Any chance of shilling going on here?

    Considering the sets are worth about $100 total and both bidders have zero feedback, I'd say the chances are quite good

    this should work wonders for the interpretive value of junk sets.

    I love the fact that the seller say "never opened" when they are clearly hand built sets......lol

    $550?!?!? Thats a fair price?!? I think some people price things out by the year, that because its 25 years old, it must be $100 or better now.

    just looked through all his auctions, he uses the same two accounts on EVERY one.

    If the sets are really, REALLY nice- and that's one huge mo-fo of an if- they are worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 for the group.

    If you would pay $200 for those years I can get you some really really nice sets. Let me know if interested......LOL

    Oh God no. I don't collect anything from that era.

    I figured that the '84 & '85 sets, if in absolutely fantastic condition, were worth about $50 each, and the rest were worth about $20 each. I don't think that's unreasonable but maybe I'm wrong.

    LOL!!! We got a live one boys!! Someone took the bait!! A real bidder bid! Let's see if he gets run up, or if the seller is happy making "only" $400 for his $150 sets!

    LMFAO!!!!! I like how the zero feedback bidders are bidding on EVERYTHING that sellers has! From baseball cards to women's high heels!!

    You're not off at all. $50 and $20 are higher prices than average, but they do sometimes sell for those prices (including shipping) on ebay when sold individually.

    I guess these factory sets are valued at $133.33 each? 1988, 89 and 90 Fleer, some of the most overproduced sets in the history of cards, are sporting a $400 price tag. Then I should be able to get about $5,000 for the 1974 set I am building, right?

    Fleer Sets


    EDIT - It looks like it took a jump to $1,000. LMAO!! That is great!

    He must not really give a rat's arse about paying final value fees. Those two accounts are wearing his items OUT!

    That can't possibly be a real bidder, can it? A thousand dollars for six hand-collated, regular issue, late '80s Topps sets?

    No.

    I would assume some of us have considered bidding on the auction to fuel the fire. I've fueled a few actual fires with these sets anyway.

    ok, which one of you is messaging him too? He says he's going to contact eBay because another person and I are "harassing" through eBay messages. image
  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭
    I reported his auctions to Ebay. Enough of that Tom Foolery......his auctions are 100% ridiculous.

    I see that listing and I raise you this one. If you can exit that description without a cerebral contusion, mosey on over to his purchase history.

    Missed that. And seeing as I was consuming breakfast during my initial post, I'm quite thankful I did.

    Wouldn't it be better for him to start his opening bid higher rather than to start low and keep bidding against himself?
