You didn't buy this at a "barn auction." You just barely bought it for $117.51 from starsforless, as everyone can see from your feedback. I'm sorry you got ripped off in that scam, but don't turn someone else into the victim.
His reply...
Good catch! Thanks for letting me know.
But he hasn't ended the auction.
Let's all e-mail this scammer the same message so he'll realize he's messing with a "group" of people that actually see what he's doing.
Maybe if we e-mail him A LOT we'll flood his e-mail account. hehehe
Lets all do something!

I'd really like to hear more on the story of where you got this card. As you can see from my great feedback score when I want a card, I'll get it. So please tell me the story of this gem so when I win it I can know the full story of this treat. Thanks!
This morning I checked my e-mail and I got a responce from the seller!
Here you go.

Well I picked up this beauty at a farm auction down in central Florida. My father-in-law is really into yard sales and semi-formal auctions so I went along with him to a few. Actually I just bid $130 and won a box of nearly 5000 mixed baseball and basketball cards. The basketball cards had nothing real special in them, but in the baseball cards I found this and a few others that I am not planning on selling. I must tell you, however, I cannot be for certain whether or not this card is real, but it looks good to me and I did find a few others that I am getting graded my beckett as we speak. Ever since them I'm on and off ebay selling and buying.
Thus one of the low-feedback newbie bidders will buy it, discover they've been screwed, and then use some variation of the "barn sale" pitch to screw someone else and get some of their money back. Just as this newbie is doing. I wonder how many times this Mantle reprint has been resold in the past year, how many naive hearts broken along the way, how many scam victims turned into scammers.
Bizarre how he sticks to the barn sale story even though his last feedback shows he recently bought it on eBay for $117.51. No talent at all as a con man.

Would it be stupid to e-mail him again and attach a link to this thread? I wanted everyone's input before I go and open the door for a clown and bring him where we all like to hang out. Probably not, right?

"Hey there, Just so you know. This card is not real, nor are the other "great" cards you have for sale. I really hope for the good of the hobby you don't go through and sell these fakes. Someone bidding on these will be a newbie and if they get hosed on ebay like this odd's are they'll never want to bid on ebay again, and never buy a baseball card again. Do everyone, and yourself a favor and don't sell fakes. If you insist, then get them graded buy PSA and then you'll make a lot of money if PSA slabs them. Thank you for your time, and I really hope you find it in yourself to not hose someone not familure to the hobby."
<< <i>I am happy to see he added that disclaimer. I e-mailed him again last night and I think I got him to feel a little bad. Tell me what you all think to what I said. And, no I didn't attach a link to the message boards.

Sorry Jeff, but this BOZO doesn't feel bad. He has now changed his feedback to "private" He doesn't want anyone else to catch his lies..........but he hasn't made the bidders' private. I guess the bidders can still be contacted and told they are buying REPRINTS.

No, instead he's made his feedback private. What an a**hole!
"All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
I think it's a great idea!
I emailed the high bidders on each of his three REPRINT auctions.....telling the "buyers" that they are bidding on not genuine articles. One high bidder has cancelled his bid.
Further it appears that there is a "shill" bidder on two of his auctions.
This BOZO won't give up!!! LMAO

<< <i>I would like to send this in to GEM... I'm sure it will come back as a 10. LOL.... If you ask the seller a question using ebay's ask the seller a question link. Souldn't the reply's also show up on the auction front page? I see that it's over $200 now. Mrcardsniper >>
The question and reply will only show if the seller so wishes.

This guy is going to make so much $$$ on crap!
This guy is really really really, dumb!
I emailed the buyer and told him he was buying a fake. I gave him a link to the auction where the D*rtBag seller had bought the reprint for $150.00. I hope the buyer comes to his senses!!
Perhaps others here could also clue in the buyer. Go to the auction and click on the buyers name. At his feedback page press the button CONTACT MEMBER

<< <i>I dunno. I have contacted many newbies and dumbasses to tell them they were walking into a scam. They wore me out. Half the time I think the high bidder was actually the seller using other accounts to bid it up. Maybe you have to get royally reamed before you really learn. >>
jrdolan,
I agree that we cannot save all newbie EBAYERS from getting scammed...............but heck, we spend enough time here on-line that spending 30 seconds enlightening those less fortunate then us seems like a good thing to do..........Perhaps it will gain us better Karma with the Card Collecting Gods.
This SCAMMER seller also had a 33 Gouday Ruth for sale. I was able to convince the buyer not to buy the card. I have had no responce from the mantle buyer.

At least he's not telling the "barn sale" story this time. That must have been pretty embarrassing, for his feedback to show his "barn sale" cards were just barely purchased as reprints on eBay. No wonder he's made everything private!
Ebay has been notified that you are messing up my sales, and they have cross-referenced you with the emails you sent me, and the emails you posted here. I'm still in the process of finalizing the investigation with ebay, so expect some emails sooner or later. Did you think I was that dumb? Oh Jeff btw, thanks for the link. It has been a blast watching you all waste your lives complaining about something that will eventually happen. Crime fighting on ebay! WHEW!! Man you guys are too much. All you have ben doing is breaking ebay policy. I've contacted ebay and seems like I'm ligit.. whether the cards are real or not. I did forget the disclaimer to begin with, thanks for the reminder. Oh Jeff, I did know that was you who sent the emails about where I got the card... I figured "you needed a good laugh".
In short, all I'm trying to say is, in the end... I win... you lose. Thanks for entertaining me this past week or so... You guys are too much!
NOW FLAME, FLAME AWAY MY LOVLIES!!!!

you creep.
<< <i>Do you guys realize what idiots you are? >>
i realize what an idiot, thief you are.. and that you should be repeatedly beaten in the face with coaxial cable..
Sellers may not disclaim knowledge of, or responsibility for, the authenticity or legality of the items offered in their listings.
Sellers should take steps to satisfy themselves that their items are authentic before listing them on eBay. If you cannot verify the authenticity of an item, do not list it.
The following examples violate eBay's Authenticity Disclaimer Policy:
"I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this item, so please bid accordingly."
"Vintage Handbag Chanel???"
Warning:
The repeated use of authenticity disclaimers could result in the ending of your listings and possible suspension from eBay. "
Authenticity disclaimers
probably not even the same dude.. just somebody with a new CU account wanting to stir up $h!t..
I really don't know how eBay continues to let this crap go on, private bidders should be reserved exclusively for specific types of auctions where it is actually logical, and private feedback should be eliminated entirely. One day auctions need to be tossed completely as well. That would put an end to nearly all counterfeit card scams.
<< <i>I'm still in the process of finalizing the investigation with ebay, so expect some emails sooner or later. >>
A silly lie. He's the one in trouble with eBay. This is his way of sticking his tongue out and saying "Nyah, nyah, I told on you guys too."
<< <i>Did you think I was that dumb? >>
If there was any doubt before, there isn't now.
