Misleading Auctions, Knowledgeable Sellers

Posted By: Nickinvegas

In this case I think that using a word like "tough" or "difficult" as opposed to Rare would be more in line.

I can only speak for my self in this regard, but I am afraid to use words like "Rare" or other positive descriptions of a card. I fear that any sort of elaborate descriptions will be scrutinized and perhaps even posted on this board.

Other auctioneers(mastro,RE,Mile High ect.) refer to cards as "Creamy,Deep,Impossible or a "feast for the eyes". If an ebay seller were to use words like this it would definitely get some ribbing. It's as though an ebay seller has to say: "Well, first off this card is common as a 90' score, it has so much wear it make me sick! This card just sucks. Please bid, Thanks."

My rant is not directed at Lee or anyone in paticular. Just an opinion I wanted to express.

Regards,
Nick
