So far all my autographs (6) have been Ferengi - Quark and Nog. I hope it's not the same with the rest of the case. But the good news was that one box had two autos in (both Quark). Anyway just a few questions which might help me: 1. What sort of prices will the various sub-sets be going for? 2. Is the clear paper which sets are usually wrapped-in available at specialist card dealers or is this just a normal thing available in ordinary shops? 3. Some strange Skybox redemption sets also arrived which featured the core crew and a cast shot. Are these cards from some previous set and what are they worth?

I just recently purchased a used shrink wrapper with a huge roll of wrap and a couple heat guns. Wraps up a set really nicely. You do have to be careful opening sets wrapped this way as it's very easy to damage a card trying to get it off. -J!m mailto:encore@xmission.com To Unsubscribe from TrekChat send and put "unsubscribe trekchat" in the body without the quotes. -- Previous message archives are available via WWW at: or via FTP at: ftp.xmission.com --in-- /home/ftp/pub/lists/trekchat/archive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Lynne Stewart" Subject: Re: (TrekChat) DS9 Date: 03 May 1999 16:10:55 -0400 Archive and Unsubscribe information can be found at the bottom of this message. -- 3.

What is that? I am aware of the UK version of the 1979 Topps The Motion Picture set, but I had not heard of a UK version of the 1976 Scanlens set. I thought there was an Australian version and a New Zealand version, which were the same except for the wrappers. (Although I have also herad that the coloring on the backs of the cards differs very slightly between the Australian and New Zealand cards. I have the set and some backs are slightly different in coloring than others, but I have never been sure whether that is just due to some cards being more faded, or whether there is any consistent difference between Australian and New Zealand cards.) In any event, I have extra singles of 60 of the 72 cards - with no certainty of which are Australian or which are New Zealand, or perhaps UK. They are for sale for $2 per card, with better pricing for larger quantities.

I think the way it works is the New Zeland the same as the UK one, or it gets used interchangably...so there is a UK/Regina and Allens/New Zeland set, an Australian set and a US set. I have never had any cards that were from the UK set, but it was my understanding there is no difference in the two overseas one, but I can't confirm from experience.

Other dealers also got a few free sets of these in their cases. In case anyone's interested I got nothing but Quarks and Nogs in my entire case, oh! apart from one Koloth. Bit of a disaster really. Even worse is that the prices for this set are extremely low, at least on eBay. I'm not sure if it's due to the smaller popularity of DS9 or the poorer quality of the set.

Brian is a fellow who sells on eBay and on Lynne's auction. I've done business with him in the past. He recently contacted me to see if I'd be interested in a few Trek items he wanted to sell and here's the way the conversation went: He said he had a set of Australian Scanlens cards but didn't know what they were worth, so I should make an offer. I said I, too, had no feel for their value, so I put a posting up on TrekChat to see if anyone had the= info. I got back a response from Lynne, saying they ranged from $150 to 300 for a Mint set. Brian then wrote me, saying he also got the same info and asked what I'd be willing to offer. Here's some excerpts from there on: I wrote to Brian: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >Yeah, I guess I wasn't real surprised, since I knew that the other scanlens (I thought it was British, but apparently not) was 'way up there.

I've bid on eBay a couple of times against friends and it made me uncomfortable. This is a hobby, not a career. I don't need the stress. 2) I thought we had a deal and don't feel I should have to "reaquire" what we had already agreed on. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from selling them elsewhere, but I already did all my homework and financial planning in order to earn these cards, so I'm just not prepared to do anything else. I would appreciate your telling me how it is that Lynne offered to buy them if she already knew I was buying them. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> And all he had to say in return was "Sorry you feel that way" or words to that effect. No reply to my question about how it was that Lynne would have offered to buy them knoiwing that I was buying them. I know Lynne pretty well and I doubt VERY MUCH that she would have tried to make him kill a deal already in progress. I guess wehat I'm trying to say, here, is that, in any future dealings you might have with Brian Bowers, don't assume you bought merchandise from him until it's in your hands.

Obvioulsy, at some point, an item is not still supposed to be 'on the table' and I would say at the point you two were in your covnersations, you were right to feel the item was sold to you. I assumed from our chat, he was looking at offers, and wanted to best possible deal for his item, and I encouraged him to auctionne it so he could get the most for his money, since he had expressed a need for cash. It takes me back to one reader's suggestion that what I add to 'the book' is trading and selling ettiqutte to encourage joy and happiness to the net experience rather the nfrustration and hurt feelings. I don't even want the set, I wanted it for a customer, who can easily wait for the next set, so it was pretty unnecessary...

