I'm tempted to get his contact info to pass it on to board members who are in Michigan.

<< <i>Anyone dumb enough to bid $180 on that with the thought that they may be buying a $100K+ card that slipped through the cracks deserves to be ripped off by this guy for being that dumb and gullible. My thoughts about such people have evolved to the point that I have no pity for a guy who bids on these type auctions, with greed as their motive, entering into a potential contract in an ignorant state, not having a clue of the market they are in, and no idea the true worth of the item they intend to purchase. Fools and their money are parted daily on eBay, and unless people wise up, which has shown no indication of happening, it will continue indefinitely. A sucker is born every minute - on eBay. >>
well said
I think that makes it more valuable than the real one!
<< <i>tinas you seem to have a special knack in finding these weired auctions.........
haha i know i dont know if thats a good thing or bad thing though. i reported him to ebay and emailed i told him he had 24 hours to tell the poor people that he was ripping off that he was selling a crap card but instead once i seen the rest of his listing i just reported him so hopefully they'll get that idiot off ebay.

Well, yes - well said, but awfully heartless. I don't think anybody who gets screwed by a scam deserves it. We don't know who the sucker is and/or why he got suckered and/or what outside pressures were involved in the bid and how intelligent the sucker is, etc.. I can't at all abide with the attitude that it's his own damn fault. The victim is never to blame; scammers depend on the weak showing up (as Yogi put it: afterall, none of us are human...). Come on guys - lighten up.

Gotta disagree with you. Obvious scams such as this one appeal to only the greediest of the greedy. They deserve what their greed has dictated.
i gotta agree with vargha on this though
Edited to add: I did a little searching of T206 Wagners on eBay. Check out this link - this is a dedicated ebay buyer of Wagner repros! Just goes to show you never know what the heck is going on out there. Millions of people are viewing ebay everyday and bidders are not always informed bidders. Greed can be a motivating factor, but it's quite a leap to assume that's what's driving a bid.

It's a very strange bidding pattern. All but one of the cards are clearly noted "Reprint" in the listing and sold for nominal $$. The other card is one of those "found in an old house" stories, but with the "selling as a reprint since it is not graded" note at the end. Idiot "won" it for $335

Maybe he started out as a victim, then after his initial

wouldnt doubt that he prolly seen how much money he could make and thought hed try it to. Watch him try to resell the card with the same ebay id and someone looks at his wins and all are reprint cards he will last 2 hours before being booted. sometime tomarrow this auction should be over i contacted ebay this morning about this guy. hopefully it was soon enough to save these people some money on worthless junk
this is his newest auction, low and behold he ended the wagner auction early "error in listing" i wonder if it has anything to do with my email to him haha.
