Reprint Insanity

A 38 Goudey reprint just sold on ebay for over $100
ebay item #180542019334
Am I missing something?

This guy is krazy
Maybe because he clamed it was gem mint
But so what?
it's a freaking reprint

then he asks $10 for insurance, but optional thank God

also didn't want to accept Paypal on expensive auctions, so you had to agree to pay a xtra $20 paypal fee, if u wanted to pay this way

absolutely amazing

then he highly recommends getting it graded because it's a lock 9 or mayve even a 10 on a good day

why ebay didn'y pull this auction is beyond me'

I wish I could work part-time for ebay & have the right to pull any & all fraudulent auctions
Wow, would I have a blast!!
only problem I could only close down a tiny % of the scam listings I see daily

It's totally out of control - this is when I wish ebay would allow you to block certain sellers. From the listing titles there's no mention about a reprint; then somewhere hidden in the description of the wonderful condition and the scarce card they use the word "reprint" (or one bozo who consistently misspells it "repint"). I wish ebay would clean this stuff up; you know whoever won the auction is expecting the real deal and will either not notice when it comes or know it right away; either way there's going to be a fight at some point between buyer/seller.

for some reason I can't find this thru regular or advanced (completed auction) search? I will send it to my contact at ebay if I can find it and maybe get the seller warned or booted....

That is verboten per ebay and paypal rules. Auction should have been kicked by ebay before it went to the end.

I just saw today on ebay a 33 goudey ruth reprint, advertised as such in a graded holder for $400
I emailed him & asked how much he was paying for these?
I think I won;t be getting a reply as he's in the card for around $10
nice markup if he can sell it
heck even if he got $50 still a great markup

I couldn't find it either using the search functions. That's about the third time now with an auction number that someone has posted on here that it doesn't work. I'll take a stab that ebay has a small glitch or something.

Change your socks, drink water, and drive on.
