I agree that some of these sellers pull the dumb blonde act, hoping that bidders will think they are getting a steal from a naive selller. And when it works, and it does, it wasn't the seller who was naive.

One of my favorite ploys was when the scammer who pretended to be an attractive 6 foot blonde woman (picture included) who collected baseball cards since she was a kid. I'm sure some bidder said, "I don't know if the 52 Mantle is real, but, if I can get her number, who cares." .... Heck, if she had been a brunette, I might of placed a bid.
