    got it covered. Bid up to a load.

    I notice there is at least one experienced dealer in on the
    bidding. Maybe the folks who say "nobody reads the
    listings" are correct.

    EDITED TO ADD: This appears to be the first time that
    the seller has tried to sell something. Maybe he is
    just not bright, and thinks what he has done is "OK."
    (Only the title is totally misleading. The body copy
    FINALLY reveals the truth.) lol

    wrongo. Check his old items

    PGI card listed earlier
  • FavreFan1971FavreFan1971 Posts: 3,103 ✭✭✭
    Emailed the scammer his old auction. Also contacted the 2nd bidder to not accept a 2nd chance offer.

    Yup.

    I only looked at his FB. Nothing ever left from a buyer.

    I did not look for the one from a few days ago.

    For the money he spent on his bad attempts, he
    could have sent the thing to PSA and hoped to get
    lucky. Now, he has even worse problems.

    Here is his reply to my email saying I won't pay and i contacted the other bidders

    read the auction. evidently you didn't. your threats mean nothing to
    me. go ahead and contact ebay. i already have about your threats and
    you have no right to contact other bidders cause evidently they can
    read unlike derilects like you.
    thanks for your concern.
  • Did you tell him that he can derilict your balls?

    FavreFan, you did a very noble thing!!

    His email reply makes him appear like a real jerk. He got caught, why play innocent?
    Read the auction he says...yeah, he is wanting to feast off of the unsuspecting who look at the photo to see what they are getting....he knows the game he is playing. I guess calling on people for their games is useless, just play them back with their own game and that's how to handle them.


    By the way FavreFan, is the ebay ID you are using an alternate one in which you don't mind getting retaliatory negs? It seems like a pretty good record and an old one too. Or you have nothing to fear since you can easily make an argument to ebay about the misleading auction?
    Just wanting to learn.

    Guess he doesn't realize this is a blatent violation of eBay's policies.

    What does the fact that 'other bidders can read' have to do with your right to contact them? Does this mean that all literate Americans must live in stifling isolation into perpetuity?

    "Does this mean that all literate Americans must live in

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////

    That is certainly EBAY's position in the matter.

    The obvious reason for that position - and the
    one they prefer that people focus on - is that
    they do not want to lose money on deals that
    might go down outside of their venue.

    The less obvious reason - and the one they
    want no one to realize - is that they do not
    want to lose money when a victim is warned
    that a scam is in progress on the venue.

    I'll just comment a bit on PGI.

    PGI is the ultimate basement grading company. The owner is a dealer who used to set up (and may still) at the Hollywood Park shows in L.A. He admits to slabbing his own cards, and actually stated to another dealer (I was looking at the next table at the time) that he doesn't only grade his own cards, and that people are sending him their cards because "they apparently like getting 10s".

    I put them a couple notches below PRO.

    This was an ID I used at an old job to sell used crap. I forgot about it until this showed up. If I get a neg I could care less. I have my two regular Ebay accounts, one for selling, one for buying. The funny part is my selling account is 99.5% and my buying is 100%. I set the 2nd one up for problems with sellers. I got hit by Paul Deal with a neg on a Raw card he spent 25 cents on and a retalitory two for guys that did not pay.

    I was glad to help these guys out last night. This seller is pissed. It is hilarious

    This is the title - the pic shows this card.

    To slip in the PGI crap is just plain fraud - I would like to see this guy do a little jail time and get a new girlfriend named Buck!!!
