    Some sucker already fell for it to the tune of $6,000. NOBODY would legitimately sell all of those cards in that condition at those prices.

    So did he ship the guy reprints or commons or what?

    Good for you.

    Let's see if I get them all:

    1. No paypal.

    2. Won't allow inspection and/or pick up.

    3. Doesn't identify his city and state.

    4. Scans look stolen.

    5. Won't send additional scans (his time is precious).

    Oh yeah, and best of all:

    6. Already scammed someone else on nearly the identical auction.

    Funny how he listed his city and state in previous auctions, but decided to remove it from this auction. Also funny how he accepted PayPal on previous auctions, but no longer accepts it because of "previous fraud."

    Previous fraud on what? One of his $.01 items???


    I love this feedback that was left for him on July 4th, 2001:

    Sounds like an instance in which everyone with sense should listen to the guy he scammed and stay away.

    This is a great time saver! I'm going to create a new template for all of my auctions, starting bid will be $199.00:
    Up for auction is a sports card. I don't have time to waste on you people, so don't bother me with questions about which sport, which player, which company & year, or condition (assume Fair & you won't be disappointed). And don't even THINK about asking for scans, I have better things to do. I accept payment only in cash delivered by Loomis Fargo. Bid early and bid often!

    What an idiot...

    Scans actually look legit and he does offer pickup. Some of the cards look like reprints to me - classic scam...mix in legit cards with reprints. No suckers bit on it...this time.

    If I can I think I am going to send a message to the winner letting him know a bunch of people are curious about what he actually receives...
  • JohnnyDJohnnyD Posts: 521 ✭✭
    Disregard that last.....everyone was smart enough to stay away from this auction....
  • EdnaPurvianceEdnaPurviance Posts: 48

    Let's save some poor unknowing soul from losing their money by setting up a new account and winning the lot. Who wants to step up for this one??

    Thats sad.........seems like they need to have a review board on ebay to head off crap like this before it hits the world. Its just sad...........

    MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, WE NEED TO PUNISH THAT SELLER!
  • BlackieBlackie Posts: 1,719 ✭✭✭
    No better let ebay do it..... He will get caught. What needs to happen is that ebay take down this auction and restrict the seller from selling. Im sure they have his contact number, etc.

    I reported it the other day and obviously ebay did nothing about it

  • jamesryanbelljamesryanbell Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭

    We need to make about 20 bogus accounts and bid 1,000,000,000 every time he lists it, with no intention of buying it.

    Somebody won the auction. Hope it's just someone messing around with the seller.
