It's amazing how dumb people are on both sides of this. Does the buyer actually think someone believes they'll get a $500k+ card for a couple hundred bucks? Does the seller think they won't get caught in some way? Now if it was autographed we're talking something else.

Agreed. Things are stupid all over!

I would just order him a couple of prepaid magazine subscriptions of questionable content.

I just noticed another trend with these annoyingly-common reprints. Many of the auction listings are showing "Benefits Charity" next to them. I'm not sure if there's a legitimate charity counting on big dollars from a reprint, or if it's just another way to further confuse unsuspecting buyers.

Anything scammers, who are selling reprints, say is suspect. God Bless

As a follow up, I told him that I wired $200k to his bank account...told him it would be 24-48 hours to clear...and had him keep calling his bank and showing up in person to see if it was in there yet. I then told him that I found out it was a scam and that I wanted my $200k back and that I was going to the police. After a while, he finally half-admitted that it was a scam and we should just cancel the deal. To which I replied he still had my $200k. He advised that he never received it and he kind of started to panic. And I kind of left it at that...