Of course that does not necessarily mean it is worth your time and trouble to try to enforce it, but once an offer is made and accepted, both sides are legally obligated to follow through. At that point, the buyer may be passing up other opportunities to buy the item and the seller may be (is supposed to be) passing up other opportunities to sell the item. That is the concept of detrimental reliance. If you rely on a contract to your detriment and the other party reneges, that party is liable to make good on the loss. Of course, if the item is readily available elsewhere at the same price, the loss may be meaningless. In this particular case, that may not be so. If the buyer has to pay more to get the item elsewhere, the seller is responsible for the difference. Of course, if the difference is $50 or $100, then a lawsuit is not practical. But let's get past the idea that it is legally okay to make a deal and then change your mind. Interesting that we have heard nothing from the person who offered to sell the item, then backed out. If he has a different version of what happened, it would be nice to hear it. Otherwise, it would be nice if he did what he agreed to do, even if he has to spend some money to make someone else whole.

Now, the odds are catching up to me. I want to alert everyone to another possible fraudulent seller of TREK items. His name is Kevin Kuenkler and he has had items on Lynne's auction in the past. Let me be clear about this: this is the first such instance of such a thing on Lynne's auction; it has simply never happened before. I'm gonna repeat that for those who only skim-read their emails: this is the first such instance of such a thing on Lynne's auction; it has simply never happened before. I bid on and won several items from Kevin Kuenkler on Lynne's auction (2 different groups of items on different dates). I mailed out payment and, after approx 6 weeks (2 months on the first group), I had received nothing, so I eMailed him, asking when they went out. No Reply! I repeated the eMail once or twice and eventually eMailed Lynne, asking if she could contact him. She did and he replied that the stuff went out. Apparently, he made the same claim about stuff won by 2 other bidders who also had not received their items. Lynne gave him my contact info and asked him to contact me. He said he would. He has not done so. I wrote him one more time and haven't heard back to this date. Watch out for this guy: Kevin Kuenkler 8005 N. Ramsey Rd.

Maybe competitive bidding works when there is a reasonable supply and a reasonable idea of what is market price, but when good friends are after the same item in absurdly short supply, then everything breaks down. What happens when one friend, who knows the point at which another friend will stop bidding, goes just beyond that? What happens when one friend just has more money to spend on cards? I think it is very hard for friends to remain friends if they keep trying to outbid each other on hard-to-find items. I like having a few friends with whom I can discuss auction strategies. I like helping a friend find something, and then later the friend helps me find something. How can we engage in cutthroat outbidding and remain friends?? But Lynne's points are also quite legitimate. My gripe is not with buyers or sellers, but with Skybox, for getting us addicted to these cards and then artificially restricting the supply. That has nothing to do with the Scanlens set, of course. But at least that is one that pops up regularly for a reasonable price.

The presumption here would have to be two good friends, who honestly want the same item, both know the item is rare and likely not seen again or at the very least not too darn often, otherwise waiting would be cool. For the sake of this argument, we would assume most everyone's hearts are in the right place. One other thing...dealers Vs collectors. I admit, I have bid against friends in the past, as a collector, though I try to resist my evil impulses, but if I am buying solely for the intent to resell, I don't bid against friends, . I am not going to add items to my inventory at a friend's expense. (there are exceptions, I suppose, no rule is pure black and white, I have one customer (scanlens set) who directs me to bid for him) As a collector, I tend to be a bit more competitive/ Lynne To Unsubscribe from TrekChat send and put "unsubscribe trekchat" in the body without the quotes. -- Previous message archives are available via WWW at: or via FTP at: ftp.xmission.com --in-- /home/ftp/pub/lists/trekchat/archive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ben Meyers Subject: Re: (TrekChat) Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 13:06:00 -0400 Date: 12 May 1999 09:59:34 -0400 (EDT) Archive and Unsubscribe information can be found at the bottom of this message. -- I had a situation last year where I'd bid on a way cool and rare ST card set on Auctionuniverse.

I found the Internet fraud Watch and was discouraged to read there is little protection for private individuals who sell items on auctionnes.... Online Auction Tips Understand how the auction works. Many online auctions simply list items that people want to sell. They don't verify if the merchandise actually exists or is described accurately. Check out the seller. For company information, contact the state or local consumer protection agency and Better Business Bureau where you live and also where the company is located. Look at the auction site's feedback section for comments about the seller. Be aware that glowing reports could be "planted" by the seller, and that a clean complaint record doesn't guaranty that someone is legitimate. Be especially careful if the seller is a private individual. Most consumer protection laws and government agencies that enforce them don't deal with private sales, so if you have a problem, it could be impossible to resolve. Get a physical address and other identifying information. You'll need the seller's name, street address and telephone number to check them out or follow up if there is a problem. Don't do business with sellers who won't provide that information. Ask about delivery, returns, warranties and service. Get a definite delivery time and insist that the shipment is insured. Ask about the return policy. If you're buying electronic goods or appliances, find out if there is a warranty and how to get service. Be wary of claims about collectibles. Since you can't examine the item or have it appraised until after the sale, you can't assume that claims made about it are valid. Insist on getting a written statement describing the item and its value before you pay. Use common sense to guide you. Ask yourself: Is what the seller promises realistic? Is this the best way to buy this item? What is the most I am willing to bid for it? Pay the safest way. Requesting cash is a clear sign of fraud. If possible, pay by credit card because you can dispute the charges if the goods are misrepresented or never arrive. Or use an escrow agent, who acts as a go-between to receive the merchandise and forward your payment to the seller. Another option is cash on delivery (COD). Pay by check made out to the seller, not the post office, so you can stop payment if necessary. Let the auction site know if you have a problem. Some sites investigate problems like "shills"e; being used to bid prices up or other abuses of the auction system. They may also want to know about sellers who don't deliver or misrepresent their wares. A bad record may result in a seller being barred from using the site again.

