Evidently, some seller is using a stolen scan for one of his auctions. He made the mistake of not hosting the image himself. The owner of the scan found out about it and fixed him good

Link to auction.

That is absolutely HYSTERICAL !!!!!
I wonder if those 2 bidders are going to retract their bids pronto.

Equally as funny is that one of the bidders is a "virgin" eBayer

Wonder if the seller saw it yet? I'd like to see his expression.

My dumb question is how did someone get the brokeback mountain comment on there. Did he tap into the sellers E-Bay account?

If you go to his store here is greeting:

HI BUYERS HERE AT JC SPORTS CARDS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO TELL YOU ABOUT US FORMLEY I WAS AL166516 EBAY SCREWED UP I LOST THAT ACCOUNT I LOST ALL FEEDBACKS IN WHICH I TRIED TO RETRIEVE BUT KAYJEN2006 IS STILL THE SAME AS AL166516 TRUE AND FAIR TO ALL BUYERS THANKS I HOPE TO SERVEYOUSOON

maybe a dictionary and grammar book would boost sales.

my message to JC is that having the same initials as the most famous person in history does not always guarantee success.

JC, but not a Superstar yet.

Brian48 · February 3, 2006 8:28AM

Nah. What happened was that JC used a URL to the other guy's image file. When the other guy found out that JC was stealing his bandwidth by referencing his image file in the auction, it was just a simple matter of replacing the image file with something else since he was the one hosting it. In this case, another image file with the inviting comment for broke back love

I wonder if anyone has answered him yet

Brian48 · February 3, 2006 9:58AM

Heh. He's viewing an image stored in his browser cache and is completely oblivious to what's going on

theczar · February 3, 2006 10:07AM

Although I will never see that movie (I do recommend Muholland Drive for the greatest woman on woman love scene in a mainstream release, follow by Bound as my number 2), I did some research since there is nothing for me to bid on to tonight. Notice this quote:
i;'m selling i like to let you all know i'm marriied and 2 daughters so please lmk or show me what you see thanks so much

Then the plot of the movie lifted from:
Brokeback Mountain Plot

Ang Lee's adaptation of E. Annie Proulx's story Brokeback Mountain stars Jake Gyllenhaal and
Heath Ledger as young cowboys named Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar. Each of them is hired to corral sheep on the title location and they soon bond very closely. Their platonic relationship explodes into a physical one, but eventually the two are separated when their job comes to an end. Although the two follow different life paths -- one becoming a father of two and the other marrying into a successful business -- they have a reunion years later.

Co-incidence? You decide.

I guess that since he says that he doesnt send cards for grading, that means he likes it raw?

zef204 · February 3, 2006 11:37AM

Did they pull the picture?

TNP777 · February 3, 2006 11:52AM

Looks like somebody pulled it. Highly amusing while it lasted.

Whoa - talk about irony. Here's another item this guy has listed.
item# 7004317913. (sorry - I don't do links

)

zef204 · February 3, 2006 12:00PM

He got smart. This picture is loaded through eBay.

I saved the webpage and uploaded it to live in eternity

Permanent Link to the Dumb A$$es scam

TNP777 · February 3, 2006 3:34PM

hmmph - another example. Another "borrowed" picture that is still being hosted by the original seller. I already emailed both the original seller and the current one....I'd like to own one, but only if the guy I'm buying it from actually has the card in hand. I also asked seller #2 to send me a pic/scan of the back of his card.
