AdamW | 713 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) oh yeah, I mean, we already established the story's bullshit so the plastic could easily be a swap too for sure. I mean, they just look like a chancer to me They don't have the volume to be a 'dealer', only a couple hundred sales. All their other items are silly hype market stuff (McDonalds Pokemon cards, recent sports cards and stuff). I don't think you graduate from "silly seller" to "dealer" until you're making a living, like Wood Floor Guy Edited May 30, 2021 by AdamW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could still make it to 5 grand, but if I was the seller I would be feeling a little peaky right about... It's squeaky bum and brown trousers time! Heh, it ended at $4100. That didn't work out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I need to put some names in here. The original seller at $5000 BIN was resurrection_games, item #393308789204 . It only had pictures of the graded game. The seller of the auction listing that went for $4101, item #384173844170 , was ellie1008 (with the same feedback count as the "buyer" of the initial listing). They used different pictures, this time including some pre-grading photos and a screenshot of the WATA order page. Now it's back up for sale by resurrection_games - https://www.ebay.com/itm/393378810619 - for $5500, using the same pictures as the initial listing, with a claim that the buyer "backed out". I really want to know what's going on there. Edited June 4, 2021 by AdamW try and fix url 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I can believe. Says he did the auction listing from another account to see if it would go any better that way but it didn't (buyer backed out), so now it's back on his own account.

JVOSS | 1,762 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'll call this "setting the base line" this is used when a seller fakes a large sale in order to only "resale" the next price level you see this in local card shops and at big conventions. Unfortunately it's easily proven and therefor is not prosecuted as price fixing. the best way to combat this is to point it out. which has already been done just need more people to report and get this seller out of here...

OptOut | 8,883 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 If anything this is just more evidence of how weak the market is... People trying to sell sealed graded games for multiple thousands, but having a tough time finding buyers... I mean it was FUNNIER to imagine a guy taking a 4 digit loss on a game, but if anything being unable to sell at all is an even worse spot to be in, depending how much they paid...

Just a question of how much for. Maybe people are getting a little smarter about forking over big bucks for crappy condition copies like this one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,091 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 $124 for something that would cost you about $75 to BIN separately Sick and tired of these sellers that try to pull the wool over buyer’s eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Nope, let someone else make him think he won and then he can get a rude awakening with a refund and a loss of fees and shipping charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no definitely didn’t want it in my collection. One of my biggest pet peeves these days is messed up flaps. Makes my stomach turn. My Legend of Zelda was missing the little side top flaps forever until I recently upgraded. I was ashamed of myself every time I looked at it.
