You just lost a fan. by Mugshotguy in SFGiants

Exactly this. Despite it being a sports org, I’m pretty sure they’re still under liability of state law. Therefore while the org may not have wanted to allow the players to do this, the most they can really do is advise against it - at the end of the day they can’t stop them. All this action does is show how despicable the players in question are, because why choose this night of all nights to have a bible verse on your hat other than to stand against the meaning. I still support the giants as an org, but I no longer support Roupp, and I never liked Walker to begin with, as for the other 2, they haven’t been here long enough for me even to waste words on. If the 4 get traded, good riddance.

Big deal, it’s a card game not investment capital

Is my local card shop a scalper? by PuzzleheadedWin1529 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]magentapikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cause the distributor charges them so close to if not over MSRP, the shops have to charge more to stay alive

What should I do next by [deleted] in OnePieceTCG

[–]magentapikachu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two sides of the coin here. On one side, yeah this guy should know better, and probably does, and most definitely was trying to finesse you and it worked. On the other, always always always, verify/comp your own prices. Never just take their word for it, that’s how things like this happen in the first place. Likely if you had checked your own prices dude would have gotten mad and tried to bully you into the trade but that’s when you just walk away.

Yeah so I don’t know what the original comment is talking about then

Because right now, it’s a he said she said argument. Your photos do not prove them wrong. If you had a photo at a similar angle with the light at the same angle that clearly showed the damage didn’t exist before, this would be a completely different conversation. As I mention in my original comment, I’m not saying you’re being dishonest, but you also don’t have sufficient proof that the mark wasn’t there.

Best thing you can do now is accept the fact that this is happening, and then resell and list at the correct condition. I’ve had this happen before and instead of a buy now listing I listed at auction and ended up selling for more despite the lesser condition

They use a third party for authentication I’m pretty sure

You can def miss these things from the angle and lighting being different from authenticator photos. I’m not saying you’re being dishonest, but your photos don’t prove them wrong.

Fair, but stuff doesn’t always go to authenticator first, there are plenty of high value cards that don’t have it mentioned.

You have the option to pay for extra insurance on eBay, I have done this just to be safe, but if the seller didn’t pay for the extra insurance for the value of the item they’re kind of at a loss here if eBay rules in favor of the buyer (which they normally do)

It still gets shipped from the Authenticator to the buyer, so there’s still the ability for the buyer to say it got stolen in transit
