Default How to get ripped off by SCP Auctions & Sotheby's

Posted By: Chad

There is no way you can make that middle tear disappear by pressing the picture flat, etc. Either the scan was altered or the picture was damaged after the scanning somehow. Either way, SCP screwed the pooch here. I know nobody likes a mob, but it defies explanation to think SCP was up front regarding the condition of this item. I don't bid in their auctions now, but I finally have a job where the potential exists for me to bid in the future, but I don't see now why I would. Baseball cards aren't worth more than my sense of right and wrong.

The sad thing is, nobody runs a more honest or accomodating auction than Ryan. You'd think he'd have enough positive karma going for him that this kind of crap would never happen to him. With this and the Aguilitas auction on ebay ending early, I'm in a real sour mood about the hobby today.
