PLEASE, PLEASE, Bid with Class!!!

onefasttalon · August 31, 2007 12:07PM

I guess this guy doesn't like bidders who put less than $100, $200, or $400 bids in.
Anywho... I thought it was a little humerous. I can almost hear the guys voice reading the auction...

'83 Topps Sandberg BGS 9.5

3 DAY AUCTION!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, BID WITH CLASS!!! IT HAS A RESERVE SO THERE IS NO POINT IN PUTING UP BIDS OF $1.00, $23.79, $52.78. THIS CARD IS 25 YEARS OLD, ONE OF THE BEST 2ND BASEMEN TO PLAY THE GAME, A HALL OF FAMER, CONSIDERED MR. CUB THE 2ND!! BOOKS FOR AROUND $350 OR MORE. I HAVE 13 OF THESE, THIS IS THE ODD MAN OUT. I DONT NEED THE MONEY, JUST HAVE TOO MANY, I WONT GIVE IT AWAY. IF YOU CANT AFFORD THE GREAT CARDS THATS O.K. JUST DONT TRY TO BUY A PORSHE WHEN YOU CAN ONLY AFFORD A YUGO. THANKS FOR LOOKING!!! BID WITH CLASS!

Enjoy the read... have a good weekend everyone.

PasadenaMudSlide · August 31, 2007 12:35PM

Bid with class. So I can drive to Circuit City and buy a scanner.

tennesseebanker · August 31, 2007 12:35PM

Wow you can tell this guy has class ! He doesn't even know how to spell Porsche, But does know how to spell Yugo.
Maybe he should buy a Dictionary !

VintageJeff · August 31, 2007 12:38PM

Maybe he should list with class. A card of that magnitude doesn't deserve to be listed with a penny for the starting bid its an insult.

alifaxwa2 · August 31, 2007 12:49PM

I bid 79.01. And messaged him...

I just bid 79.01. Since thats as much class as you deserve.

mosaic · August 31, 2007 1:00PM

Shows a lot of class to start an auction for a high-ticket card for less than 10 bux so you can take advantage of eBay's "free listing special."

Like a BGS 9.5 Sandberg would end below $200+ anyway. I guess his gf/wife/lover must not have class either, because he's obviously high strung and not getting release.

Oh no... now I have no class for saying that *grin*

dontippet · August 31, 2007 1:12PM

Man, I just bid at $81.01, but somebody has a higher bid. I was for sure his reserve was $81. Oh well, I don't have enough class. Does anybody have enough class to win?

Leiascards · August 31, 2007 1:17PM

What an idiot doesn't he realize there is a reason people bid odd bids like they do. Many times I will assume another bidder has bid 20.00 on an item so I will bid 20.03 or something like that to beat him

colebear · August 31, 2007 2:01PM

puting???? Nice spelling

hankcaddy · August 31, 2007 7:00PM

LOOKS like i am not getting it for 91.01

mosaic · August 31, 2007 7:22PM

Maybe I will get it for $93.01. Actually, I won't lie, my max bid is 93.69. See, that 69 there? THAT'S "class."

The kind of class people are often puting into a porshe.

You know, I do wacky things at 5AM thanks to you guys...

unitas · August 31, 2007 10:43PM

94.57 had enough CLASS to become high bidder,

alifaxwa2 · August 31, 2007 11:38PM

<< I bid 79.01. And messaged him...

His response:

"No worries small change, I do this to provoke $hitbags such as yourselves, just banging your girlfriends isnt enough for me. If you were a confident man and had any balls what so ever, you would care less or agree with me. Taking time out of your life to send me an e-mail shows that I have and always will own turds like you! Being that I have been a paid and fully sponsored athlete of 22 years with several state championship trophies on my mantle, I can say that. Keep collecting cards and looking at stats, Im sure its very fulfilling. Only wish you could be here to tell me in person but we know what would happen there dont we. Nite Nite princess. Dont bother responding, it wont be read, it will be erased promptly just as you were in life. "

mosaic · August 31, 2007 11:57PM

I don't know why, but arrogant people that also happen to be bad spellers bug me.

