Should I even bother with this auction...

So I've taken a sudden liking to the 1977 Chillee Willy discs. A seller listed a complete set on Ebay. He says in the auction description that they are all mint. No pictures/scans etc. in the auction. I email him and ask if he has any scans of the cards. His response: 'Sorry, no camera so no pictures. And they're coasters, not cards--3 5/8 inch diameter.'

Should I even bother???
Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    I say it is risky from an investment standpoint. The set is 80 bucks and a PSA 10 just sold for $1.81. It is the only 10 of Hargrove I think and not even for the grading fee. I would say no.

    Coaster, not cards?? What does he mean by this?? I would not bother if you are looking for the cards only. I have collected some of these cards, not just Chillee Willy disks, but others too and I know that there were some like were made for cup lids that are different than the cards I believe. I would check with a member named Marz, he seems to be very knowlegable on these cards. I have purchased a few from him in the past.

    I know--I was the high bidder on the Hargrove image

    I figured If I can pick up 10's that cheap, building the set should be pretty easy...
