Posted By: <b>Elliot </b><p>I know something is up with this listing. Any ideas as to what?<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5108855614" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5108855614</a><BR><BR>I figure that the account has been hijacked, the bogus seller will not pre-approve anybody in the time frame before the listing expires, and then try to make bogus multiple deals with people who responded.<BR><BR>[edited to add title and to reprimand Elliot]

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I'd say hijacked accounts. One account has never sold a thing and the other hasn't sold a thing in over a year<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>Well..we got our answer. No notification of pre-approval, but after the auction ended an offer to sell the cards from our "old friend Toni". Clearly he has hijacked these accounts.

Posted By: <b>patrick leitner</b><p>Clearly these cards are too good to be true. I contacted the seller "Tony" that I was interested in the Ruth #144 PSA 6 figuring a can resell the card for at least $3000 my max offer was $1450. He told me send the money to the United Kingdom using Western Union and that a I would receive the card in 2-3 business days. This seems a little edgy to me, I'm backing out. It's great deal for great card, but I,m not going to risk it with this one.

Posted By: <b>lucky944</b><p>Your money is going to the UK and the card is coming from Overland Park, Kansas. That's funny isn't it.
