Re: Tips for a beginner
@MFeld - you're correct, I/we have probably strayed a bit from the OP's initial prompt: "I'm collecting both for fun and for appreciation in value."

Re: Anyone know anything about EBAY frauds involving 2nd chance offers? Edited: It is fraud, please be
This happened to me a couple months ago and it almost cost me $1,300.

Re: OUCH! Big doings over on Blowout. 23K scammalammadingdong
I'm guessing the total amount sent gift was Less that 3 or 4K. Most were sent goods. The scammer is using people to tell the others that he did not scam but he is not sending any packages out becasue of this and that and to file with Paypal.