He doesn't know how to spell "whatsoever," and he used the possessive "its" in place of the contraction "it's."

He really must have been an athlete for 22 years. He sure as heck didn't succeed on his smarts *grin*

artimus · September 1, 2007 12:06AM

he sure took a lot of time out of his life to write that lengthy email in response to a one liner!.......guess you now own him....lol

RipublicaninMass · September 1, 2007 12:35AM

..certainly wasn't spelling bee champion

Be sure to reply to this email. I can viturally guarantee he will read it, and respond to it. Guys like this just can't let things go. Obviously he can't, otherwise he never would have replied in the first place. But, he took 30 minutes to come up with that reply. He cares. I know it. You know it. Even Yellow Dog knows it!

TomGshotput · September 1, 2007 12:52AM

I sent him a message letting him know Bobby Grich was a better second baseman and told him if he has any of his cards from 1983 I would pay $95 for one

alifaxwa2 · September 1, 2007 1:24AM

I did reply...I said "I wish I could be as cool as you"

Since then, I wish I had said "I won't be erased too quickly in life, since you took the time and effort to write that reply.

Leiascards · September 1, 2007 1:31AM

In what?

262Runner · September 1, 2007 2:38AM

His reply to me was that he was 22 years old and a sponsored athlete.

vintagetoppsguy · September 1, 2007 2:44AM

<< I have been a paid and fully sponsored athlete of 22 years with several state championship trophies on my mantle >>

Maybe Special Olympics???

tnspro · September 1, 2007 10:39AM

Oh brother, I have NEVER responded to people, but just couldn't let this one pass. Earlier today I told him he spelled "porshe" wrong. Here is his response....totally classic!!!!

Ive long contended that baseball card collectors are worthless, pathetic men, who dont have the balls to compete in life. As a Fully Paid And Sponsored athlete of 22 years with multiple state championships under my belt, you have proven me right once again. While Im out training, 18-25 hours a week, people like you with narrow little shoulders vent your pathetic lives to people you dont even know like me. I cant stand you people, the only thing usefull about you loosers is your girls always come my way when your playing homerun derby on PS3, or Playing Fantasy Baseball. Stop worrying about me and get your ass in the game. If you had any pride at all, you would no what I mean. If my little blog offended you, maybe you should try competing instead of worshiping others!! You E-Bay junkies are all the same. So Get Fit, Get A Life, Pretend your a man. Have the confidence to apply your time to something worth while. Or were you looking for a date? Dont bother responding, it wont be read. It goes in the trash where you came from before its read. Nit Nite Princess!

vintagetoppsguy · September 1, 2007 10:46AM

<< Ive long contended that baseball card collectors are worthless, pathetic men, who dont have the balls to compete in life... >>

In his auction he states that he has 13 of the same card, but he is not a collector? What an idiot!

killingdream · September 1, 2007 10:58AM

I can't believe that all of those people paid $180 a pop for those 1989 UD Griffeys that he sold. To pay all that cash for something that was so heavily mass produced is just ridiculous. To buy anything off of this arrogant idiot is even more ridiculous. Doesn't anyone read over the listing before bidding ? Man is ebay filled with complete idiots. I don't know about anyone else but to me $100-200 is a lot of cash. If I am going to spend it I sure wouldn't give it to this moron.

TomGshotput · September 1, 2007 11:17AM

If the highest level he can reach is state level, perhaps they are sponsoring the wrong guy

rajah424 · September 1, 2007 11:36AM

His item location says Helena, Montana. Professional Curler?

EagleEyeKid · September 1, 2007 12:37PM

This seller sounds like a d**k. 100% feedback.....whatever!
I'm going to be the winner tomorrow

PasadenaMudSlide · September 1, 2007 12:43PM

I'm going to be the winner tomorrow

Please post your feedback here! Classic.

PasadenaMudSlide · September 1, 2007 12:46PM

Pretend your a man.

I think he meant "Pretend you're a man."

This guy is a doof.

Nothing against the good folks of Montana, but I do believe I'll have to research professional athletes in Helena.

