Re: Funky looking 21-D Mercury
<< <i>I emailed the seller regarding the tooling of the hair. Let's see if he does right and modifies or pulls the listing. >> I e-mailed him as well, and have not heard back. I think this is worse than the Chinese scammers, as this is attracting bids, and the seller has a 2700 rating, giving the apperance of credibility.… -
Re: When a buyer claims card never arrived
This seems like it would be the easiest scam in the world to run on eBay. Buy an expensive card with PayPal, then if delivery was not confirmed, claim it didn't arrive. Get your money back and sell the card. Nice. It's just as hard on an honest buyer, because the seller thinks he's trying to rip him off. Well, maybe not… -
Re: Strange ebay buyer coincidence - two recent packages returned - Address does not exist? New scam?
Yes this scam has been attempted on me before and eBay cannot do much to detect it. Glad you followed the policy and didn't ship to the new address however it's strange they went ahead with a refund when they weren't going to receive the item unless they just didn't want the credit card to be maxed out. As far as a $50… -
Re: CAC stickers have numbered days. Send in now or forever hold your peace.
The following may be "duh" but it seems there is a lot of continued ignorance surrounding CAC: CAC was established to correct grade inflation that has occured over time by establishing a consistent grading standard to ensure there is a distinction noted for coins that are of better quality within a designated grade level.… -
Re: Is it possible to somehow open a coin cache and replace the coin?
Yes, it is possible, though difficult with most slabs. There was a dealer (!) that was doing this with the heat sealed ICCS (Canadian) packets. When ANACS relaunched, their early holders were not sealed tightly and a gentle twist could get them open. There was another documented scam with big two holders, where the holders… -
Re: Kudos to an Ebay seller That sold me some Counterfeits
<< <i>Getting duped is a sure fire way to kill one's interest in numismatics. You should send the seller a few real pieces just as a thank you and to encourage him to keep collecting. >> Call me overly suspicious but the seller may have just back tracked knowing he got caught. Maybe he had scammer's remorse or maybe he… -
Re: To block or not to block...
<< <i>I like communication, so an opportunity to respond to an excited collector hoping to score on a venue like eBay (2nd to amazon and a whole bunch of other places ) is nobody I'd block, eh ? Seems like a nice fellow. Maybe not as articulate as some might want, but a willingness to deal and maybe even WIN at the highest… -
Re: Another ebay question - looks fishy
I am going to be blunt. You would be a MORON to go through with this sale. Red flag is a small, hard to see photo on a $600-700.00 card. Walk away flag if cert # is for a different card. Unless seller is willing to send you a large clear scan of the card, do not give him your money. If you go through with the sale and he… -
Re: Fake PSA 10 Alcindor (Jabbar) Rookie Listed on Ebay
Looks like they are BACK! They are covering the top of the label under a new account now. This is more than likely the same card /same person selling it/ etc. If it is coincidence and totally random that we have two scammers with same card, 1 PSA 10 and 1 BCCG 10 we have a serious issue about to influx the market. Now they… -
Re: So a dude from Cali calls my buddy & offers him a PSA 10 Jordan RC, PSA 9 Aaron RC & PSA 8 C
Vito - he's not an alt. He's a scammer pure and simple. He got booted off Net54 (where the name he gave on registration was Edwin Arroyo - spelled different ways in different places), and his ISP that he used to register there comes back to Tijuana, Mexico. The name is likely fake. The San Diego County area of California…
