Is this auction a joke?

[beefycheddar]

Everyone wants to crucify my here, but I have received conflicting reports from Topps. What am I supposed to do?

Why is selling a questionable redemption a problem? Shouldn't a buyer do their due dilligence when buying a questionable card?

How is this different than a buyer going to a show a screwing a seller that doesn't know what a card is worth?

Bottom line: do your homework before buying or selling.

So you're saying you're a dishonest seller and people have to research stuff before buying from you. That's a shame, guess I hoped we could have a better community than that.

As for what are you to do? Redeem it, you already got the benefit of having one, if Topps makes a mistake again, it should be your risk. Instead you are selling something knowing the customer is not going to get the value of the card they are buying.

That is sad.....some buyer will get screwed.

Awesome! Thanks for that!

Note to self: do not bid on jdacunha's auctions.

Note in your auction that you heard they would not be redeemed, but Topps did not confirm that when you contacted them.

Pretty simple really.

Exactly.

Well to start not say things like this in your auctions when you know it is not true.


You are bidding on a redemption card that can be mailed to Topps. Topps will send you the actual card shortly after.

Similar Todd Frazier cards are already in circulation.

 

[A_Pharis]

Wow.

Just... wow. You know that the person probably wouldn't receive the red ref, but it's "their fault". You could at least cancel all bids and restart the auction disclosing that in it.

Actually -- you should REDEEM it and sell the replacement. If you say "Well, I probably wouldn't get as much for the replacement," then we'll know exactly what kind of person you are.

All this talk about the redemption and he still has never addressed the auction that he is running for the contents of 2 08 BDP cases; where he shows a Porcello Orange but it isn't included in the lot.

you never replied to the fact that you put a different picture of a porcello and they dont even receive that card...

 

[jdacunha]

The Orange Porcello is an eye catcher. I have seen plenty of auctions that show the hit of a case and you are not getting the card in the auction, what is the difference? I clearly state that the Orange Porcello is not included.

Is your ONLY excuse "other people do it" for everything?
Tell me this... (and it's an oldie):

If EVERYONE jumped off of a cliff, would you? Would that justify you doing it?

 

[A_Pharis]

And to clarify why I asked that, the only logical response would be "of course, I wouldn't". The way you would have come to the response is that you would have thought that you'd observe the result of jumping off of said cliff, therefore coming to that cnclusion on your own.

That said, you surely should be able to look at putting a picture of an orange porcello on an auction that doesn't contain anything better than base refractors and see why it's a bit misleading.

 

[jdacunha]

There is nothing wrong with using a Porcello card as an eye catcher. It is not against eBay policy and I clearly state YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THAT CARD. You want to consider it misleading, fine I could care less.

"Misleading" people is clearly the problem that everyone has with this. And while it's obvious that you could care less, it should be just as obvious that others care.

Just because it isn't a problem to you, doesn't mean that it is not a problem with potential bidders.

That's the fairly simple disconnect.

Not to play devils advocate, but there is a clear difference in benefit(s) between jumping off a bridge and doing what he is doing. Here is another "oldie" for you...

You can not win an argument with a fool, he will only drag you to his level and beat you with expierence..

 

[timryan111]

So lets say you went to a dating website and there was a profile and picture of a beautiful man/women whatever you like and you set up a date. You get there and they look nothing like their picture, that is ok cause the picture was an eye catcher? I know you state in the auction you don't get the Porcello but it is still not right to do that.

I was mainly directing it at the fact his response to both accusations has been "other people do it". Other people doing it does not make it right.

The only way this comparison would be valid is if he were to state "This picture is not me."

Yes, but the it is an "eye catcher" is a complete bs answer to me...so I compared it to this...

 

[Craig - 21hawk]

All it boils down to is that the OP is intentionally misleading people (he knows it is misleading or there would be no reason to do it) and he doesn't care.

Just means he'll go on my mental blocked seller list.
