a fool and his money......

Apparently there are people out there who bid on items they want without so much as a casual interest in the track record of the seller........

not nearly a big enough discount

    Amazing that anyone would bid on any of his auctions. That is just pizzing your money away.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Yeah... when I see 90.3% feedback and then read the comments... A gum stained card not near any gum? Hmmm...... Apparently the other folks aren't reading the feedback at all.

    Exactly.....it's not like the guy is making you work that hard to figure out that there's no frickin' way these packs are legit. And they are STILL at $12.50/pack shipped! Might go higher!!!! Absolutely incredible.

    Stupid people make up a large percentage of this scums sales. Its hard to put all the blame on the seller, maybe 90% of it, but honestly, if people are so stupid to buy this stuff, then they get what they deserve
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    I think that's more than a bit harsh. We were all new once, right??

    Buyers with 800+ feedback and 1300+ are generally not new to the hobby.

    Good for you.

    Why does Ebay allow a seller with 90.4% feedback to still sell? 1 out of 10 are unhappy, and the other 9 aren't smart enough to know the've been had.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    I can see if one person had an issue with the packs being resealed, but there are too many that had problems.
  • leftofdialleftofdial Posts: 444 ✭✭
    I'm always amazed by the other 9/10 that give glowing feedback. Of course I've been one of them too - tjs6121 or whatever he goes by got me once. And he still has 100% feedback.

    So by your standards, people who get ripped off by this person are the ones who are at fault along with the seller. That makes no sense at all. For example, if I bought a Toyota in the past few years I am just as at fault as the manufacturer if my gas pedal sticks. Nice logic there

    Well, Toyota's reputation over the past 20 years has been fantastic. I bought one myself (never had a problem). Now, if you were to buy a vintage Ford Pinto and then had a gas tank problem, then you probably should have known better. But this seller is a douche. Plain and simple. Why take advantage of anyone, ignorant or not?
