Re: Build It And They Will Come - No More eBay - No More Fees

eBay says they do, but with the time restrictions, by time they do, you can
not regain your money.
eBay, Beckett and the quality and value you get for your $ when buying boxes
makes my collection worthless. The more difficult it is to get a specific
card should effect the value. These auctions, whether eBay or Yahoo or
whatever, do not attract the buyer/seller who know the value of an item. The
seller would like to see a real value and the buyer wants it for free.
Upper Deck floods their products with redemptions which the redeemer will
never see with any value or they will send something else THEY think is of
equal value because they can not deliver the item. The store got my money,
his distributor got their money and the company making the card got their
money. I just want the card I got in the packs to be there ... not being
delivered at a later date if at all.
