Re: How has eBay affected your business?
Overall, it has helped me liquidate stuff that comes in over the counter that i would not be able to sell locally or even to another dealer. Very broad market with a lot of viewers. Once in a while something will go cheaper than i had hoped , but for everyone of those, I have several that sell well over expectations. The… -
Re: The official "1952 Topps Set" thread.
I have a dumb question for you guys. I'm doing a display for my Roy Campanella basic set and I've come to the realization that it will be a long time before I can afford the '52 Topps Campy. I was wondering if someone here had a nice midgrade copy that they wouldn't mind scanning so that I can at least have a picture in… -
Re: Was there a moment when PCI graded consistently well?
The Bluesheet prices listed for PCI coins, as for all services, assume the WORST POSSIBLE quality examples. Of course, some sellers look only at the number on the slab instead of the coin, making it possible to buy early PCI Morgans which are equal to PCGS MS65s for $60. By carefully selecting older PCI slabs, we were able… -
Re: eBay announces Feedback 2.0 + other changes
Buyers have been using Paypal to SCAM big ticket items for a while now--and there's nothing a seller can do about it. For instance, if you accept payment via paypal and do not purchase delivery confirmation or ship within 7 days of payment, if they buyer files a claim Paypal will automatically award the buyer the money,… -
Re: 1915 Babe Ruth rookie PSA 8oc: Think it's legit?
Reholdering would not generate a new cert. number; they use the old one. The most disconcerting thing to me is 2 transactions in the last year, none in the past 8 months, then suddenly a massively valuable item pushed out on eBay when selling through a reputable house would double or triple the take. It all smells like an… -
Re: YAPAT (Yet another Pittsburgh ANA thread) It's long, I was there 5 days. You've been warned.
Thanks for the great report. I especially liked the vignettes. That $50 less scam was played on me 2 weeks ago at a show. I guess it's going around the country. I saw it played out as the "$100 less scam" at a dealer's table right before my eyes. The scammer tried to tell the seller that the partner quoted him $100 less.… -
Re: eBay Seller Scammed buyers and buyer is asking for contact info from me. What to do?
Poorguy, you omitted the "prices" part at the end of his Ebay user name when you first mentioned it. I find it a bit odd/surprising that if he indeed scammed people, he has not received any negative feedback to this point. The buyer who supposedly got scammed should be able to get the contact information through Ebay (and… -
Re: Take EXTREME care with bullion orders
Yes. You were lucky. It's the larger transactions that REAL scammers aim at. In the OP, the guy was buying silver higher than anyone on the tape so he was getting tremendous action. PRE scam, he was a reliable guy who raised no suspicion. That's why I shipped him what I did. I had had probably 5 or more previous… -
Re: Now I Remember Why I Quit the Hobby: Ebay
I think you worry too much over eBay, especially as you're just looking to move a few items, not earn a living off of it. Let it slide off your back -- glad your wife is going to be OK. As to how to deal with scammers on eBay; keep your blocked bidder list well up-to-date; offer free shipping (I consider it cost of moving…
