Do yourself a favor and block this moron

ebay id: sportsfan63

I have a handful PSA 10s in my store at $13 ea. The guy sends me the following message: "Are all of your cases listed brand new with no scratches or marks of ANY kind? Thanks". At this point I know he's a nutjob but fall into his trap anyway and ask which cards he's interested in. He says 6 Favre's and asked if I'd give him a good price for all of them if the cases have no scratches.

I respond that all but one are scratch-free and would sell him the 6 cards for $60 dlvd, to which I get the following gem: "Thanks for the offer. However, I would only be interested in the five cards that have clean cases, and thos five cards have a "total" book value of $14. These are new cards that mostly come out of packs in mint condition. I understand they are graded but I can't justify paying almost four times the amount. Thanks again.

Look, if you're gonna make ridiculous lowball offers I have no problem with it, but don't ask me to dig through boxes of cards looking to see if cases are scratched and then expect me to take a 50%-75% loss on the cost of grading, especially on players that will almost always eventually sell at $10-$15.

    What in the world?? What's with the love affair with probstein123? I actually won two of probstein123 auctions last month and had great service, but THAT is a ton of auctions with the same seller. wow...

    I don't get it. Did the guy win all those auctions or are we saying Probstein has a buddy shilling?


    Fwiw I never had a problem with Probstein other than him spamming me with his insurance.

    It looks like a lot of those auctions were won at a pretty good price, I have been watching many of his auctions lately, he has had some nice PSA 10's starting at 0.99.

    It's lazy seller's like Lee, that don't want to get out of their comfortable chair and do 30 seconds worth of work, that ruin the eBay experience for valuable eBay buyers.

    I actually should just run a drill through them all and send him a video of it. And screw you, Nick. You have no idea how comfortable this chair is.
