And I think that is the value of this board and your website, Hankron.

I think that Tbob -- and many of us -- hope that by the time people find these resources, they haven't been burned so bad that they're turned off the hobby for good.

There will ALWAYS be someone taking advantage of new, uneducated buyers. In the case of collectible cardboard, the federal authorities aren't going to spend too much time busting them, and eBay couldn't care less.

The answer is eductation, not hand-wringing over the scammers who will always be around.
