Hurry 1989 Fleer wax $700 a box !

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 1, 2009 4:29AM

Guy started it at $10k for the case. I informed him of actual prices and he said these are hard to find. Then raised it by 2k. I emailed again and offered to sell him all he wants for $200 plus ship and he raised his by another 2k. lol

Group break anyone?

Not the cheapest case of 89 Fleer you'll see today

Dexter · October 1, 2009 4:37AM

I was thinking about buying it, but I am saving my money for a rack case!

saucywombat · October 1, 2009 4:40AM

Does he have a linoleum floor in his attic?

I wouldn't trust the guy.

**If every other card in the case was a Bill Ripken error would it have a value of $14,000?

He forgot to mention Chris Sabo RC's. And not to mention Griffey, if you were to pull 3 you'd easily double your money. Is Hal Morris's RC included in '89 Fleer?

jeffcbay · October 1, 2009 4:40AM

I emailed him too, let's see if he raises it again! lol

DIBS!

jimrad · October 1, 2009 4:43AM

Hey give the guy a break - he is offering free shipping !!

hammered · October 1, 2009 4:46AM

You'd earn 200 Ebay bucks!

Dboneesq · October 1, 2009 4:47AM

HAHAHAHAHA

$14,000.00 for a case. You can buy as many as you want for $175.00. This is one of the craziest I ever saw! LOL

Edited to post the email I just sent to him:

Hi,

I see that you have a 1989 Fleer wax case for sale. I might be interested, but I think you made a mistake in the price. Did you mean for the sales price to be $140.00??? In case you did not realize, you have it listed for $14,000.00, which is almost 100 times what it is worth. Let me know. Thanks.

gecko109 · October 1, 2009 5:25AM

Someone should send him a message asking if he'd take $10,500 on it.

gecko109 · October 1, 2009 5:28AM

Ok, I wanted a little fun....sent this to him:

"Very nice case of cards there! Would you be interested in selling to me for $10,500, and I'll even pay shipping? Thanks!"

clydecoolidge · October 1, 2009 5:33AM

I saw an episode of Dateline about the Appalachian mountain area, that there's a big problem with Oxy and Mt. Dew abuse. I now see the results of this abuse.

richtree · October 1, 2009 5:51AM

I hear the case is only has checklists inside that include the players positions on them !!!!!!!!!!!

LOL..............................

Oh wait, they don't exisit ?> do they ? LOL,

REALLY wish you would reply to my questioning about a certain card you obtained that may or may not be related to your post.....

Here's what the seller said when I asked if he meant to list it at $10,000

yes.you cant find them anymore

richtree · October 1, 2009 6:01AM

well case 411 -- shoudl be an error case at least., no D? ?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 1, 2009 6:17AM

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 1, 2009 6:20AM

Yes should be a error case. Well the FF anyways. ALTHOUGH I've bought a few similar issue time frame rack cases and they had corrections. So I think at one point they did open FF cases and pull the product out and reused the boxes. Which at my job we do from time to time. Top/Bottom $1 in all x 500...

jeffcbay · October 1, 2009 6:24AM

Am I missing something? You're saying that since it has a "411" on the side that it's a high chance to be an error case? Don't all of them have that number?

zep33 · October 1, 2009 6:31AM

what are the fees for listing something with a $14k price?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 1, 2009 6:31AM

Yeah, the 411 does not have anything to do with the pack date.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 1, 2009 6:33AM

<< what are the fees for listing something with a $14k price? >>

Insertion Fee : $0.35
Total: $0.35

Based on your Buy It Now price, you will be charged a Final Value Fee of $323.00 if your item sells.

slantycouch · October 1, 2009 7:03AM

D I'll split it with you.

We can agree to save it for 650 years when inflation has made it "worth" what we paid.

lsutigers1973 · October 1, 2009 7:12AM

I sent him a polite email asking if he accidentally added a few extra zeros and gave him a link to BBCE's $175 cases.

they must have changed how that works then - didn't the fees used to go up as the start price did?

Haha dude's probably never had this many questions about an item before.

billwaltonsbeard · October 1, 2009 7:34AM

If he combines SH with that old taillight and license plate, I'll think about it

corvette1340 · October 1, 2009 7:53AM

I sent him an email asking if I could pick it up in person and pay in cash since the IRS might raise questions if I bought it through paypal because I didn't have a real job.

It does/did. Maybe they have some special going on as I just made a mock listing and got the .35 price.

gecko109 · October 1, 2009 8:30AM

He responded that he was willing to sell me the case for just $10,500. I politely responded that I had just found an identical case on another website for $140, and thanked him for his time.

Man, that is cruel. Probably called up the wife and told her he had an offer for $10,000 on the case and she could get those new mudflaps for the ATV after all.

Don't feel bad for the guy. He's got some Hillbilly folk music (his own words) that could fetch a pretty penny.

Dboneesq · October 1, 2009 10:50AM

Man ... we are a mean bunch ... BUT ... we are funny as hell! LMFAO!!!!!

Sportsamerica · October 1, 2009 11:06AM

I asked how many boxes were in the case...

JackWESQ · October 1, 2009 2:29PM

Storm888 says eventually somebody will buy their item at the advertised price and I agree with this statement. But I have to wonder, if this seller of the case of 1989 Fleer Baseball is the exception to the rule.

/s/ JackWESQ

yankeeno7 · October 1, 2009 2:36PM

Maybe I should email him and let him know that he is low and that that case should sell for 16K all day long...if I only had 14K to spend, I would make a couple grand profit

yankeeno7 · October 1, 2009 2:38PM

LOL I had to do it...
"Nice case! You are low though. That case should sell all day long at 16-18K. If I only had 14K, Id buy it and flip it to make a couple of grand. Good luck on your sale."

CNote · October 1, 2009 3:12PM

My contribution to this sellers numerous questions:

Wow, you're selling this awfully cheap- this is THE set of the '80s. I had a box, just ONE box that sold for $2800 about a year ago...

Other than the rule that "everybody eventually croaks," about
each and every "rule" carries some exception baggage.

IF the subject case was in the $400 to $800 range, it is more
than likely true that "eventually" it would sell on EBAY.

At the current price, the exception applies.

italianstallionyankees · October 1, 2009 3:19PM

I guess I will have to join in on the fun ! Looks like another Craigslist idiot that made it to Ebay......

"Eventually" includes the year 2700.

LOL. You probably just gave the guy a giant chubby.

Morgoth · October 2, 2009 4:10AM

Guy will probably end up keeping it for his kids and try to insure it for 20K.
