Either someone bought them or he took them back down as they aren't there anymore. Maybe he will do some research and figure out what they really are and really are worth. Nice cards.....

Seller pulled them again. There was no bids. Seller seams like a stand up guy.

I hate these type of slimeballs way worse than the people selling the reprints as real. The people that email sellers and ask to buy direct are a very close second. With a little knowledge the fakes are easy to spot but there is nothing you can do about the slimeballs that email sellers with offers or the sellers that accept them.

I hear ya...buyer beware...on legit cards though I can ask all day for a direct deal on this forum or other means off ebay but only when listed on ebay I suddenly get all these direct offers...(no bids at my asking price) so I don't think theres anything wrong to not give ebay the money and allow the buyer to save a bit of money and I net a bit more..

It's unavoidable, and I've decided that the only way to counter it, is to stoop to their level. However, It really bugs me when someone makes the offer, gets a huge bargain, then asks for a partial refund because the cards "weren't in very good shape". It happens!! I try to communicate with the sellers after the fact, and ask who has made these offers. Hoping to find what happens once the cards have shipped.
