The tool in question today is Joshbow on tradecardsnow.com. Now Tradecardsnow is a great site. Love the atmosphere and the other people there. Problem is its full of kids. Josh is one of those. Josh and I agreed to a trade where he was going to send me 5 Gu cards for 2 autos. I was kinda hesitant cause he really didn't have anything I wanted. But I went ahead and agreed. Here are the 5 cards I was suppose to get in the deal:
And some other one.
Well I posted a thread asking who sent me that Envelope on a few boards. I had no idea what was in it at the time. Josh replied that it was his and that he would send me a replacement package. I said ok he asked what sport and I said Football. Well I got the package today:
If you look at Aaron Brooks left hand you can see a line going up in the green area that is the crease. Can't see it on the white part but clearly visible on the green
On this one you can clearly see the damage all on top and on the area by the football.
On the other cards I noticed how they are cropped just enough so that the edges of the cards don't show. Very Convenient. I also noticed another thing All the cards that were "SENT" the first time are still pictured in his photobucket. Now I don't know if he's just too lazy to take them off or if its something else. But it does look shady.
So either way Josh I will no longer trade with you and will ship back your stuff ASAP. Why because you knew the cards you mailed me that "SECOND" time were Damaged and you did it anyway. When you contacted me to fix the first mailing you told me this :
there were a couple pretty good ones. i dont remember them all of the top of my head, but i remember a kellen clemens rookie jersey, a brian robiskie/Muhammad massaquoi dual rookie jersey #'d /(i think) 500. those are the only two i can 100% guarantee; i dont remember the rest. i also included some autographs, rookies, and some base cards with a BV of more than $1.00.
And I have to say I am not Happy. The damaged cards you sent are worthless. So Josh You earned yourself a Post in the Blog of Shame. So good luck with all future trades.
Also just an FYI Josh has done this to other folks as can be seen here:
KRUNCHTYMECARDS
UPDATE: Josh has Replied:
Godamn, dude. Didn't have to be such an ass about it. I tried to make it up. Im super low on inventory and I sent you the equivalent BV as the ones that were lost. So I'm sorry all my cards aren't museum quality. I hope this makes you thik twice before being such a complete jerk. You can keep your Letterman cards because they're not worth it. Never trading with you again. If I see you going to do a trade with someone, im going to warn them. I tried to make it up. You should have just accepted and gotten it over with, you selfish jerk-off.
So to reply to Josh. Wow are you really that DENSE? How can damaged Cards be equivalent to undamaged ones? Museum Quality? Hell they weren't even dollar store quality. I mean seriously you saw nothing wrong on sending me damaged JUNK!!! That and its kinda stupid for you to say that you will never trade with me again. Because I had already told you I would Never trade with you AGAIN EVER. SO yeah you know you are right you will NEVER trade with me again. As for warning others. Please man I have over 300 positive trades. You have done 3 and all 3 have had issues. So yeah people are really going to believe a problem trader. And trying to make up for a mistake with Damaged junk is not making up anything at all. And Sorry No I would not will not and should not accept junk. So get over yourself and become a good trader instead of the joke you have shown yourself to be.
In the end folks do right to your fellow traders and all good things will happen.
wow sorry man that stinks.And I learned something new today as well I use the plastic cases all the time to ship card lots and haven't had a problem but I will try to remember not to use them on our trades.And I dont know about you but when I get damaged cards and I get a ton! LOL I have a few young kids that just love to get cards so I give them my junk cards and try to encourage the hobbie
ReplyDeleteI usually let stuff like this slide. But that's what the odd thing is. I gave him an out before he sent these damaged cards. And by the scans they were damaged before hand. So he knew they were junk. And then there was this comment:
ReplyDelete[b]You should have just accepted and gotten it over with, you selfish jerk-off.[/b]
So I am selfish for not accepting Damaged cards? and then there was this:
[b]Never trading with you again. If I see you going to do a trade with someone, im going to warn them.[/b]
Which shows he found nothing wrong with what he did and actually blames me. I mean honestly does he really believe I would ever trade again with him EVER? Or that I would want too? Why throw that out there when common sense should already tell you :
" Uhhh yeah He told me in a vid and in a post prior to me writing this message. That he will Never trade with me. So just to be sure I will tell the guy I tried to burn , Hey I won't trade with You again see how he likes it."
Oh yeah Josh you showed me. I got it I won't Trade with youse nomores. Lets me go hide in that there corner and wallow in regret.
And then the Warn other traders thing is so Darn funny. I can imagine that conversation.
"Hey Man don't trade with David. He's a jerk!!!"
"Why's that?"
"Well I sent him damaged cards and that Jerk didn't accept them and keep quiet. Total tool!!!"
"Uh he didn't accept Damaged Cards?"
"Yeah Can ya believe the nerve of that Jerk!!!"
yeah I can see that working out for him. Either way I too vote that this guy gets banned from trading. If he had shown some sort of remorse I would think otherwise. But at last he didn't so why should I feel sorry for him. As for the damaged cards I usually give them away to kids around here.
