    i find them to overprice and overgrade slightly.

    I find them overpriced but generally fairly graded with good service. I buy from them when I need cards toward a set and don't mind paying an extra 10%-20% to ensure cards are accurately graded.

    I've dealt with them a few times for vintage cards ....

    Overpriced a bit, but very willing to strike a deal!

    Excellent customer service including fast shipping.

    Never purchased from them, but would not have a problem doing so.

    As other noted, they can be a little on the high side, but I also imagine their overhead is 4-5x what a normal dealer is, so it all relates. I know they sent me a dozen or more catalogs when I was a kid and never got anything out of me....although I always wanted to order.

    Steve,

    I honestly don't know the history here. Could you recap or link me to a previous thread? I recently bought an older set from them. Just curious what other people's experiences have been.

    I bought a card from them quite awhile ago and now I keep getting e-mails from them on specials that they are having and I have gotten to the point that I don't even check it out anymore since they are overprice on the items I like.

    I bought a raw HOW No. 288 from Kit Young a few years ago. The price was $50.00 and the condition described as EX. Got it graded and it came back a PSA5. At the time it was a Pop. 1 of 3 with none higher. Sold it for $800.00.

    That was the only card I ever bought from Kit Young.

    If I ever saw another NonSports card I wanted, I wouldn't hesitste to buy it from Kit Young.

    A bit overgraded at times, but excellent customer service, very personable, and if you call them they'll give you a very detailed and accurate description.
    Kit is one of the good guys overall, and that carries thru to the entire staff.

    I've gotten a couple of cards that I felt were overgraded, and they refunded me the full price, including shipping. They'll certainly stand behind what they sell, no questions asked.

    If you have something to add to the original question, please share. If not, please stay out of the thread. I was looking for serious, genuine responses. These mysterious vague responses don't help me or the other people here who are interested. You obviously have something to say. If you want to share, then please share. If you're not going to share, quit teasing it. A big thanks to the people who have positively contributed so far.

    And then later by bobafett.

    I simply said I was staying out of it. How that is teasing is beyond me.

    You bought from Kit off ebay and I assume you have the item in hand?

    Make up your own mind if it is what you paid for.

    How is what anyone here going to help you?


    better?

    Good for you.

    I will back up Steve. There are other dealers that are far better than Kit Young. Buy from them instead.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Steve

    I have no problem if this guy buys stuff from Kit Young or anyone for that matter.

    I simply did not want to get into my situation that I had with him when asked about 3 or 4 times.

    I purchased some PSA graded cards from them for my 1935 national chicle set. Now I get there newspaper mailer quite often. Since my card was a PSA, I have no first hand experience on how they grade. Based on the newspaper catalog, they are not cheap.
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    I consider Kit Young kind of like 707, overpriced but very reliable. Both have excellent service. 707 seems to have more graded cards (which frequently are not super strong for the grade IMO) and Kit Young has a nice supply of raw cards - which I have found accurately graded. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from either but usually in situations where I don't mind paying a little extra.

    Brian26,

    In the time it took you to lecture Steve unnecessarily, you could have found it by doing a simple search. Don't know if it's the only reason or just one of the reasons. Here ya go:

    Kit recently lost his wife and I felt it was better not to trash the guy.

    My situation happened 20 yrs. ago and I'd rather just let it go now.

    in 2005 I still was pi$$ed.

    I said I did not want to get into it!!

    How is that going on a witch hunt??

    << <i>And then later by bobafett.

    You replied initially and said that you were staying out of it. No problem.

    After that, I see two other replies on page one, one with "-------------------" as your response and the other one "quit while you're ahead." If you're going to stay out of it, then really do so. If you've got something to add, feel free to contribute as I would really appreciate your opinion. I apologize for sounding frustrated.

    I never stated in my original post if I had purchased something already or was thinking of purchashing something in the future. That's irrelevant. I'm interested in other people's experiences with them on Ebay over the years.

    Again, thanks for everyone who's contributed so far.

    On page one about halfway down you state:


    I recently bought a set from him.

    Just because you did not mention that fact in your original post means what?

    Seems pretty relevant to me.

    Steve,

    Just by replying & stating that you want to stay out of this, without giving any details, is what I meant by going on a witchhunt.

    That type of response is a passive form of accusation - a position that is impossible to refute.

    It would of been better to not reply at all IMHO, if you really wanted to "Stay Out Of It"

    But you still posted a reply.

    Well, under normal circumstances I do not reply to threads of this type - sorry I answered this one

    Just expressing an opinion, trying to defend Kit Young, who I felt was a good seller.

    So I think I should of never responded to this thread.
