They do exist... Just obviously not this guy.

He obviously learned from his past experience of trying to sell a card at 25% of its value.

This time he was asking right about what he could have to not get questioned and at the same time have people pounce at the deal.
I would only assume he will get booted.

Hopefully you didnt send the money via friends/family.

Do you have any recourse if you sent money via friends/family? I have never tried to cancel a transaction of this type before.

I would just get on the phone with PayPal asap. From what I understand, it's like handing someone cash and there's an old saying that "possession in 9/10ths of the law".

sometimes when something is too good to be true....it is.

Is $550 for a pretty bad 3 '54 Aaron too good to be true? I thought it was a little low but not at a "steal" price.

I sent my payment Goods and Services and got the refund. I almost got scammed and can't help feeling like an idiot. I'm not to the point of wishing death on him and those he cares about but I hope the OP cuts his gums when he flosses and burns the roof of his mouth on breakfast.

Added: it seems that he might be in cahoots with ebitz.

again greed is how people get ripped off.....if people are fighting over a time stamp of who paid first...odds are the price is too good to be true...especially on a baseball card website.

added: how you know ebitz is in cahoots..you may be right but wondering how you know

also strange that the aaron is an SGC card...postwar..why so many postwar cards on net54 SGC? how many more PSA 1954s are there versus SGCs

[Laxcat]

As for ebitz: how many posts does he have? When did he join? I think the only involvement he had was either to possibly try to run the price up(on a card that doesn't exist) or to just add some confusion to the matter hoping we would just send it FF.

Once again the word greed come up. So you know why I was trying to buy it? None of your damn business, but I'll enlighten you anyway. I need it for my set. I have a much nicer one that I'm not going to put in a low to mid grade set.

I DO sell cards. As I'm sure you do too. This was not going to be one of them. I am really tired of your asinine assessments of what everyone else's motives are.

I didn't think it was a bad '3'. It was nice and centered on the front. The price wasn't a super steal. It was low enough to draw interest, but not too low to raise a red flag (unlike the Chmaberlain rookie). It was priced at what it should bring on Ebay minus the fees. The only red flag I saw was the low post total.

[1952boyntoncollector]

it wasn't a red flag that it was the SAME seller as the chamberlain rookie?

plus people on net54 typically don't start off at that type of price...lots of price reductions.......

I don't think this is such a case, especially since the potential buyer didn't see the chamberlain post. $550 is pretty close to the market value of the card. He wasn't exactly stealing it. A good example of why you don't send paypal ff unless you really know a seller.

i guess but you don't see many iconic cards on net54 with prices rising for clear below market price....at least the card is only a card in the 100s not 1000s..the fact there were 4 or 5 people jumping at the chance to buy and already a 'fight' on timestamp...pretty much shows too good to be true.....has there been any other thread this year where there was a poster pointing out a timestamp? (I really don't know ) if not..then the only one happens to involve seller fraud? guess a big coincidence...

[Laxcat]

Here is what happened.

Card is posted.
An hour later, I'm like, cool I need that.
PM the fraudster.
Send payment.
Then ebitz jumps in with whatever he and his scammer buddy are up to.
My G&S payment comes back.
Then I see the Wilt thread.
Inform Robert to get his money back.
End of story.

First of I wanna say that I hope no one got ripped off and everyone gets their money back. I agree that $550 wasn't a steal, but it is a $700 card and $150 off a VERY popular HOF Rookie is as close a steal your gonna get. Also sending PP ff to a newbie is very risky.

for net54 its a steal on that type of VERY popular card , a red flag right there..


I guess if we see a 1952 topps centered Mantle rookie PSA 4 for $17,000 from a new poster...we shouldn't jump on that either!..

[bobbyw8469]

I made note of the timestamp because I had PMed the gentleman instead of posting in the thread. I don't always like to advertise my interest in a card. Then when I saw people posting "I'll take it" in the thread, I thought maybe that is where I needed to make my intentions known that I was trying to purchase the card.
