Two Ebay Sellers With the Same Card

As a bidder this double listing would have the opposite effect on me. I would be less likely to bid if unable to determine which actually had the card. Hopefully it was just an honest mistake. I think it's more likely that the seller who doesn't seem to deal in vintage cards stole the picture for his listing but that would be a strange coincidence them living in the same town.

Why two different cities though? I assumed same seller and assumed the locations were close, but didn't bother to look them up. I also have seen a lot of sellers listing a BIN and an auction for the same card, but usually with the same ID, not different ones. Wouldn't hurt to mention that in the auction listing that it is also available for a bin (or for local purchase) and the auction could end at anytime if the item sells first.

I have seen the same seller use ID's from 3 different states. The seller was using his kids ID's for the free listings. I am sure that a lot of sellers do this.

Mistakes are typically honest, whereas dishonesty is always on purpose.
