I really don't look for these things but there appears to be alot of fraudulent auctions on eBay. I am somewhat of a newbie but even I can smell these through my DSL!!

I have been buying over 4 years on Ebay now. Not been intentionally burned once. GIGANTIC KNOCK ON WOOD!!
Most fraudulent sellers reek of pungent dung and are easily avoided.

Does that mean he dosen't want them?
<< <i>ONLY A FEW COLLECTORS HAD THE OPPURTUNITY OF OWNING SUCH A INEXPENSIVE LOW GRADE >>
What does that mean? Inexpensive --- like $5,000? Low grade --- like MS67. Or is this his subtle way of telling us the real grade?

Again, this could be good, but, it's borderline insane to take his word for it.

<< <i>I'll bet the winner at $5K is a shill bidder. The seller will now have to pony up around $250 forebay final value fees. >>
He'll just refuse to pay and the seller won't have to pay.
A real racket,,but if e-bay won't police it's self too bad

for anyone who hasn't seen this, especially those versed in "ebay investigations" this buyer/seller combo is beyond suspicious.
this auction went for $5k, the high bidder (buyer/seller) just happening to know the reserve was $4,650 higher than his previous bid. suspicious enough.
the buyer/seller still has one item up for auction, an autographed shirt, the exact same shirt, "coincidentally" that the buyer/seller happened to purchase, for $200 less than the starting bid, one week before the buyer/seller put it up for auction.
i guess i'll just watch and see if the buyer/seller makes a bid on this shirt too. hey, i'm sure these are as "rare" as 3" diameter IHP's.
anyway, if anyone knows procedures for getting ebay to investigate or has a sense whether an investigation will go anywhere, let me know. thanks.
