I bought a pack from him that came back as no good. His ebay feedback is now "private"

That is a sad story for me to hear... I bought one pack (luckily not too expensive) from this guy a few months ago after looking at his good feedback, and it arrived very nicely packed and looked fairly good on the wrapper/seal, though I'm no expert. At least he is just slightly smarter than the average resealer, since he provided careful packing and fast shipping. I'll keep an eye on this discussion and see where it leads. I have not sent the pack into GAI yet, but if I do I'll let everyone know how it goes. At the time, it was a bit worrying to see someone sell some GAI graded packs and some ungraded of the same release with both looking of equivalent quality, though. It made it look like the GAI rejected once were the ones being sold ungraded.

what's really sad ......is this rebuttal to the accusations..........

Right.

OK, now I'm 100% certain he is a fraud. What a poor excuse. At first, he seemed somewhat intelligent, but now I've changed my mind. Still, I'll send my pack in to get graded with my next batch and see how things go. Maybe only some percentage of his packs were resealed, but I kind of doubt it, since criminal behavior seems addictive for many. Sadly, looking at peaceonfloor's purchases, he might well have been purchasing the raw materials to "create" the pack he sold me.
