Question about this ebay listing..

Hi everyone, I was looking at ebay and noticed this ebay listing and had a question. Why in the hell would this seller try and sell all of these cards in one lot? I can see if they are all from the same year, but they are all random hof's. The seller probably could sell them off individually and have much better success. And its a 3 day auction. lol

Please look at this link and see what you think? >>

    How ironic that he lists the "jerkwad" Williams and Musial pics first. image

    So do you think the seller's intent was to come here, start a bunch of stupid threads and show us his complete lack of integrity, and then try to get one of us to buy his cards?

    You guys scared him. He ended the auction already.

    But, he'll be back with one of his cerebral threads about gender discrimination in the hobby.

    He didn't end anything. The auction ran its course.

    The "usual" ebay weasel lot of this type, OC raw star cards, some decent mid grade cards to give an appearance of value, and in my opinion some doctored cards - for example I think somebody tried to "fix" at least one corner on that 57 Mantle...and in any event it was way, WAY overpriced, the seller just hoping to catch a fish...I guess the fish weren't biting.

    But I give it a good grade for presentation and clear scans.
