What happened to OCSI/psa-set-guy?

I've been pretty detached from collecting for the past year or so and was just looking through my Ebay saved sellers and noticed that neither OCSI/psa-set-guy had any cards listed, which is surprising considering the amount of product I remember them selling. Did anything happen or they just get out of the biz?

    They also use irvinecardco as an ID and have 195 cards listed...

    Quite a few sellers are using alts since the change to feedback allows buyers to nick them without reprisal.

    What happened to them is what happens to nearly every retailer who doesn't properly price their merchandise.

    They had a fire sale a few months ago where they started auctions at 99 cents. I haven't seen them since.

    That fire sale...got some great stuff....happened about a month or so after that issue in the registry forum on the guy that didn't get his card and found it relisted like a year later. Not saying it is related....just noting the timing.

    Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

    I don't think their business model could have lasted much longer anyway. DSL and jtcards gave up on the bulk modern grading market a long time ago, and Solomon Cramer bailed even sooner than that.

    As I understand it, they took a majority of their business to other outlets (including their own website) as well as adjusting and tweaking the business model. They had accumulated a bunch of material that had little to no market value. There was no connection or coincidence with regard to the relisted (undelivered) Bossy card that someone made a huge stink about. In fact, I don't think any sizable business would have even flinched at such an insignificant oversight/screw up like that no matter how loud someone chirped over a $7.00 deal. I would expect them to make it as right as possible, but in no way would it "scare" or cause them to discontinue their business.
