Had to share a couple of tales which just happend today..

I've been under the weather lately so I've been on the computer more than usual. I figured I would go on FB Marketplace to see if there were any lots for sale close by..

Came across one, 100,000 cards for a $1,000.00, looked like a nice, big lot of cards, RC, HOF'ers, etc. The collection has been for sale for about a month so it must not have much interest. The funny thing is, I bought a 500,000 card lot from this guy back in 2017 so I'm familiar with him to a degree. Tigerfan22 ended up most of those cards but thats a whole nother story. Anyways, I contact this guy, said I am interested, just need to check with my wife first. The wife approves (to some degree) so I tell the guy I can come by Friday or Saturday to look, I get no response from him but the item now marked to Pending. Ok. 3 hours later, the itemis now marked as Sold (was marked Available at one point in there too), still no response from the buyer. Not even a courtesy, "Hey, just sold this". So, this lot has been for sale for a month, I wanna come look at it and now it's suddenly Sold? Makes no sense. 

At some time, found someone selling a bunch of early 1990's factory set Baseball and Football sets (my weakness). Of course the guy has the lot listed for $1. I tell him to give me some time to figure out an offer and I will get back to him. He pings me 3 hours later asking if I am interested still because he has other folks that are interested and what my offer will be. So I do some quick research, figure these sets are worth about $150.00 total and send off my offer. No response and then he says.."150 total, for everything" and then "No, Thanks, I'm expecting at last 500.00 for these cards". He then proceeds to tell me he has an eBay store, etc. Looking at his prices, he is super high on everything especially this beauty https://www.ebay.com/itm/393580429308?hash=item5ba338bffc:g:RNMAAOSwFXphUoU8

So dealing with two dingbats in the course of one day. The second guy really takes the cake though. I'll be watching his FaceBook listing to see how long before that sells. Betting it will be awhile if ever. And if he reaches back out to me, my offer goes down even less. 

Anyone else had any fun. like that lately?

See if you can interest them in one of your 1990 Fleer Uribe error cards. Very rare. Very valuable.

LOL if you check out his feedback his positives are all as a buyer. The only feedback he has as a seller is 2 nuetral and 1 negative

This card is a never ending collectors joke. It'll always be used in these situations, (I've used it at least 3 times.) I think I'd throw another one in there to make him a multi millionaire. Maybe add a Todd Zeile RC error too for a PIF.

I wonder about people that are out there also..

When I put my nephew's collection on Craigs list the first time.   I got a lot of replies.   I cannot remember how many times I set up a day and time for them to come over to look at them.   Not a one showed up, wasted a lot of days waiting.  No replies when asked why they do not show.     Just do not understand it some people.

Who know how many 1990 Fleer Uribe error cards and Todd Zeile RC error cards I may have.

Recently, some guy bought a 3.00 Jaime Garcia baseball card lot from me on ebay. 

Well, later found out that he was a scammer. He bid on the item all to just never pay. 

The worst part about this is that on ebay you can't leave negative feedback for an incomplete transaction.

Some other guy bought it after I canceled it so I'm not as mad now.
