Because when he goes to sell a piece later on it's worth a ton more. __________________

What kind of business plan is that? He's not going to be making a living by buying up lotuses and sitting on them then selling one lotus/year for an extra few hundred dollars. He buys and sells. People accuse him of hoarding but you don't run a business by hoarding your merchandise.

He's just doing it for the fun of it. I doubt Dan Bock is concerned about cash-flow.

Power is probably the cheaper end of Dan's overall inventory values. Not only does he run his online enterprise, but he also stocks three stores in the Madison area with inventories that are probably in the six figure range. Ben's explanation is probably more on the nose. I think Dan just has fun driving people crazy. __________________

I absolutely did take that picture. Out of curiosity, why did you think I didn't take that picture? The Lotuses from that picture were some of the ones I had at that time. you can see some of them have the inventory numbers on them from their ebay listings.

I love that you are on the forums now. Now since everyone on Ebay seems to see you reneging on auctions (I've seen it across the boards) would you care to explain yourself?

Yep, one of my "won" auctions was too.
Not only that Dan, but you have "or best offer" on every single item you sell on EBay. I have submitted offers for. 01 less than the price and you've declined it. I'm half tempted to buy just to leave negative feedback for both reasons.
I know his prices are way higher than anyone else on the Bay, and CS sucks....why would I spend more than the cheapest, NM buy it now???I wouldn't: -) ...short 2 he drive to Madison, maybe I'll come visit...

In an operation as big as Dan's disappointments are inevitable.If any genius programmers out there can stock balance between TCG, Amazon, eBay, and other platforms those disappointments won't be inevitable anymore.

You can't defend the indefensible. See his lame attempts on Reddit to explain away the same thing, which keeps happening over, and over, and over again. quote:

This has nothing to do with it, and if you believe any explanation based on that you're quite easily fooled. Crystal Commerce has hiccups but manages inventory across platforms fine enough. The issue is when cards get bought up and he just refuses to send out so he can make more money by relisting them at a higher price later. Honorable sellers would make an effort to contact customers and fulfill what they can, which he doesn't do.

I don't believe that Dan needs to jeopardize his reputation to get by as a businessperson. We'll agree to disagree on that if you feel otherwise.

For every negative feedback from us being out of stock on an item after the price went up, I can link you to 20 POSITIVE feedbacks for the same card at the pre-spike price. When a card spikes, we sell infi of them. The more you ship, the more you lose randomly. Our 99.9% feedback with 7000-9000 a month speaks for itself.

Using your positive feedback to attempt to justify your negative feedback does nothing. I figured your response would look like "LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK" so in reality if there was any doubt it was you initially, you just confirmed it for me, thanks! quote:

Because those "genius" programmers would rather work at Amazon or eBay and make the guaranteed money.

The 'genius' way to avoid over-selling on multiple platforms is to not list the same item for sale on multiple platforms. Sellers who use this excuse have to know there is risk and have to accept the negative feedback they get because of it.

Well there is of course that which is the simple and reasonable conclusion, but thinking some magic programmer is going to fix all your problems is silly because he would made oodles more money fixing somebody else's problems.
