Default A scam artist?

Posted By: Hankron

The following are examples of strange logic in scams that people actually will fall for.

"This card will certainly grade a Mint 9 by PSA, and that means it's worth $10,000! However, as I don't want to pay the $7 dollar PSA submission fee, I will sell it to you for $900."

"This T206 Honus Wagner is worth $200,000. However, as I need the $400 right away to pay this month's dorm rent, I will sell it to you for $50,000."

Though often on much smaller scale, eBayers (and anyone who's bought from Ken Goldin) commonly buy into these types of logic.

And to end with a typical (though made up) television Ken Goldinism : "I could easily sell these Al Leiter signed commerative bats for $2,000 right now, but I'm going to give them to you for only $600." (Answer: If Ken Goldin could sell a Al Leiter bat for $2,000, he'd sell it for $2,000)
