Stupid Customer Questions...

Let’s try this again…

Got an eBay message from a 3 rated person asking, “if I get cards graded do they have to be put in plastic?”:open_mouth::open_mouth::open_mouth::open_mouth::open_mouth::open_mouth:

Damn.

Better get him to buy a box of Steam Siege.

Please tell me you responded very very sarcastically to them.

“No sir, you can also have them encased in ice. It’s just as see through and keeps your beer cold in the cooler”.

Did you respond lol?

Meh, better than this crap…

Yeah I did and I was nice lol. I said something like, if you don’t like the case then you can just carefully crack it open and take the card out.

Regarding a PSA 7 Japanese Charizard auction:

“I need some information about this card. It’s an original pokemon card? If so, it’s a first edition?”

Fist time in my life that I didn’t bother replying to a customer.

welcome to the dark side… I dont reply to 90% of questions lol, chances are if they’re asking questions they’re not gonna buy, or are gonna be a pain in the ass

Lots of media seem to portray that finding cards dirt cheap is relatively common. I think that’s where this type of buyer is coming from.

The full story on this is the guy sent me three offers over 3k, because of their low feedback on their 4K offer I sent them a counteroffer for the same amount with a message saying ‘don’t accept if you don’t intend to pay’. They then counter offered that 2,800.

Beautiful strategy I’ll have to remember that.

Here’s one:

Guy buys a card on a Saturday night, and then on late Sunday (when, you know, there is no mail), he asks “Are you going to ship?”

IQ of a gnat.

Here is a question I got about a card I’ve got. Literally everything he asked about the card I had listed in the description. Maybe some people don’t bother reading discriptions?

Here’s my description:


Here’s what they asked:

So I responded and told him some thing along the lines of “in the description I stated it is most likely to grade an 8, but I cant guarantee or affirm that.” He never messaged me back or made on offer…

I figured this guy would have been making the rounds.
