'Cigar-Box Find'

[Chris-Counts]

The seller has some interesting items, but he seems to have added an extra "0" or two to each of the prices. Perhaps he's just using eBay to post photos of his collection.

Is that Sweet Caporal piece real or a fantasy item?

I need a nice ungraded '57 Alex Kellner but I think I will pass on that one and opt for one of the under $10 ones. I can spend the other $500 on some stars.

You need sunglasses just to look at his cards. He's brightened the scans so much that the white card edges blind you. I really can't tell if the cards are nice or not.

scans are doctored, when you look at the enlarged versions the texture is way funky.

Yea - I zeroed in on the same card - At BEST $30 - He's got $517.44 + Shipping - Seriously? - Scratchin my head go figure

[Throttlesteer]

Perhaps he found something else to smoke in that cigar box before listing this stuff?

Certainly smells a lot like a business model we have seen repeatedly pop up under different names.

[Leon]

Don't you want to pay really high prices for ungraded NRMT-MT vintage cards? What could go wrong?

Isn't a no returns policy against both eBay and Paypal's policies, which you must agree to in order to sell anything through eBay or Paypal?

[UrbsHobbyCards]

Notice how all of the feedback says best offer was accepted? I bet many folks are offering half of the listed price thinking they got a great deal.

[LACardsGuy]

Happen to know this person and have done business with him (buying large lots, not one off cards). He has huge collection of cards from his deceased older brother and father, and a stand up guy. The cigar box thing is true, but I think that's just really for making listings stand out.

I have no idea how he sells things this high, but he does. He is definitely asking way more than he expects.

The cigar box thing is a farce. Some of the pictures shown in the find are "borrowed" pictures from other sources.

In what way, though? Paypal will let a buyer open a claim for money sent through Paypal. How can an item description void those terms if they accept Paypal as payment?

[bigfish]

Look at the edges on a lot of these cards. Look trimmed to me. Maybe its that brother tandem that was selling raw cards on eBay and later on their own auction website.

Something is rotten in Denmark.

No returns policy is different than buyer’s ability to make not as described claim. Offering returns means buyer can say i do not want this because it is thursday and my cat is sick. Buyers are ALWAYS. Protected under not as described policy.

Outside of chasing top rated discounts, i do not see much advantage to a seller to having blanket returns policy. Ebay already makes it hard enough on sellers.
