BBCE Set run

BBCE is selling a set run of mid grade baseball sets 1954 - 1975 ish. I just bought a 1958 Topps Set, and wanted to give Steve a shout-out for great customer service.

BTW, if anyone has a centered Maris RC in a PSA 5 or better, I'm in the market.



Kiss me once, shame on you.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

    Congrats on the set buy. The sets were listed some time yesterday. About half have sold already.

    Who runs their facebook page? Saw this on it yesterday as a response to their posting about these baseball sets. Not so great customer service unless making a potential customer feel stupid on a public forum is considered good customer service.

    Name here does not matter: What is your website?

    Baseball Card Exchange: Name here does not matter, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

    The box where "What is your website?" was typed is dangerously close to their website link/address. They probably thought someone was messing with them.

    Sometimes sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek doesn't come out so good on a keyboard.
    This is kind of a running joke on our Facebook. Someone has asked once before and it was in jest. Now others ask occasionally the same thing, just to keep the joke going.
    I guess now, we wouldn't know the difference if someone was really asking, or it was someone running with the lasting joke theme.
    However, I guess if you are on Facebook, you have a computer and internet access, so the web address probably is plastered all over the page!

    Are the sets on eBay or their website?

    Having not known this is a running joke - and I read every Facebook update from you guys - I can say that the response highlighted above came across really poorly. When in doubt, best to not use sarcasm or at least punctuate it with a image

    For a running joke I would have seen it at least once in the previous four months on your facebook page

    This part of your response once again shows you do not have a clue:

    I am sorry.
    To all the people that have had their lives disrupted by me, I am sorry.

    May God have mercy on my soul.

    Lol... we all know who's clueless on here Steve. I personally think your customer service is the best in the biz. I know I appreciate everything you've done for me, keep up the good work!
  • Loved the response. If you're on the internet - on a company's Facebook page - you can't be asking what their website is. That is so 1997.

    It's almost like calling someone to ask what their phone # is.

    You're barking up the wrong tree...I can't say enough great things about the bbce and what they've done for the hobby industry and my enjoyment/collection...total class act in every way.

    If that's all it takes to make you feel stupid, you must have have been slightly leaning that direction to begin with.

    Still sounds like an unnecessarily risky move, to potentially let a customer misinterpret something as snide, no matter the monopoly one has. A multi-millionaire might have had a senior moment; not worth the potential risk for some levity, IMO.

    Most people have become much better at playing internets.

    For instance, trolls are a dying breed just because most people no longer get upset at words they read on a web site.
