Has anyone done business with "Where They Aint"?

I stumbled across their website and see they have a massive inventory of high-grade vintage. Has anyone here done business with them?

Rich Gove recommended them, what more do you need to know?

They could use better scans on a few of those "featured" cards. That '55 Banks is a horrible scan. I'm not sure I would shell out $8000 for a card that I can't make heads or tails of.

A friend of mine picked up a 1951 Bowman Mays 8oc from wheretheyaint. The guy's name is Benjamin Milch. I have spoken to him a few times. Nice guy.

That said, I'm under the impression he is consigning - all those cards are not in inventory. This can lead to some delays - the Mays deal above took a liitle while, but we did get the card (at around 2k). He is not super responsive but I think he's a probably an honest guy.

They are not in inventory for a reason. He pirates photos from other users that have the card listed as BINs. Then lists them for slightly higher than the real auction. If someone buys his card, he simply purchases the card on the other BIN. I know this for a fact through some late night "I am bored" investigation. One auction I reported numerous times was a 1958 or 59 Mantle PSA 9. The real auction was listed by Redzone (obviously another long thread on here). Wheretheyaint had the card listed with the PSA cert # whited out. When I requested the PSA number, he responded with the same cert # as the card Redzone had listed. I forwarded the email to Redzone and the auction was reported and quickly pulled just to be relisted the next day.

The delays are self explanatory. He has to wait to receive the card he purchased before he can ship it to the new buyer. Check any of his auctions. Usually you can find the same photo on another auction currently running or already closed with no buyers.

Edit: Forgot to mention, if the real auction is purchased he cancels his listing immediately.
