People selling stuff they dont own!

Just to play devil's advocate, if you send someone a want list and they hunt an item down for you, you don't feel they're entitled to be paid for the service? Are you anti- car dealer and travel agent, too?

If I could actually support my family by buying and selling bats, I'd be doing it, too!

But if you tell me you need a lawn mower and I offer you one from Home Depot at a 25% mark-up, you're going to drive to the store and buy it for 25% less. It isn't like he ventured through the dark recesses of a volcanic crater to find it. I bet a Google search would have eventually, if not immediately, turned it up.

Its one thing to say hey I know where I can get you one... its a whole nother thing to say youll sell something thats owned by someone else and not mention you dont actually own it.

No one wants lists floating around of stuff they own for sale.

I think I know who you're talking about. I'm not a huge fan, either. I know I've asked for providence in the past and received a tepid response that seemed to infer that I should be happy with their unwritten vouching for the generic-looking bat/item, based on their name being a known one in the industry. I got the sense of a rather inflated sense of self-importance combined with a lukewarm interest in the actual hobby compared to their interest in the almighty dollar.

If that's your thing, so be it. I definitely understand how business works and all of that jazz, but it's certainly not the type of individual I prefer to do business with on game-used stuff, and I understand how you feel, OP.

That really sums it up. Again I know profit is what makes the world go round
but this guy is really a piece of work. To be clear the seller said he may have some of the items I'm looking for so I gave him a list. I wasn't looking for him to find me stuff cuz I'm too lazy to search google. Jeff Scott as an example has sold me many items in the past but has also connected me with a seller of an item that I want free of charge. Good business.
