It amazes me how greedy people are. Why else would you consign cards for someone and never actually see the cards. The chances of it not being a scam are slim and none. Doing so is as silly as the post I quoted.

update and apology.

I completely misstated the $150K figure.

in reviewing the text messages dated feb 26th, it appears the figure was only $125K-$150K.

so technically it might only be $125K.

edit: so sue me. ; )

I agree 100%! I'm also amazed how sellers fail to take full responsibility for themselves. Look, if the card was bad or tampered with, and it wasn't the sellers (as it was being consigned sight unseen), seller still takes on full responsibility (as I have always said auction houses should do). Seller should immediately refund the buyers money, then the seller battles it out wit the owner of the card. Buyer shouldn't have to wait for seller to recover their money first. It also amazes me how defensive sellers get in situations like this, where they should be more sympathetic and understanding towards the buyer.

Agreed. But some of them are just plain stupid too. If I had to guess, I would say it was 50-50.

So the name under your screen name if fake? If so what is your real name?

I can help a little. First of all this person will be banned immediately for violating the registration policy, ie.....no anonymity for registrations. When I called the 718 area code phone number they gave the female sounds young and said here name is Brenda (muffled) Ramos....or something like that. However, by giving a fake name it means it's likely they gave a fake number too. A lot of bad karma going on here....but this Cardjunkie75 is out of here....

so it's definitely the wife here, as presumed.

and admittedly supplying false information.

digging yourself deeper.



edit: and listen, you're pissed. i get it. you got scammed and you cant take it out on the consignor because he's a ghost.

i'm not gonna go back and forth w/ you like a couple of 10 year olds on an internet forum.

everything i stated was completely factual. if i can assist in any manner w/ the investigation, please lemme know.

looking back, i shoulda quoted the other elvis song: "suspicious minds" *



* written by mark james, though.


anyways, might i ask that they have the rest of the day before banishment, leon. your forum, your rules and happy w/ whatever you decide. but i have been texting w/ william and i think he wants to retract his post/reply as i explained to him it's doing him no favors and he'd get a ton more respect and credibility for owning up to the fact.

in the end and what I've said from the start, i do not think they were knowingly involved. was it a dumb move, yes. we've all made them.

i cant imagine what my wife would be doing or saying knowing a nice lil $125k nest egg is gone.

honesty is the best policy and until this incident, they did have flawless feedback. somehow after all the threats and such, i still feel bad for them.

just asking that you give them til say 5:00pm to change the name per the rules and possibly show a lil remorse and hopefully accept some responsibility vs pointing a finger.

if not, no worries. at least i tried.

obviously it's your call and respect whatever decision you go with...

If they want to send me their real name and real phone number via email, and I verify it, I will be glad to reinstate them. Otherwise, pure anonymity will not be allowed. And I am not taking sides, from my perusing this it looks like they probably got scammed too. However, there is no reason, imo, to have to be anonymous. Maybe they don't know how to be up front about stuff and they can learn from this?

[begsu1013]

agreed.

rules is rules.

proper name is first and foremost.

i think that is only fair and thank you.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Guess that post backfired on him.

[begsu1013]

given every opportunity and you just simply can't get an honest word outta either of them!

they keep begging me to remove the thread.

done, over it.

time for lunch.
