THis is the same type of scam that was talked about a week or so ago on this board.
What the rip-off guy does is search eBay for Buy It Now items then he takes those listings and puts them under his name with a Buy It Now and jacks up the price. That way, he carries NO inventory and if someone buys it from him he then just goes and does a Buy It Now from the original seller and takes the profit.
For example, the rip off guy has a 2003 Fleer Barry Bonds autograph bat piece card numbered 222/613 with a Buy It Now price of $152.98 meanwhile, the original seller, fullcountcollections, has the card listed for $99.99.
When this scam was talked about in a different thread a week or so ago, the eBay guy was reported and eBay closed all of his auctions. I don't know if this is the same seller or not but he needs to be reported and shut down.
