Uneducated Buyers Meet Lindascards2005
Posted By: T206Collector
What I find most frightening about reviewing Lindascards2005's feedback on eBay is the number of people that report a successful transaction and give her positive feedback after spending good money on obvious reprints, that -- in the seller's defense -- are actually being sold as reprints. Then the buyers leave positive feedback after spending $25, $50, $100+ on worthless glossy cardboard that's been soaked in tea. |

dude...I agree with you 100%...it's unreal...absolutely unreal that people spend substantial cash on obvious reprints. EBAY should NOT ALLOW these reprints to be grouped with authentic cards and then we'll see how well they sell. it's a poor reflection on ebay and even more so on the uneducated state or stupidity of some collectors...now i've vented. |

according to one of her negatives she's in ohio. Wow, is this state breeding these people. I did some reading on old subjects and read about a lot of people in Ohio who are selling these cards. Hmmm...remind me not to buy local. |

You have a semi-crooked seller operating due to the greed/stupidity of the buyers. Who is worse? Lindascards or the greedy stupid buyer who wants something for almost nothing. |

It's even better when they lay on the "these have been sitting in my grandfather's attic for many years and I stumbled upon them after he passed away" garbage. |

...but Lindascards2005 doesn't even attempt a fake story -- she actually says that the cards are reprints in her listing, and the dollars still fly!! |

Doesn't eBay have a policy stating that sellers can't disclaim knowledge of the card's authenticity? Seems like 6 months ago there were lots of sellers using language like "I'm not sure if it's real so I'm selling it as a reprint" until eBay did something about it. This seller's language: |

Rob: That's my point. The language you're quoting is the type of language I thought eBay had banned as it was only used to mask the selling of reprints. The language of the seller in this thread just seems to be a slight change in semantics. "Being sold as a reprint" is a slight improvement on "I'm not sure of the authenticity so am selling as a reprint" but is still not the same in the mind of a naive (and admittedly greedy) buyer as "this card is a reprint". |

As I had pointed out in another thread, some of these buyers are planning to resell the fakes to a third party. Maybe it's worth the $50 to go and take someone else for $1000. |

Bad people selling cards to other bad people so they can make a bigger fool out of someone. It's pretty gross, if you ask me. |

I'm all for helping out newbies and preventing scams, but if someone bids $77 on a beat up baseball card clearly being sold as a reprint, that's his or her problem. The buyer doesn't need a Standard Catalog as much as he needs a nannie. |

(i.e., a seller of reprints taking the public) is a lazy crook, i.e., a buyer of reprints planning to sell them as real but too lazy to even doctor his own stuff. |

It just proves P.T. Barnum was right, all those years ago, when he said there was a sucker born every minute. |
