Default How to Scam and Make $ on eBay...

This scam model seems to have caught on, the worst of which was a guy named Candiman11 who I think is now banned. I emailed one of his victims telling them the '56 Mantle they paid $500+ was obviously trimmed and the buyer's response was "Yeah, I realize that. Oh well. Live and Learn." So this type of attitude encourages a recycling of a model that appears to work.

First you take an "overview" photo of a card on a dark-ish background (Blue, orange, wood-grain)--show just enough of the card to make it appear possibly in EX or Better shape...but definately not too much. Remember, you have cracked this card from an "A" holder or VGEX or worse one that had a flaw but that flaw can't appear to your new buyer, who is buying on the hope and prayer that it could be Nrmt. Then you add "Incredible, Mint! Pack-fresh" in the title but don't forget the subtitle which include "vibrant color, 100% authentic/untrimmed, razor-sharp corners". Last, in your description b.s a bit more "Nicely centered for this time era, original gloss, and perhaps play up the athelete's accomplishment.

Oops forgot to add that you need a shill account to truly pop your cherry. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
