Guy sells a card for $18.27...the winner of the card starts an auction within hours of winning it starting the card at $19.99 using the same picture the original seller used. It may happen all the time, I have just never seen it on a card I was watching!

    I've done it, but never before I had the card in hand. Better to re-sell a sure thing than have something get fluffed up in transit, or getting a comprimised slab etc.

    The dude better wait until he gets it in hand. The post office might lose his package.....

    what a great way to make a dollar ninety-four, less fees, taxes, surcharges and replacement costs!

    That was exactly what I thought. At least wait until it arrives, good grief Charlie Brown!

    I just checked and the card is over $26.00 and still has a few days left, so he is going to make a few more dollars I guess.

    Was it listed correctly the 1st time? Proper spelling in the title etc.? If not, I could see why he is getting a bump in price.

    the reality is, any seller on eBay can make a buck or two by simply knowing who their clients are, it's not that tough......i'm certain many of us can recall times being both on the buying or selling side that an item gained more attention and a better final price because more potential buyers were looking at the auction.....i've given up trying to figure out how big sellers can grab a filthy low deal and flip it because i don't mind when it happens to me.....i don't necessarily agree with the process of re-offering an item before it even lands on my doorstep, but i do agree that turning a lotta these little deals can make some good extra cash.

    It was listed correctly the first time...Actually, now that I have looked a little deeper into the original sale...I don't think the person who listed the new auction actually won the card!!! image He may have just stolen the image. The winning bidder's feedback on the first auction is much higher than the person now claiming to be selling the card!!!

    It could be someone with a buying account and selling account, so that could explain the different feedback totals for the person who won the first auction vs. the seller of the second.

    Not saying what he's doing is right, but just a thought...
