner Tariq Mahmood red-handed while he was bottling fake drinks. The bottles bore labels of prominent companies. The officials recovered 1,500 bottles, a filling machine and 1,200 litres of sub-standard drink from the factory. staff report


    XXXXXXXXXXXXXX


    PAKPATTAN, Oct 02, 2007 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) --

    The sale of fake soft drinks is on rise without any check from the local administration in Ramazan-ul-Mubarak. The fake and substandard soft drinks packed and filled in international brands are being sold.

    During a survey, it was found that near 80 percent stores and shops are selling these fake and substandard soft drinks. These drinks contain some harmful chemicals, colours and flavours. The water they used in them was also not treated, while there is no such method to preserve these drinks from harmful effects. Some shopkeepers said that the salesmen of these drinks gave us more profit than original ones. On the other hand the children and other people are suffering from diseases after using these harmful drinks in Ramazan.

    And what are you supposed to do if you primarily are into complete sets and the most consistent NRMT or better set possible? Even the cheapest sets are easily worth several hundred to thousands of dollars if you get all the cards graded, so that option is pretty much not practical.
