Good day BMMAC folk,
This morning, a new member listed a rd 1 GSP red auto in the products for sale section of the BMMAC website. The sellers name is 'johnrobertfletcher'.....he is new to the site and has not posted yet.
I am a bit concerned as he listed the card for only $500....which is a steal and the pictures he provides show that the card appears in good shape. However, since he is new, with no feedback, I am a bit concerned about doing a transaction with him as he is unknown.
Anyone know this seller or can provide feedback? Any suggestions on how to do a transaction where both parties are protected from fraud etc?
Thx

He signed up last week and asked if it was ok if he accepted Money orders or personal checks since he didn't have a paypal. I said NO. He then listed about 12 items without letting me know that he set up a Paypal, so instead of having peoples payments go to an unclaimed paypal, I deleted his items, then the next morning woke up to hear how big of a jerk I was and that he would tell people how bad I run the site. At this point, I just wanted to kick his ass, but looks like he's back to listing. I don't like this guy so far and will advise people not to buy from him until he sets up his feedback with a link to a ebay account with 100% feedback with multiple transactions. ------------- |

sounds shady, i think if he had a valid activeebay account he should know he could got alot more for it on there. selling here could help him avoid alot of ebay buyer claim hassle. ------------- Wanted: Cerrone parallels/ Ring Kings/ Round 2/3/4 Fight Mats! see: http://buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6837&title=judojitsu - Feedback/Wantlist/For Trade |

Thanks for the feedback...much appreciated
I agree, things seem fishy.....those are some sweet cards he is selling...almost too sweet for him to have flown under the radar in this small mma card world.
Anyone know where he is from....Canada or US etc?
I did put an offer on a card...as the price was beyond believable...though I will not complete the transaction with out some sort of puchase security in place.

| I would not buy from anyone who is new with no feedback. Amazing deal from a newbie usually means bad things for a buyer. Tell him to list it on ebay to protect yourself. Odds are he won't. |

If he was even semi legit, I would have thought he would have posted in here by now. ------------- |

He said Southpark from youtube directed him to the site. I won't let him list until he establishes some good deals. I told him to get on the forum, set up his feedback, log all the trades, and get established, because I don't trust new guys without track records. So if you deal with him, do it in a secure way. PAYPAL ONLY, and log it in the forum. Make sure tracking is included in your deal. I'm willing to let someone get established, but I'd proceed with extreme caution. ------------- |

Damn Rolinger...you kick ass.
Thanks for setting up a great place for MMA card trading. Your efforts at moderating this site are much appreciated!
Will let you know how the deal goes (if one actually takes place)....FYI - it was for a rd 1 GSP red auto....for $400! ------------- http://www.buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7021&KW=crashingwaves&title=crashingwaves - Feedback and cards for sale/trade |

Ban this guy already Rollie... He should be kissing your ass not telling what a jerk you are for wanting him to follow the rules....( I know I have broke a couple..lol) Guy's, don't let the possibility of good cards for cheap blind you!!! |

He's fine and is starting to do things the right way. Most people have a consumers mentality and think they can have it their way. He's already apologized and asking what he should do next, so it's just that little attitude adjustment that needed to happen. No need to ban him since he's trying to take my advice now. He's not a bad guy and we just started off on the wrong foot. Which is easy if you get on and try to tell me how it's going to be. ------------- |

I also spoke with him a bit more as well.....seems like a nice guy who just needs to sell some cards fast cause he is getting married. Congrats!
And for those wondering....I do plan on buying the rd 1 gsp red auto from him...just working out the details.
I will post feedback for him once the deal is done (assuming a feedback and trade thread is started)
Thanks all for the feedback ------------- http://www.buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7021&KW=crashingwaves&title=crashingwaves - Feedback and cards for sale/trade |

2nd rnd RNC by shields  but back on suject, even if he needed to move cards fast he could still move it on ebay for a little more just as fast and if he wants cash in hand im sure a LCS would be happy to pay him 500 cash for it.... still seems fishy to me. Im just saying thats all. ------------- http://www.buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5868&title=hawaiimma - My Feedback,Want List and Cards for Sale |

$400 is a stupid low price, be ready to file a claim if you dont see the card in 10 days. ------------- Wanted: Cerrone parallels/ Ring Kings/ Round 2/3/4 Fight Mats! see: http://buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6837&title=judojitsu - Feedback/Wantlist/For Trade |

There are RED FLAGS all over this guy. He is playing nice now so he can sell on this site. Don't care what the prices are not worth it for me.
Good luck crashingwaves on the purchase. I hope you get the card.

Wow! $400 is unreal. I remember a similar situation where a guy was selling rd. 1 boxes for around $350. That did not workout well so be careful.

What about asking for serial numbers on the cards that he is selling? I know the GSP isn't stamped but from the other ones that he has listed he did not put a number with them. If he lists the serial number than maybe one of us owns it already or know someone that does.

This is going to seem bad but the part that makes me think this is a scam is the intentional use of "god bless" at the end of all his posts. I don't know many people that would put that on the ending of a general post in a public forum like this. It just seemed to me like he was doing that as part of his "scheme."
I could be dead wrong though. I PM'd him asking about some other cards and he hasn't replied so that is a good thing for you Waves. If he was a thief then I'm sure he would have tried to get some money out of me as well.
Either way, I hope that I am wrond about him. Good luck Waves! ------------- http://www.buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7043&title=brandaloo-huge-sale-7-28-11 - SELLING MY COLLECTION! UPDATED 7/28/11 |
