ive never left a neutral to my recollection , it eithers a postitive, or negative, mostly from the many notorious non paying bidder fiends on ebay

Time to take a vacation to sunny Florida.

Leiascards · January 9, 2008 1:26PM

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?

Did you try sending him a message before giving him a call?

storm888 · January 9, 2008 1:29PM

Two VERY experienced EBAYers.

Odd that the problem could not be solved easily.

MeteoriteGuy · January 9, 2008 1:33PM

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.

Clear Skies,
Mark

VintageBasketballCard · January 9, 2008 1:38PM

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

oldhippie · January 9, 2008 1:38PM

I actually put this guy on my blacklist a couple of years ago. Had a similar experience ...... without the phone call though.

VintageBasketballCard · January 9, 2008 1:43PM

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.

gumbyfan · January 9, 2008 1:45PM

There's no need to sugarcoat. Tell us how you really feel.

BobaFett72 · January 9, 2008 2:02PM

"We told you to return them for a refund if you do not want them"

rube26105 · January 9, 2008 2:07PM

VintageBasketballCard · January 9, 2008 2:10PM

gemmintrarities · January 9, 2008 2:24PM

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.

OPEN YOUR EYES

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.

Don't buy any soft drinks on that next trip to Lahore & Pakpattan.

I would hope that you wouldn't have a reason to take a trip to those stinkholes.

<< 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. >>

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.

ripkenintheminors · January 9, 2008 2:39PM
