Beware of this deceptive Ebay seller

[Babe3Ruth3]

Their is an Ebay seller didiwinn123, that is being very deceptive in his description and just outright lying. This seller recently purchased a card for $13.34, with shipping on Ebay and is telling a story about how he got it from his great grandfather and the appraisal he got is $800, but on Craigslist he says the appraisal is $1000 - $1400. This is the link to his Ebay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1922-Am...90885268266%26


I did a search and found this posting he made on Craigslist too and has an appraisal of $1000 - $1400 for it and still tells us that he got it from his great grandfather too. Here is the links to it: http://worcester.craigslist.org/bar/3573037751.html

Another posting here he wants $700 for it and their are others too : http://worcester.craigslist.org/bar/3654064482.html

Don't you hate guys like this? He bought it on Jan 13th for $10.49 plus shipping. Must have bought it from his great grandfather.

My thoughts exactly.....

I sent the seller the following message...

"I'm confused. Your description says that the card belonged to your great grandfather, but your feedback history shows you bought the same card for $10.49 on January 13th. So you purchased the card from your grandfather?"

We'll see if he responds.

I also sent him a message asking if he could give me any more information as to it's history, seeing how it was passed down for his GGfather. People like this really give the hobby of BB card collecting a bad name.

Be wary of sellers selling pre-war cards who also sell talking Darth Vader helmets and Finding Nemo figurines

I just got this Ebay message back from didiwinn123 after asking him to give me this cards history: "this card belonged to my great grand father and was left to me in his will it was kept in a lock box so nothing would happen to it now that i have it im not really a collector but if you would buy it now and request an invoice i will save you 100- and give it to you for 200- with free shipping...... be for the auction ends. i rather see some one use it in there collection then to be in my drawer ". I was thinking of reporting him to Ebay for being so dishonest in his description and to stop the auction, for people unaware or for new Baseball card collectors.
