I like how he is going to ship: Card will be shipped neat and safe in a sleeve and top holder immediately after payment. Guess the postage is going on the top holder

Important bidding note: Most (but not all) of my auctions end between 4am and 6am CST. This reduces the chance of a bidding war at the end of the auction which also increases your chances of winning if you are available at that time. However, it also reduces the number of bidders early in the auction because they assume they can't when since they won't be available for the potential bidding war at the close of the auction. Many bidders have used this information to their advantage and won good with very low bids!"

LMAO

I looked at his completed auctions and he has sold cards for as little as .25 cents with free shipping...why would anybody do that? Even in a PWE he loses money.

buying feedback so he can swoop in with the 52 Mantle in a few weeks

Yep. Didn't use that ebay ID for 3 years and all of a sudden he's buying feedback. He's up to no good.

It's part of the Weekend Warriors Card Dealers Handbook.

In the examples you cite, he's losing money, "but makes it up in volume..."

The next phase will be, "buy high, sell low, but look good."

Finally, when he's broke and destitute, he'll wonder, "Expenses? No one told me I had to count the expenses!"

Don't forget listing fees and FVF also. Definately up to no good. No one is that stupid.

Under the current EBAY scheme, it is often much
cheaper to acquire feedback via selling items than
it is to acquire feedback via buying items.

Also, a seller can gain needed DSRs that a buyer
cannot.

It's pretty sad when the top loader and sleeve are actually worth more than the card.

i don't know maybe he is taping the card to a postcard.

Gotta feel sorry for the guy who actually bought the card.

The card was relisted, now it's a BIN of $2.00 / make offer.
I put in an offer of $1.00, and I'm crossing my fingers someone doesn't make a higher offer.
I hope to hear back soon, I hate the waiting part.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
