Mugged by Ebay/Seller

[Yoda]

I need some advice about the vagaries of the Ebay dynamic. Not sure if anybody saw the group of Sporting Life cabinets that appeared yesterday, I think, of Chance Matty, Honus, and Larry L. on Ebay. God, when is the last time you saw such a group come up, and they looked ok except for the staining. The seller's story seemed almost plausible. The opening bids for the 3 non-Honus cards was $500 and I jumped right in slightly above the minimum and thought this was going to be a real interesting auction. Well, you can imagine my surprise when I received 3 separate emails saying my bids had been cancelled and I should go someplace to find out why. I tried but couldn't find anything and all evidence of the SL cards had been removed. Can anybody explain what happened here. Thanks. John

Send me a message with more info on the auctions and I will look for you.

I'm guessing somebody reported the auction was bogus, possibly with stolen scans and EBay wiped record of it from existence. Seller might have had other stuff up that also drew red flags.

Seller probably got besieged with offers and took them down. I was watching and should have emailed them

OK, I guess all trace hasn't been removed then. Somebody else probably made a big offer to end them I imagine.

I too was curious where they went and shot the seller a message. He took them down to get them graded - he will be selling them in the future. It all seems very legit to me, no effort to sell them to me and he says he turned down a sizeable offer already.

Sean, did you get them?

It would be the smartest move on the sellers part to have them graded. It would be interesting to know what size the offer(s) were that the seller was given.