EagleEyeKid · September 1, 2007 12:54PM

I have the auction on my snipe. It's going to be mine.
My new ebay name will fit the occasion perfectly.

Check back tomorrow

gamehunter · September 1, 2007 1:35PM

Distelrath · September 1, 2007 1:49PM

..."Loosers"
LMAO

<< I cant stand you people, the only thing usefull about you loosers is your girls always come my way when your playing homerun derby on PS3, or Playing Fantasy Baseball. >>

Distelrath · September 1, 2007 2:01PM

...Just wrote him a letter myself

"Hey man that card is 24 years old, not 25. You gotta' brush up on your math skills. Also, you must be a "looser" like the rest of us, considering you have 13 of this card. A brush up on your spelling skills might get you farther in life also. It's spelled "Loser" btw. That is just one of many grammatical errors that you've created."

heh heh heh... wonder if he'll write back?

EagleEyeKid · September 1, 2007 2:04PM

That card is mine! MUWHUHUHUHAHAHA!!!!

Distelrath · September 1, 2007 2:07PM

I put it on my watch list just to see how this train wreck ends....

dontippet · September 1, 2007 2:25PM

I just got an email stating that he has lowered the reserve.

digicat · September 1, 2007 2:26PM

<< people like you with narrow little shoulders >>

Hmm. I took a look at what he's gotten feedback for buying...

30 waist swim shorts
medium shirt

So, he's either lying, or is wearing clothes that are too small for him just to exaggerate his physique. Either way, he’s got acceptance issues.

JackWESQ · September 1, 2007 2:34PM

Interesting. I just received an email informing me that the reserve price for the Ryno has been lowered.

/s/ JackWESQ

rajah424 · September 1, 2007 3:02PM

He has edited his description asking people to stop e-mailing him with crazy messages.

Distelrath · September 1, 2007 3:36PM

<< He has edited his description asking people to stop e-mailing him with crazy messages. >>

...Funny how his brothers college roommates type in all caps as well.

GDM67 · September 1, 2007 4:44PM

A regular e.e. cummings, this one.

EagleEyeKid · September 2, 2007 4:38AM

well that suks. he ended the auction.
guess he got scared of what potentially could happen

onlyanumber · September 2, 2007 5:47AM

Relisted with an explanation

I think you're right eagleEyeKid. He must've been mortified about what could've been coming his way...

bhl2359 · September 2, 2007 2:25PM

Let's bid it up.

Also, be sure to ask lots of questions.

CDsNuts · September 2, 2007 2:51PM

Please don't bid any more. I'm the high bidder and I hope he'll sell to me at the current price if it doesn't meet the reserve.

He actually sent me a message telling me not to bid if I wasn't serious:

Dear byaaaaah,

Hello. I have had this card on E-Bay 3 days ago. My brother has been engaging in message wars with some 6-8 people on this item while I was away.I dont know what kind of insane people send messages filled with stupid insults one after the other are thinking. My brother included. People were actually creating new accounts it appears just to bid on this card. If you are one of them, please dont waste my time or yours. I have contacted E-Bay in this matter. They recomended blocking all people involved as the messages were way over the line. My brother does things a little different than me, apparently he likes to stir things up and play insult championships. As you are a 0 feedback bidder, I am at my wits end with this nonsense. If you are serious, thats fine, but please do not add to an already out of control situation. Thanks Don Stone

Right, because I always give my brother my ebay and email login info when I go out of town. I think we're getting to this guy.

GDM67 · September 2, 2007 3:11PM

Don forgot to mention his wife, Morgan Fairchild.

Who he's seen naked.

gamehunter · September 2, 2007 3:24PM

His reply to my question:

That young lady was your wife, and yes I banged her. She sucks! As I siad, less time on the computer, more time being a man. Good luck Sorry-ass. Go back to your child porn chat room now. My college degree was completed long ago. I dont write books, or magazine articles. Just put in them for dip*hits like you to admire. By the way, I wouldnt take your money if I was Starving in the streets! Good Nite little lady.

PLEASE, PLEASE, Bid with Class!!!
