He wont give any prices on the phone - just assures you that he ahs alot of great stuff (only the best!) and that you'll get a great deal.

All you'd have to do is confirm that he does indeed have the item and you could probably get his paypal account revoked.
 
the most Steve will do is say yes or no if an item is in his store - he will flat out refuse to cut you a price on the phone (it may be different for out-of-towners)
 
This has been a laugh a minute read! :D I really enjoyed going through this! Thanks! Also, as I am in Edmonton, I'll be able to experience this first hand.

Actually, twharry, I gotta give credit where credit is due - I think your suggestions are excellent.

Ryan - Seeing as how I don't have all that much to hunt down, you up to a 30-45 minute badgerfest of Greaseball?

Don't know if this was meant for me, but come Expo time, brother, COUNT ME IN! Make sure we get those masks we were talking about.
 
Ryan - Duh, of course meant for you. In all matters Fastball, I bow to your superior bastardry. :D
 
No, you don't wanna do that. Dig out some old reruns of WKRP in Cincinnati. Give Herb Tarlek a black turtleneck sweater instead of the 70s disco suits and you're getting close. Maybe hose him down with cooking oil to get the greasiness right.

Come to think of it, you could make a life-sized replica of Fastball Steve out of butter, vaseline and WD40, and it would STILL be less greasy than the real thing.

I doubt I could make it, I would have to sell some cards to raise enough funds, anyway, I have football every weekend too...


BTW: Is he really that disgusting, Q?
 
I want to see someone believe what he say's when he's selling his wax stuff.
Friday priced at $150/box Sunday priced at $39.95 pls tax lol
 
The man is a con, just not a very good one. I guarantee you that any price he has on a box is usually 1.5 - 2 times higher than any other table at any given show. Funny thing is, if you tell him that someone else is selling it for lower, he'll either:

1: Call the other dealer a crook (I once told another dealer at the expo that Steve called him a crook - We both had a good 5 minute laugh about it :D)
2: Try and convince you that you asked him about a completely different Box
3: Accuse you of trying to BS him out of his product.
 
LMAO !!! ohh yeah he will be a barrel of laughs this coming weekend for sure.

I know he's on Yonge St, and the coat of renting is so high, but how does he do it ?? He's not that close to the ACC or Skydome ( oops Rogers Center ).
If I ever wanted to see a place close down it would be his, Ahh is Legends of The Game still open ?? I want to buy some 1991 Donruss Baseball from them for $16.95/box lol
 
No idea what the rent is at that store, but its just a short walk south of one of the 2 busiest street corners in the country. Tons of tourists and people who otherwise wouldn;t know better in the area, so its easy to take advantage of the situation.
 
A little OT again but, do you remember when the Skywalk to the Dome had that hobby place, now there brings back memories of high priced stuff.
$4 for a Kelly Gruber card, or 89 Donruss MVP of George Bell $6.95 lol -- I think that he where he got taught how to sell, and whatever happened to that one place on Yonge near the Hall of Fame, it was above a T-shirt store I think, they were cool

I will say that Toronto is the best sports town, but mostly over-priced also if they are near Downtown.
 
Hello,

I can't believe I missed this thread.

For anyone attending any shows in the near future, and visit Fastball's booth,

DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT STEVE'S FOREHEAD... THAT SH** WILL KILL YA'

Approach the table with caution !

Thanks
Eli
 
Every time I walked by all I heard was do you think we need more light? The stores image is at stake here!!!! We need more light so people can see our name. Where are all the customers!!! LOL I just kept laughing.
