A few very desireable cards are listed on ebay as auctions. The listng contans this….buy now at …….website. I think that is a violation of ebay policies? On the website the said cards seem way underpriced. I checked 3 of their listngs on ebay and they all have different ids and zero feedback. Could be completely legit, just seems odd.

    They will takepayment via "friends and family" or some other non refundable method then you receive nothing, nada, zip, zilch, bupkis

    Works a surprising amount of times, just like any scam that preys on greed (and frankly stupidity). There have been discussions here several times this year on these type of listings as well as on forums for other hobbies.

    Just looked at their 3 listings again and everyone has a different location not in the U.S. Imagine that!
