Kenneth A. Cohenfor outing another in-progress auction. And I apologize to those you may be tiring of these all-to-common listings.

However, I can't help but appreciate the inventive angle - a large box of vintage mistakenly in a bunch of 80/90s junk. And to top it off, no pix because of a broken scanner. Just for kicks, I inquired.
Me: Are these cards available for personal inspection? I have a friend who lives in your area. Thanks
Seller: no, i don't do that, sorry
Me: Yea I can understand why. It would make it tougher to lure some unsuspecting moron into your scam. Good luck, it only takes one I guess.
Seller: i may try to add scan later, but as to your comments, if the scanner was working, it takes 20 minutes or more for me to put that together for a bidder who may not win. i've had 3 requests so far. what's up your crawlers anyway? its being sold as a reprint.
Oh well, probably no sense in continuing the back and forth. I'll find some other source of pathetic amusement.
However, wouldn't it be fun to have a 1 to 10 rating system based on creativity for these BS scam stories? At least this waasn't the old estate sale angle. Must give credit where cdedit is due.
BTW - I reported both this and the Wagner auction to Ebay as an Authenticity Disclaimer violation and was ignored. Either Ebay is understaffed or their business ethics have sunk. Maybe if more folks reported such listings these scams would cease to pay off.

PS - I didn't know I had crawlers. Can someone tell me what they are?
