HOCKEY CARD COLLECTING

My collections

My list of good traders

I have been trading on-line since 1999. Initially I did a lot of trading, mainly through the old Beckett site. Nowaday I am trading less after deciding to concentrate on buying the cards I want instead of spending lots of money on boxes.

These are people I have dealt successfully with on one or several occations. Name in CAPITALS denotes multiple trades.
I have added some information about successful deals since early 2005. Eventually I will shorten the list by deleting persons I haven't dealt with for years.
 

Unfortunately I have a list of bad traders too, at the bottom of this page. This list include bad eBay experiences.

BAD  traders’ list

I am sorry to announce a new member to this community: Daniel Will, Frudenberg-Boxtal in Germany. We had traded before. This time, May 2007, I sent him a lot of Swedish regular cards for an equivalent number of German regulars. A month later he promised he'd send the cards. Now we have entered August 2009 and I still have not rec'd anything from this German gentleman. 

·        Chris Scafiro, never fulfilled his part of the trade.

·        David Jenkins, Goderich Ontario. On January 19th 2006 I sent hims three jersey cards, trading for a Daniel Sedin auto and a Matt Foy RC. Never rec'd ... And the cards he was supposed to have sent were still on his tradelist six weeks later.

·        H.J Duhamel, hu_trader@hotmail.com

·        Jake Losinger, Beckett id finattic, elmes@penn.com

·        Jiri Marel,  hockeyshop@post.cz, Benesova 1526, Hradec Kralove, 50012 Czech Republic, never fulfilled his part of our second trade. Ripped off several others, too.

·        Michael Sasso, eBay id eye4nick, 35 auto cards won 2002-10-07 – cash sent, he claims cards were sent, the were never seen and he quit answering my emails

·        Mike Simon, edgesports@hfx.eastlink.ca  never fulfilled his part of our second trade.

·        Perry Walker, Gibson_1331@hotmail.com, Beckett id at the timeGibson_1331, more recent id Eddie30TML. Deal was finalized early September 2003, I sent my cards on the 6th. He got a CuJo jsy + Fitzgerald auto, I never got my Steve Shutt jsy + Ric Jackman auto. Not responding to e-mails.

·        Randy Van Goethem, Beckett id iampoor

·        Stephane Savard, steff052@telus.net never sent the cards I paid him $4 (!!!) for …

·        Steve Avgoustakis, stovokor@videotron.ca I bought cards that never arrived. No reply to my e-mails.

·        Yves Martin, Beckett id eastsidecards yves@eastsidecards.every1.net. Never fulfilled his part of the deal. Ripped of several others, too.

Since November 2006 I have had three negative experiences with eBay sellers. All were paid promptly thru paypal.
Mid-November 2006 I made a 4-card-purchase from kingstoncollectibles, Lyle Leeman, 13-395 Yonge Street, Kingston Ontario. I never received.
Early June 2007 I made a 5-card-purchase from madisoncards, Louis McNatt, Russellville AL 35653. I never received and I have reasons to believe the cards were never sent.
August 2007 I made a 3-card-purchase from ac340-0, Alain Courtemanche, 118 Westmount, Cowansville Quebec J2K 1S5. I have yet to receive. No replies to my e-mails and the seller is no longer a registered user.
