Scammer

jswieton · July 2, 2008 12:25PM

He posted a correction stateing it was the wrong card. Is that why you say he is a scammer?

AragornTheBold · July 2, 2008 1:30PM

That really doesnt cut it, that statement is at the bottom of the page and he obviously knew he had made a mistake yet he didn't change the title or the picture. Yes I think anyone with common sense would think that he is trying to scam people

Once the bids start, the seller is limited as to the changes he can make.

He should have cancelled the listing, and relisted the correct card.

I don't know the exact timeline, but there is a point at which the title can not be changed nor pictures added once an auctioned item has been bid upon. Not to play devil's advocate, but perhaps the seller was unable to make such changes. This has happened to me in one of my auctions. I had listed a lot of, say, 100 cards which later grew to 105. The lot already had bids so the system would not allow me to change the title to 105. I had to add it to the description in the same manner as this seller did.

Edited to say that I agree with storm888, always the voice of reason on these boards.

No Scam ... just a dumb mistake!

Don't think for a second that the bidders of this auction didn't realize what they were bidding on.

The winner, jeddrinkwine, sells nothing but vintage in his store.

Anybody dumb enough to think that they were bidding on a 1957 NAMATH card would deserve whatever they got!

Namath was 14 years old in 1957.

This seller's feedback is all over the board ... hard to tell if he's a douche ... a few problems .... a few successes!

AragornTheBold · July 2, 2008 1:59PM

haha ya the only reason i thought he was a scammer was because i didnt think anyone could be that stupid

NCDOLFAN · July 2, 2008 2:02PM

Here, let's take the camera a little out of focus so we can't really see the card that well and hope nobody notices that my card has almost no borders !!!

digicat · July 2, 2008 2:13PM

Is this one of those rares 1957 Topps Minis?

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 4:46AM

<< haha ya the only reason i thought he was a scammer was because i didnt think anyone could be that stupid >>

Just had to reply to this. This statement coming from a guy that actually thought he was going to get $15k worth of graded Mantle cards for $2500.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 5:07AM

Wow LSU you seem to follow me in all of my posts and insult me, why don't worry about someone else like yourself for once and stop stalking me

nam812 · July 4, 2008 5:08AM

Scammers can usually detect other scammers, right Gary?

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 5:19AM

Who is Gary???

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 5:56AM

You may find him in a mirror

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 6:22AM

wow you guys are so stupid thinking i am someone named Gary. This is a pathetic attempt to get me kicked off.

bikerider60 · July 4, 2008 6:24AM

The sign the the Beast ........all 666666 no good~

samspop · July 4, 2008 7:09AM

I am posting, not to bump this thread, but to push for Aragorn the Bored to go back to the Beckett Boards...

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 7:12AM

Wow never been to the Beckett boards but i am sure Gary has

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 7:16AM

He should have a 100th post contest. Winner gets some game used underwear worn by Gary.

PoppaJ · July 4, 2008 7:26AM

<< He should have a 100th post contest. Winner gets some game used underwear worn by Gary. >>

Puke!

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 7:27AM

Ya you would like that wouldnt you? I don't know who you are more obsessed with me or Gary. You have a really weird sexual crush on both of them and forgive me but I am very creeped out.

Yes I celebrate my 101th post with a statement: I have achieved what no one else has achieved on these boards, verbal abuse by half of the members in this forum, being accused of being a person I have never heard of, being threatened to be kicked off the forum permantely, anything you would like to add LSU my #1 fan?

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 7:49AM

Yes, I would like to add one thing for another troll: DUKE SUCKS!!!!!

samspop · July 4, 2008 7:54AM

The celebration of your 100th post!!! COOL!!! You are the 1st board member in the history of the board to get to 100 posts without having one meaningful or insightful post. You may want to take it down a notch (only advice, don't take it too personally). This is a community of PSA/Sports collectors, some with great knowledge about the hobby. If you just want to rant or put useless posts on the board just for the he|| of it, then this may not be the forum for you. Add something intriguing to the boards and don't come across like a high schooler jacked up on Red Bull and you will get a lot more respect...I promise.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 7:58AM

I agree I hate Duke, Texas A&M is my team

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 8:02AM

Hate the Aggies too. Turned down a full scholarship at A&M just so I could go to LSU.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 8:04AM

HAHA I'm sorry I don't believe you, how did you get a full scholarship there

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 8:08AM

I had numerous scholarship offers out of H.S. but stuck with my roots and went to LSU. Drank my way out of there, too many good looking women and easy access to liquor.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 8:13AM

Ya you sure sound like you were highly qualified for A&M alright, pretty sure you applied to A&M were rejected then went to LSU because all you need is a pulse to get in there or a blood/alchohol lvl higher than you GPA which is very common there

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 8:14AM

Actually I couldnt get into A&M because I could actually spell my first name and my sister is not my aunt.

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 8:19AM

My tribute to Texas A&M

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 8:19AM

no that is Texas Tech, common misconception. Of course everyone thinks that of us Texans and no I do not ride my horse to work

Leiascards · July 4, 2008 8:25AM

Raining in Galveston?

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 8:36AM

Thank you LSU I will accept that, it is our finest traditions and quite a spectacle to see. I really hope you didn't mean to make fun of the 12 who died because I knew at least 8 of them and 2 of them were my good friends. These are all playful arguments but that crosses the line I mean what kind of person would make fun of 12 college kids who died just before they went home to their families during Thanksgiving, a person who would do that is truelly sick

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 8:40AM

Did not mean any disrespect. Only A&M tradition I could think of, albeit a boring one.

bishop · July 4, 2008 8:49AM

Uncle Fester ?

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 8:50AM

ok I thought so, I have received a lot of crap about the bonfire accident and it would really make me teary eyed. Thanks for not crossing the line, now time to watch some fireworks. Happy 4th of July!

WinPitcher · July 4, 2008 9:00AM

haha ya the only reason i thought he was a scammer was because i didnt think anyone could be that stupid

LOL

Sounds like AragorntheBold needs to learn about selling on eBay too. Maybe he'll end up with the same fate as the few others that came to this board and made an a$$ out of themselves.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 9:36AM

Nope I know all about selling on eBay and no I am not an a$$ but thanks for the compliment. The reasons I said he was a scammer was he could have changed or neded the auction when he realized his mistake but intead he waited until the very end of his sales pitch to say btw I made a mistake.

Thanks again for the complients, they are really helping

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 9:59AM

His comment about making a mistake was after the first bid was made. By then he could not change anything. All he could do was add to the description with an edit post. Good thing you know all about selling on eBay.

bhl2359 · July 4, 2008 10:00AM

117 posts since June 19th. Very nice. Keep up the good work??

gumbyfan · July 4, 2008 10:34AM

Looks like Gary got bored resealing 1989 Fleer and 1975 Topps minis. As usual, we'll weather this storm and he'll get himself tossed again in due time. In the mean time, let's stop feeding the troll.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 1:46PM

LSU are you aware that you can end an auction at any time???? You sure know a lot about eBay.

Also after my first 100 posts I know have 2 names, my actual one and this scamming, cheating, loser named Gary. Thanks again guys for the warm welcome

lsutigers1973 · July 5, 2008 12:29AM

<< LSU are you aware that you can end an auction at any time???? >>

Not true either troll.

A-Bold:

You're starting to remind me of someone (see pic below) with your pre-school nonsensical replies and supposedly-on-purpose misspelling, which after 50 posts is getting absurdly old and lame ....

Give it a rest already .... and preview your posts before replying, you'll see why you're being picked on!
