William HeitmanI contacted the seller of the "Wagner" Ken Cohen provided the link to and told him that the card was a reprint. Here was his reply: "Yeah sure buddy... and I got a bridge for sale in Arizona if your interested! I am sure that that the 650 people that have offered me money to buy it before the auction ends are ALL less intelligent than you right? Get a life!" I then suggested that he do a google search of my name which I gave him and here was his reply to that: "I typed your BS name into Yahoo's search and go figure, nothing shows! By the way, my name is Bill Gates. "Google" my name and you'll find me also!" So I sent him an email with a scan of the cover of my book, T206 The Monster and this was his reply: "nice picture clown... also, recommend proof reading your emails before sending ("check you spelling").. didn't you mean "check your spelling"? If you ever did write a book, I am surprised you sold a single copy with grammar like that. Further proof that you are the con here pal.... give it up." Here is the last email I got from him: "I was just contacted by a member you emailed stating your opinions about the sports card and have forwarded the email to ebay security for your breach of member policies and guidelines. I informed ebay that I would like to take legal action against you under my rights as an ebay member. You screwed up buddy by sending emails through your member IP and name. You can't erase it now. Just giving you a courtesy heads up, author. Thank you, eBay" The sad thing is the card went for more than $400. I emailed the winning bidder who had just set a record high price for a reprint. This was eBay item #110017694073. I just got another email from the seller that I will share with you: "Again conman, you violated your member agreement and you'll pay for it. Regardless of how the auction went, people saw through you immediately and courtesy copied me the emails you sent at least 2 members and I will take it all the way. You can blame a small keyboard all you want, but your lack luster attempts to buy this sports card from me before the auction ended didn't work. And by the way, how hard is it to find some 26 year old book on the internet, look up the authors name and claim to be the him or her? Come on! All the emails you are sending to me and the other members are being saved, so please continue to do so, it's making my case against you easier by the minute! Thanks again and NO I will not sell you this card out from under the feet of the winning bidder so stop asking." This seller's email address is: realestateadvisor@verizon.net This guy is actually accusing me of trying to buy this crap card from him. I began this post as a way of showing how far some sellers will go when faced with reality. I have a small favor of Leon and you other board members. Please email this guy and tell him what you think of his "Wagner" and tell him who I am. It would be appreciated. You can send me copies if you want.
