how about the $45 for shipping? some people have no conscience.

TurbosHockey · November 19, 2009 2:19AM

Could we see a pic of the packs please???? really now. A fool and his money.........

Sportsamerica · November 19, 2009 2:33AM

Where is the picture of the 5th box??? I agree I think they are only the boxes and no packs.. Looking at other items he sold, nothing to this value.. Total Scam in my option.

Looking at the picture of the boxes, looks like a) something is on top of the boxes like a picture frame, and b) I would think the weight of 6 full boxes sitting on top of 3 weatie boxes would be something I would not have done if the boxes are full.

hammered · November 19, 2009 2:39AM

That's quite an accomplishment -

To maintain 95% feedback and still be able to sell on ebay

I'm impressed

I agree w/ TurboHockey - fools and their money

hammered · November 19, 2009 2:43AM

It is AMAZING to me that this guy sells loads of mostly .99 items and there are actually buyers out there that believe he suddenly has a $50K Mantle.

You would be suprised.. There was a item I wanted about a week ago and The seller had 83% feedback.. long story short I hit the back button.

cincyredlegs · November 19, 2009 3:05AM

I sent him an e-mail asking if the wax boxes were empty or full. I also asked him for pictures of the packs; front and back. He e-mailed me three pictures. One of the front of a pack, one of the back of pack and a full box. I will post pictures of the packs when I get home tonight because my work will not let me get onto Photobucket (unless someone wants to send me their e-mail address and I will send to you).

He never answered my question if the boxes were full or not on his reply. I replied back to him asking again if they were full boxes or not. I have not heard anything back yet.

dontippet · November 19, 2009 3:14AM

I asked him for a picture of the top two boxes opened so I can see the condition of the packs inside. I'll post his response.

dontippet · November 19, 2009 3:15AM

Somebody needs to turn this guy in for stating that there is a reserve of 55k for the Mantle, but has not placed a reserve on the auction.

ElToroLoco · November 19, 2009 3:41AM

There's something wrong when he's selling $15,000 wax boxes, never mind 5 of them and a $50,000 Mantle along with soap on a rope and cereal. I didn't bother with the questions, I reported it as misleading.

VintageCardLover · November 19, 2009 3:49AM

if people are stupid enough to send this guy money they deserve to get burned. no pic of packs, awful feedback and rating, no sales in the last 6 months.

Dboneesq · November 19, 2009 3:49AM

I checked out his feedback and found this from several years ago:

i just got overbid on the mantle. lets hope for a nuclear bidding war

jswieton · November 19, 2009 4:06AM

Those boxes are empty. Look how they are just sitting up on top of the wheaties boxes. If they were filled with packs they would topple over. I doubt you would balance 40k+ on top of three cereal boxes if theye were real.

Statman · November 19, 2009 4:22AM

I wrote hm asking if the auction was just for empty boxes or did it include the packs and/or cards.

I wrote:
Is this auction JUST for the empty boxes themselves? It does not include any packs or cards, right?

He quickly wrote back:
has packs

He didn't say WHICH kinds of packs... Of course it's bogus, but it's interesting to see how he spins his story

Nathaniel1960 · November 19, 2009 4:53AM

What does an empty 86-87 Fleer BK Box go for, mint condition? $100? More?

2cardguys · November 19, 2009 4:57AM

I sent this around 12:30

Dear shawn4842,

Are there any packs in the boxes? If so how many packs per box? Could you add some pictures of the packs so we can see their condition? Thanks

- 2cardguys

Dear 2cardguys,

whats ur email and ill send the pics

- shawn4842
I immediately sent my email around 12:30....just got out of a meeting and no pics yet... will let you know if he indeed sends any....
Notice he didn't answer how many packs were in the boxes....

Guru · November 19, 2009 5:26AM

This guy lives right up the road from me.

hammered · November 19, 2009 6:00AM

I reported it as well, and I hope it gets taken down

I'd hate to see anyone get screwed this close to Christmas, even if the victim is an idiot

cincyredlegs · November 19, 2009 8:40AM

Here are the pictures he e-mailed to me.

WinPitcher · November 19, 2009 8:58AM

hammered · November 19, 2009 10:24AM

Shawn4842, seller of empty cereal boxes, has had in his possession 2 of the 30 '52 Mantles ever graded PSA 8.

If he does have the current Mantle, he's costing himself maybe $20K by not putting it with REA.

Even expert cereal box sellers don't leave that kind of money on the table.

wilkcards · November 19, 2009 10:35AM

<< Legit?

Mantle Rc >>

No way this is legit. I reported the Mantle to ebay right after it was listed, but they seem to believe it.

Sure, this guy was selling $1 cards exclusively on ebay and then he remembered he had a '52 mantle in PSA 8 and thought, "Hey, this might be worth something."

here was our conversation earlier in the week....

Dear wilkcards,

report it. there is nothing wrong with the listing. i will keep listiing it till it sells which it will. i havea lower end mantle i can send you for 10k if u want

Hi, I can offer you $100000 cash for this card. We can meet at your local courthouse to complete the deal.

lsutigers1973 · November 19, 2009 12:51PM

He sent me an email reply asking if I would like to offer him a deal outside of eBay for the Mantle but only if I could pay with a wire transfer. Wonder if it's legit?

thunderdan · November 19, 2009 1:11PM

Welcome back, Bill.

NickM · November 19, 2009 2:13PM

I reported it based on the one thing that eBay actually cares about - offering to trade the item outside of eBay.

yea, and like it wasn't his scamming buddy's or his pet dog's ebay account that "bought" it, to try to build credibility and suck in others on his other auctions

WinPitcher · November 21, 2009 1:17AM

The way I see these auctions now it appears the seller ended them not ebay.

When ebay ends an auction you can no longer see it.
