At this point in time in this hobby you can count the ethical auction houses on two or three fingers,and maybe that is an optimistic number.

I would say very optimistic. I recently bought my first item from a auction house and I 100% believe they changed the item description after the auction closed. When I bought the item it was described as game used. Now the listing says nothing about game used and it is described as professional model.

I am waiting for their next auction so I can take before and after shots of their listings for solid proof or I would out the a$$holes now. I talked to another member who was very unhappy with a purchase from the same place and he thinks the same happened to him.

man you guys have it rough buying cards these days. you win a card it might not be the same card described. you get it for too low the seller might not ship. you get it for too high and the card might've been shilled. you buy a high grade card and it could be an el chapo special etc etc

back in my day you buy a raw card from dealer described as NRMT and you receive a trimmed EX card...but at least you know there was no funny business.

yeah, but making sure i don't get f'd over/outing a potential fraudster is all part of the fun of it as well...
