Default Koufax Auction - Is this for real?

Posted By: Jamie

Is this real?

http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-Topps-Sandy-Koufax-RC-123-PSA-9_W0QQitemZ230307789574QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_SM_Sp orts_Cards?hash=item230307789574&_trksid=p3286.c0. m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A3|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Selling has feedback of 19, only accepts Paypal and is running a 3-day auction. You'd have to have a lot of faith in mankind to bid on this one.

Someone is either going to get a great card really cheap or get screwed really badly.

Thoughts?

I've asked him to send me a scan of the back, to see if he really has it. Only 1 feedback has been left for him in the last 6 months, so I'm a little wary.

Too risky for my taste
Not enuff feedback
I would insist on speaking to the seller via phone to discuss card etc
Anytime I am suspicious I insist on speaking to them on the phone
Scammers will rarely do this as they do not want to answer questions pertaining to item they are selling
any legit seller will speak to you

"Scammers sometimes offer scans of real cards that they don't own. This is often of high end high graded cards, the images stolen from a Mastronet auction or similar. When making a thousands dollar purchase, you want to be confident of the seller's reliability, not just that the card in the picture looks okay.



If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually is. You can't get a PSA 9 1952 Mickey Mantle for 1/5th the normal price or a T206 Honus Wagner for $2,000."



-David Rudd Cycleback, 2005.

I wouldn't touch that listing. No question that is a hijacked picture and if the auction makes it to the end, which I'm guessing it won't, and the seller gets paid, the seller will steal the money and use a delivery confirmation scam to say he shipped the item to the same zip code of the buyer.
