Strange eBay listing with incredible cards

It's an eBay seller who appears to have an incredible inventory of graded cards up for sale. If you click on the individual cards, the description references a stock liquidation from someone who has closed a pawnshop business. They say they are soliciting offers on the cards.

But if you click on the seller's feedback, it's all nuts, bolts, screws, etc. as their name would suggest. The card listings say they ship from New Orleans, but the seller is based in the UK.

And a bunch of the card photos have the Probstein watermark. Any idea what might be going on here? Any chance these are legit listings?

48550 pos, 55 neutral and 34 neg in the past 12 months. That much eBay activity is a business.

A bunch have the 4SC watermark as well. It all seems too fishy to me. Some pics, some scans - some cropped, some not. Different camera angles, etc. I’ll be surprised if all these don’t get taken down before the auctions end.

Isn't it also strange that literally every item has exactly 1 bid currently

Could you link to the actual listing?

This seller has a bunch of different listings.

edit: nevermind, I see what you mean

Yeah it looks like maybe this person's account was hacked? Every card is listed at $3,000. haha.

This is a scam. The same cards were put up late last week under the seller name “apronman2011”. Same story about the pawn shop liquidation. I was suspicious, after placing a bid on one of them, and reported it to eBay. Within an hour, all of the auctions were ended. I was actually notified that I won an SGC 5 Cobb red portrait for $500ish, but then later the sale was cancelled.

I’m certain the same thing will happen with all of these.

Also using pictures with probstein123 even though it’s not from him.

I'm impressed with the inventory. One stop shopping for your bulldozer and vintage card needs.
