Re: Is the increasing complexity of the grading game damaging our hobby?
Those who bought fakes, cleaned, altered, or similar in the past from the scammers or ignorant sellers.....they wish grading would have come sooner. I am a believer in the current system.

"Do (instead of Due) to other financial obligations I must sell". >> you could be right...could also be a clever scammer "pretending" to be dumb in order to better fool the fish. Wouldn't surprise me if this seller has done this numerous times before with other ebay… -

Re: Frivelous second chance offers via Ebay......how big is this problem?
<< <i>Not a problem AT ALL if people had the common sense to just verify it in their "my eBay buying page" >> About 18 months ago one of my underbidders wired a grand to some scammer named John in the UK. You'd think he might have gotten a clue from the fact that my name is Russ and I'm in the US. Russ, NCNE
