Scam? Vintage PSA Cards

eBay seller

He found vintage cards at an estate clearout and had them PSA graded. He accepted PayPal in a previous closed auction for a medical machine and he now has it relisted. There are some red flags, but I wanted to see what you guys think. I am not planning on bidding on aything, I was just looking at the Mantle.

    Very acceptable PSA 2 Mick, too bad about the minor marks on the back, but nice centering!

    Why does he accept PayPal on a $1,500 ultrasound machine, but not on any of the cards?

    Looks legit to me too. Ask him on the paypal.

    Good question, but to give him benefit of the doubt, he may have not ticked off the right option. The guy I got my Mantle from last year, his auctions at first didn't accept PayPal until someone pointed it out to him, then he revised the listings. I got my card paying with PayPal, it arrived and all was well. So... if interested enough in it, I'd ask him.
  • looks like a legit seller.

    Looks like it is prolly OK.

    He was AWOL for six-months. That always points to
    the possible hijacking of a dead-person's account.

    Most/ALL of his sat ratings are from 11/12 07.
    That is a MINOR flag of a jacking; and a setup
    for a large burn.

    I do not like the "estate sale" BS.

    Maybe, as was noted, he forgot to add PayPal
    to the listings.

    I think I would ONLY buy with PP.

    I asked if he would take PayPal and never got a response.

    No response = don't bid, IMO. Too bad, but another one will come along.