In that situation, the seller gets a windfall no matter what (unless the sell was unfortunate enough to pay a fortune ofr it), but I see the value of friendship as more important than increasing the windfall for the seller of a unique item.

I also find it advantageous to wait until the last minute to bid in some cases. If you know a friend found it forst and is waiting for a lst minute bid, I would respect that. If you have a good faith belief the friend has dropped out of the bidding, then go for it. Better yet, contact the friend and ask! And then there is always one person I know who occasionally calls me to say he needs me to bid against a friend of his, so he can then outbid me and get on top without having to outbid the friend while the friend is on top!! But if we are getting this far into auction etiquette, then we have to start defining "friend." In some ways, everybody I talk to on the net, or buy from, or sell to, or trade with, is a "friend." But if I never bid against any of them, I would not add much to my collection!! So when I vote against bidding against friends, I mean a fairly small group of good friends, not a large circle of collecting associates.

Kevin Kuenkler kckink@webtv.net I urge caution in dealing with this individual. He auctionned off items and took payment from 5 people and none of them received their items. I sent a letter requesting he respond to these individuals and when that received no response, called him. He replied that all items had been shipped out. I am not a skeptic at heart, but I do not believe 5 packages could get lost. I told him I would send him the email addresses of all affected parties and he needed to contact them and resolve the issue which he said he would. (and did not) A week later, one of the buyers called him to find out what was going on and he claimed not to have gotten my email with all the details (you know...the one sent 5 minutes after O hung up the phone from him) He told one customer he was having family problems and didn't have access to the items and offered to send another collectors the items he won free after the customer complained about being charged $7 for shipping on 10 cards worth $3. The amount he took was small, the principle large. People need to appreciate the responsibility that goes along with accepting people's money. Once you have their money, it becomes your priority to get their items to them promptly and safely. People like him need to grow up and join the adult world. I believe that occasionally life can interfere with our hobbies, but there are ways to address even that so that buyers are not left standing out in the cold. Anyone needing more information, can contact me at lynne@jklm.net I'm thinking we should all write him a letter..maybe if he's flooded with offended collectors, he'd take it seriously :giggle: Lynne Lynne I wonder how much it would take to buy a soapbubble if there was only one in the world ( Mark Twain) James & Lynne Stewart http://www.jklm.net/index.html KLM Enterprises, Inc. 2805 Oakcliff Ct Johnson City, TN 37601 Home of the AMOK TIMES NEWSLETTER-Info on Star Trek Cards KLM CARDS-Trek cards and stuff for sale!

Then your friend gets nothing and you spent way more than you would have otherwise. How would that leave you feeling?

First, we will be adding 'blessings' to the consignor's name. If I have done business with the consignor,then a small image of a cross will appear next to their name. A white cross means we have done at least one transaction, a silver cross means we have done several deals, a gold means the highest 'blessing' meaning I have implicit trust. New consignors will be required to offer references and can't add items until I hear back from the references. For those people I already know well, I may not require this, but if I do, dont' get your feelings hurt, I want to offer bidders assurances if they need it. The blessings will be my personal 'stamp of approval' I still encourage people to leave feedback as needed, I will be working on making the feedback listing easier to use as well. As an auctionne service, I can't be responsible for the transactions I don't personally deal with, but I try to help out with problems as I am able, this is the first one we have hit such a wall with.

It's a wonderfully entertaining and hilarious look at TREK culture, with profiles of fans, including the Arkansas juror who attended the Whitewater trail in her Starfleet Commanding Officer's uniform every day, and an Orlando dentist whose practice is named STARBASE DENTAL, and interviews with all the original cast members, and many new ones, who all offer their own anecdotes and personal opinions on the phenomenon. TREKKIES is the first of two films opening in the coming weeks with ties to Gene Roddenberry's show; Mark Altman and Rob Burnett's entertaining coming-of-age, romantic comedy FREE ENTERPRISE opens on June 4th. ENTERPRISE stars William Shatner in a supporting role as "himself," who enlists the film's characters to help create his dream production of a rap-filled, six-hour musical version of JULIUS CAESAR where he'd play nearly all the parts. http://www.trekdoc.com http://www.freeent.com To Unsubscribe from TrekChat send and put "unsubscribe trekchat" in the body without the quotes. -- Previous message archives are available via WWW at: or via FTP at: ftp.xmission.com --in-- /home/ftp/pub/lists/trekchat/archive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ben Meyers Subject: (TrekChat) Spencer's gold enterprise Date: 20 May 1999 15:20:10 -0400 (EDT) Archive and Unsubscribe information can be found at the bottom of this message. -- Hi.
