so today my 2 lots came in...or rather '2 lots' came in :wall:
ok, so i get that price charged on shipping doesnt reflect actual cost, but they knocked $0.00 off for 2 lots, so i paid $13.98 shipping on 48 cards :shock: and they came in the SAME bubble mailer, FIRST CLASS, and NO CASES/SLEEVES, they were in team bags with those thick decoys on each end of the 4 'packets'....
acutal PAID shipping by seller $2.90....
so i sent him an email that i dont see how he made any less than $7 on shipping and im not cool with that...taking into account ebay/paypal fees, which is what i do, i come up with $9+ in profit after supplies, and i know the seller likely deals in bulk, based on how much i see of his stuff on ebay and his feedback...
but there is another problem...
instead of getting the 2 lots i ordered, i got 1 and someone elses lot...and that is a HUGE problem, as the lot i ordered has a Troy Smith Press Pass Legends Red Ink which Beckett lists as an SP to 5, so if the guy who gets my lot realizes it and looks at completed listings, i doubt i get the lot, because i think i can get $30+ out of the Smith alone, which is double the price of the lot, and it has an additional 23 cards, 3 of which i could sell with ease for $7+ total and with 'reasonable' combined shipping, would put me at profit for both lots in 3 days with 44 other 'hit' cards, which is nice turn around...sure its not a huge payday, but i play the grind game 99% of the time, and getting to liquid with 44 new inventory cards in a week is great for me, because many times it takes 3-5 cycles to get to profit...
:snooty:
anyway, what did come in that is decent from the 1 lot that i actually ordered...
