I'm guessing you have. I'm not exaggerating when I say this card has been run at least bi-weekly for like 2 years, if not more. Always at the same price (which is 3x its value). I smile every time I see it. I just don't understand why someone would do that.

"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah)
Uhraah!
Bass!
Ooh White, White
Ooh White, White
Ooh White, White
(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin’ through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High price) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)
Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin to gain except killin’ your brain
(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
(Blow!)
(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang
(Pipeline) pure as the driven snow
(Connected to my mind) and now I'm havin’ fun, baby!
(High price) it's getting kinda low
(Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, baby!
(Don't let it blow your mind away) Baby!
(And go into your little hideaway ‘cause white lines blow away)
(Blow! )
A million magic crystals, painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!
(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! (Blow!)
(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)
(Don’t you get too high) don’t you get too high baby!
(Turns you on) you really turn me on and on
(When you gonna come down) my temperature is risin’
(When the thrill is gone) no, I don’t want you to go
A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He’s out on bail and out of jail
And that’s the way it goes
Raah!
(Kane! Sugar! Kane! Sugar! Kane!)
Athletes rejected, governors corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I’m broke and it’s no joke
It’s hard as hell to fight it, don’t buy it!
(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! (Blow!)
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, girl!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
C’mon!
Raah!

(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This aint funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose
(Hey man, you wanna cop some blow?)
(Sure, what you got, dust, flakes or rocks?)
(I got China White, Mother of Pearl, Ivory Flake, What you need?)
(Well yeah, well let me check it out man, just let me get a freeze)
(Go ahead man, stuff I got should kill ya!)
(Yeah man th-that’s that’s raw, wuh)
(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!
Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)

This is pretty fun . I'm going to do this until the card is no longer offered. Since it's 2+ years now, it could be a while.
yeah Over-Golded"
Oh wait, it's not 1986 any more. Nevermind.
I guess he is Jamaica's all-time HR leader.

I'm no eBay selling expert, but I have listed my fair share of stuff and relisted on occassion. It costs money each time. I figure with all the relisting this card has undergone, he'll have to get about $200 just to break even. It's kinda sad.

I want to see how far we can take this. Don't forget this card was listed weekly or bi-weekly for about 2 years before I even started this thread!

This seller would save lot's of money by having a store, he can then re-list the card every month

P.S. Just for frame of reference, a PSA 10 sold on 3.31.08 for $128.13 and a PSA 9 sold on 3.18.08 for $34.00.
he can write off this stuff as a hobby loss, against other legit earnings, that way he may be able to pocket cash he is making.....
i have colleagues who buy laundro-mats in order to lose money on purpose...similar thing
<< <i>Thanks, everybody, for a very entertaning thread. This seller caught my eye a loooong time ago with a PSA 8 1972 Matlack/Stanton/Capra #141. He lists and re-lists what seems like every 5 days and is asking a whopping $99.99. Bear in mind this is only an 8. When I first saw the listing I thought that it had to be a typo...as if he really was asking $9.99. Yet here it is, once again, at $99.99. Can't he see that this card in 8 routinely sells for 6-10 bucks? I see 9's go for 15-25 all the time.

As I was reading down the thread I couldn't help thinking about the idiot who kept relisting the 72 mets rookies card with stanton in the title instead of matlack (who was arguably better) for $99. I was going to look it up and post it to this thread. Didn't realize it was the same guy!

<< <i>lol why not put Morgan or Brock in the title?? >>
Because Lopes has the bigger photo. Don't you know the rules Laz?
That's the only thing that makes sense about this whole auction!
<< <i>great i'll be famous then. there's a saying a sucker is born everyday. you are not one at least. i'll put a private listing therefore it remains anonymous when it is sold so no one is going to bother them about the purchase price. thanks for the heads up. >>
HE DOES!!! For the low low price of just $5 per additional card!!! What a complete DB.
What's up Doc?
love this post, same seller has a psa 8 81 lopes for 24.99 for over a year now
1. He is truly delusional as to the value of the Gooden; or
2. He paid $129.98 for the card (or there abouts) and is hell-bent on not losing a single penny on the Gooden.
Of course, I could be the delusional one in NOT accepting his price of $129.99 because one might not come around again. Oh wait, there's one here and here. Maybe I'll bid on them, likely win it for around $43.51 and offer to sell it to San Carlos Computers for the low price of $99.99 since he obviously believes a 1984 Fleer Update Dwight Gooden PSA 9 is worth $129.99.

I can only imagine what he's paid in listing fees by listing this card continuously for 3 years...
So, if he's been posting this thing continually for the past 3 years, he's paid more in listing fees for just this card than he actually sold it for. Not wise.
