I'm wondering if I just discovered Coach's Corners ebay name?

[GrayGhost]

Seriously, e bay SUPPOSEDLY has banned COA's etc. HOW CAN THEY ALLOW SUCH OBVIOUS GARBAGE ON THEIR SITE? I know, money money money money money....but, do they CARE bout their reputation as a huge auction site, at all?

All the stuff looks the same, mainly, old dirty balls, slowly drawn, and in many cases horribly attempted.

But, hey, at least Im gonna bid on this OBVIOUS REAL EXAMPLE. The Car, job, and money can wait. Gonna borrow for this one. Can't believe my good fortune

Scott,

Don't be so quick to knock that Rusie. It comes from a smoke free home .
Why do people put smoke free home in an ebay ad?
Not the first time I have seen it.
Smoking is a vile addiction but who the hell gives a crap if the item comes from a smoke free home?

As long as people keep bidding on these items they will keep signing them

[GrayGhost]

True, kevin, sadly.

Anyone like jumble or word scramble? I just noticed if you unscramble the letters in this scumbucket's name, it says 'THE SHAFT'

don't get why the feds are not involved ,unreal

With fake and counterfeit COAs like this using some else's name, I wonder if the forgers could be charged with identity theft that could give them serious criminal repercussions. Just a thought, I'm no lawyer.

[RichardSimon]

His buyers are the same ones that buy this crap on CC.
And ebay could care less.
They are not the "founders" of bogus sellers but they sure are the enablers.

If someone can show me some low hanging fruit, that isn't a difficult criminal case to make in Federal Court, I can get eyes on it. But so far Coach's Corner has dodged bullets by not being able to be caught red handed. Even if they sign Babe Ruth on a ball yesterday (they probably have) and try to sell it it's not an easy case. We need hands down fraud that that is provable in court. And it really can't be "well, it's so bad even Ray Charles could see it's fake". It has to be where they are caught red handed. I am telling you guys, I don't think they are easy cases to make. (from my little bit of experience)

A strong attempt was made with the Feds. Nothing came of it.

Been there done that. That is why I phrased my question the way I did. If I sign Babe Ruth on a ball today, and some jackwad gives his opinion it's real, it's not a crime. That is the issue in a nutshell. There has to be clearly provable fraud. And that is very difficult if someone only gives their opinion (as bad as it may be).
