Beware of Seller

To all,
Some of those who know me are aware that for certain years I have many many thousands of cards. In the last year or so I have sent several thousand card packages to certain sellers who were able to cherry pick the cards they wanted and they paid a fair price for them. They paid for the shipping both ways and returned the cards they did not buy. I trusted these people and have never had a problem till now. I sent 4500 or more 1975 and 1976 cards to dbest-psagems-in-indy , this person had purchased several hundred dollars worth of cards off my Ebay site and after a couple of phone conversations I sent him a package, well its been 7 weeks, he does not return emails, phone calls or anything. I guess its my own fault for being trusting but any cards purchased from this person that are 75's or 76's are probrably mine. I am looking into my options with the police since I do have a dozen or so emails where he originally said he needed more time to look at the cards and when he was sending them back. I will be monitoring his account but want everyone to know what type of person they will be dealing with if they buy from him.

It is curious to note that after 2200 sales in less than 6 months that there is now zero activity.
I'm sorry to hear of this and feel powerless to do anything but hope for a good resoution.

You are contradicting yourself. I wonder which sentence above is actually true.
Used to working on HOF SS Baseballs--Now just '67 Sox Stickers and anything Boston related.
If the person who owes you cards and payment is reading these posts - please do the right thing and either pay Bob or return the cards. Bob is one of the stand up guys on these boards and he's got a few things on his plate outside baseball cards, where he shouldn't have to worry about getting stiffed on a sportscard deal. Thx
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Always buying Bobby Cox inserts. PM me.
You should contact the Postal Inspector where you live. Obviously the guy got the stuff, gotta be some kinda of interstate theft...I would also suggest you get an attorney who will listen for free on the first visit. Perhaps he can gin up a nasty letter which may ring this guy's bell.
Additionally, it might be worth a shot to call Cosetta or BJ Searles in that you now suspect he has had your stuff graded and is up on eBay.
Makes copies of the emails and anything else that supports your case. This is beyond total BS !!!

<< <i>I am livid. He emailed me moments ago to say the box was shipped and he is buying 100-150 cards. LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. He has no shame. Buy the way I received no payment and no tracking number. He has the cards 8 weeks now. I guarantee he has taken several hundred cards. what a vomit!!! >>
That's a pretty good scam.
Get cards from Bob ---> Sort through them and submit the nicest ones to PSA ---> wait for grades to come back ---> Offer to pay Bob 2x Beckett raw prices for the cards that graded 9 and 10.
Guy sends thousands of dollars of cardboard to someone he doesn't know, without the buyer paying for them.
The Brits have a word for this: Daft.
The rude Nube who doesn't read the thread then posts his own inane response.
Bob (gaspipe) had written that he had done numerous deals with this buyer previously to this deal. The same person also has strong feedback on Ebay, which shows that he has done many deals in the internet without a problem.
The issue is the sudden turn-around in behaviour by this buyer to Gaspipe.
Bob isn't "daft", he had an unfortunate dealing with a long time buyer.
Since this board is about collecting and promoting the hobby, I look forward to your 13 post being a bit more positive.
The OP (Bob) has been on these boards for a bit over 10 years. You OTOH have been here for less than 2 months, and have a whopping 12 posts under your belt. The OP has had MANY positive deals and simply ran into a complete jerk. That you feel you need to pour salt in the wounds will NOT find you in good graces with those who have "been around" for a long time and sympathize with Bob's situation.
Why you find it necessary to post some insulting crap is beyond me. You need to grow up quickly, or be prepared to receive the wrath of this board.
The US has a word for people like you, but I think you know what it is.
Wake up !!!

Yeah, that word is ALT

This guy has been around so long, that makes him a bigger fool for not knowing better. I might give a pass to a rook, but not to a self proclaimed hobby veteran.
People on these boards routinely trust each other and send cards w/o payment.
With all the scammers on ebay...we do not expect that here.
An old saying...you never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression.
So rethink your posting Curlybill

Wouldn't that imply he thought about it the first time??
