This will not end well . . .

I have often wondered if you could set up a bogus E Bay account and win this auction for $50,000 or so, and stick the scammer with the E Bay fees, or at least make him work a bit to get out of them.

If you look at this person's Feed back, they have sold a 1933 Goudey Ruth as a reprint and a T206 Cobb as a reprint but, all of a sudden, they have an original T206 Wagner?

Yikes, it got 67 bids!!! Thank God this is covered by the eBay Buyer Protection Plan!!!

p.s. The seller did give himself an "out" with the disclaimer that he can't say for sure if it is a reprint, although he did go on to infer it was genuine.

It really bugs me that now eBay allows a seller to say they don't know if their items are real or not. eBay has a little known rule stating that sellers may "not disclaim knowledge of authenticity" with regard to what they sell. But that listing box that may be checked "unknown" now gives them a loophole. It contradicts eBay's own policy, but it is what it is.
