Usually I Can Spot The Scam A Mile Away !!!

Morning,

But this one has me confused, or is somebody really this stupid. Picked up a couple of 1981 Football Racks in the last group rip and when I saw that jsweiton got a rack from the box with Montana on the back, decided to cut my losses and just get rid of them before I got tempted even though I knew the Montana had already made an appearance. So listed them on E-Bay. Today I get this E-mail:

Dear thedutymon,

am I getting the actual rack pack thats in the picture with the payton and montana or is this a sample

- chiefinsp64

So I answer back that the Rack pictured is the one he gets and that there is No Montana or Payton Pictured: Auction #200651527512

Second E-Mail:

Dear thedutymon,

you better look again . I sent you the question because your picture shows montana and payton on top of the rack pack...


- chiefinsp64

So I do a double/triple/quadruple check and There is No Montana or Payton on the Rack I have for Sale, and he asked the question from the actual listing, so WTF????

Anybody see the scam?

    If the pack had Montana and Payton showing, you BIN and ask questions later.
    Someone is messing with you.

    Neil... I don't think this is a scam. I think it is an idiot. The Deberg COULD look sort of like Montana from a distance (49ers QB's). I don't see anyone mistaking Matt Blair or Mark Gastineau for Payton though. BBL?

    Look...here is the deal....you sell him that rack pack, and he gets no Montana or Payton, and you are getting a NEG!!! Case closed.

    Just a guess, but maybe he doesn't like the fact that you put Montana and Payton in your auction title (since they might not be in the pack), so he decided to mess with you. Who knows.

    I think since you put Montana and Payton in the title and 2 of the cards in the picture could resemble Payton and Montana he is asking if he will get those two cards before he buys. I don't think this is a scam. In his defense the title does lead you to believe you will get a Montana and Payton somewhere in the pack even if they are not on the top of the pack.

  • I wouldn't think it's an incredibly smart idea to list your address publicly in your auction.

    He made my BBL, 5 seconds after the second question!

    Don't put Montana and Payton in the title unless you're trying to invite questions from the occasional idiot or smarta*s

    Afternoon,

    That's a template leftover from a few years ago when we got most of our payments without giving Paypal a cut! Thanks for pointing it out for me, missed it, but as I say on some other boards, try and steal from me and keep in mind, I have at last count, 54 different weapons, about 30,000 rounds and acres of Forrested land, surrounded by 1000's of acres of BLM Land, you do the math!! And that's just me, my neighbor down the dirt road has more guns than I have and he's home all day, everyday, and he's a retired Cop! And they have to pass his house to get to mine!!

  • Yeah, off to the BBL. But I agree on removing your address. Just makes it that much easier. I just looked up your home and found a way I could get in easily. IMO No one is always home. Skip the main road. Come from the N. Forest is better to sneak thru vs. yards/roads.

    I've rec'd alot of fishing questions lately.

    "Take $15 for it, that's what it sells for" Recent sales of $25 and mine sllls for $25 next day.

    "Take $6 dlvd. I buy these all day for that." They sell for $18 dlvd. everyday

    And so many "item not rec'd" lately. Ugh.

    Do you have any Chinese stars or nunchucks in that Armageddon-like fortress of yours? Those work the best against cyber criminals.

    Nice try Badirchand. There's about 10M people named Suneel in a sunny land called India--you know, the one you always call because you aren't sure how to run a computer. Our God Krishna in the most sacred Bhagavad Gita tells us that men like you who live by guns alone don't amount to more than a peppered curry stain on a tablecloth.
