Broadway Ricks Auction
I am new to the Game Used hobby. I saw some really nice things at Broadway Ricks Auction and was wondering how this auction site was, if anyone had any problems, nice feeedback, etc.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Steve

Re: Broadway Ricks Auction
I think the best way to sum Rick up would be that he has a lot of great stuff and a little bit of "iffy" stuff.
He also can be a decent guy to work with, but he is not always, uh, trustworthy. Personally, and this is a gripe about him that I haven't read before, I hate how on ebay he'll start something off cheap and then yank it at the last minute because it isn't going for "his" price. I have never won a large-ticket item of his because of this, and by now i rarely even bid.
Here's how I deal with him: if i find something i like (and he does have tempting items!), I'll research the heck out of it to make sure I know EXACTLY what I'm bidding on, and then I'll bid happily.

About a month and a half ago, he had a Bobby Grich Rochester Red Wings flannel jersey on ebay. The day before the auction ended he sent me a note saying it was taken off ebay because it wasn't getting enough action. I thought that was what reserve prices were for. I just don't like the way they do business.

I like to stay away from dealers who I know have commited fraud, but like I said, if you don't mind the possibility of being defrauded and as long as you feel going in that you are aware of his history and are still getting a good deal, then to each his own.
