And for another Babe Ruth book story....with zero feedback
 

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>I may have missed out on a great bargain, or I may have avoided a great scam. While the Ruth signature looks real, the seller has zero feedback: <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5147428476" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5147428476</a><br /><br />When I inquired as to whether I could have someone pick this up in person, he replied <i>"I am not sure about picking it up in person. My only issue is proof that I gave it to you. Handing it to you or someone else, doesn't leave me any proof that I actually have it to you. I'd rather mail it with signature confirmation for my safety. Unless u have a better idea?"</i><br /><br />I suggested the delivery could take place at a lawyer's office, with notarized proof of delivery, or with any other suitable escrow agent.<br /><br />Strangely enough (or not), I never heard back from him before the auction ended. The high bidder will indeed have a tremendous bargain if the seller is legitimate, and may no doubt be tempted to bid on the vendor's other auctions which include Versace pants.<br /><br />Any thoughts?<br /><br />Max

Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>Max,<br /><br />Tough call but my intuition tells me it's a legit auction. Look at the seller's other auctions -- why would he/she be trying to scam bidders with low-ticket items? Makes no sense.
