Default I agree.....

I agree Jesse,

The other thing is that Dave noticed it around 8pm and posted. The guy that supposedly has the card on here logged in at 11 pm or so and DID not address Dave's post about the card being in an active Ebay auction. Also, you think that what he wrote on here would mimic what was on Ebay but he talks about the tape on here and Covidd as his reason for selling. Nothing like that in the Ebay description. Caveat Emptor!

That is troubling.

Leon: Thanks for your tips as well!

Peace, Mike

Default Fraud!

I am CONVINCED that either the Ebay guy does not own the card or this guy on here does not own the card due to this simple "tell":

Ebay description: I cannot speak to why it is deemed altered as I procured it from another avid collector. Please review the photos carefully. Best offer takes it. (a few troublings things ....its the 1st and only card he has ever sold on Ebay as his 3 total feedbacks are from him buying and he also says "Best Offer takes it!" but it is an auction?!?!?!?

Ok.....now, the guy on here says as the reason it was deemed altered is due to the tape.

Simple, one of these guys may have the card......or neither has it. I hope the guy on here is telling the truth. That would suck!

Peace, Mike

The guy sent me a picture of the card in his hand (in front of a clock, for good measure) last night. He has it.

The guy here, who I believe is one and the same. I'll leave it for him to go into though. I don't know him, can't vouch for him, but I do believe he has the card in hand.

Thanks for the support Jarrod, or at least attempting to get to know me. I do appreciate it. It's nice to meet someone who isn't a complete skeptic or cynic on this forum. I don't believe I'm breaking any eBay rules as if I do accept any of the offers I've already received, I am allowed to end my listing early without penalty. Some may see this is as dishonest, but I'm playing by the rules. It's not something I could or would do regularly as if I waited until January, my eBay selling limit would be reset and I could list as a buy it now. Unfortunately, some people can't put aside pre-judgement and realize that someone may be hard up for cash or in a situation that isn't entirely fair or even their fault. So, thank you again for not judging and being impartial in your interest in my item. If anyone is actually interested in making an offer, please DM me. Thanks everyone.

Maybe the game is to create a fake selling price point on eBay to later sell on the board or to someone down the line.

Strange to list in two place....Def as a live auction....

Also ,IMO, the card appears to have had pencil scribbled all over the front surface and then partially erased to me.

I had reached a limit on eBay for the month so I couldn't list as a Buy it Now so I did an auction instead. That's whey I also posted on here for offers. Assume what you like, which people will always do anyway.

What if you get an acceptable offer here on Net54? Do you just cancel the eBay auction or wait for it to finish and sell to whoever is higher?

I will be ending the auction early. I will give the highest bidder at that time an opportunity to match the selling offer. Thanks for your interest.

I do wish you very best of luck. It looks like there is some spirited bidding on eBay so I think you are gonna do great!

When you list something for sale in two places in the way you did people are gonna question it.

Merry Christmas to you !

Look fellas, I posted on eBay to see if I could sell more rapidly than here. I have the card. Best offer takes it is the same thing as "highest bid wins". Maybe you have a bit too much time on your hands, or at least more so than I. Just trying to sell a card dude. Not everyone does this for a living.
