Dxtc’s Holy Shitter of the Week!

[dxtc]

Well this thread on the old UG was focused only on ebay as it was our primary source for non Ug transactions but it will now include Facebook! I have a new partner in this righteous venture to ward off the evil sellers the one, the only SeymourBarf! This thread will be here to protect the noobs and the returning collectors so fake ass collectors don’t rip them off! The guilty will not be protected! Your ass will wind up in the UG’s Hall of Shame!

Coming soon! You’ve been warned!

I just want to start off by saying that prices on eBay have been inflated pretty much across the board since the pandemic. A lot of that reflects the new market, as people have been willing to pay higher and higher prices. I’m not going to point out listings that seem just a bit high, or listings for one-of-one items where the seller is listing it at a “its not for sale” price.

I think it’s within reason to list something at a slightly higher cost than the price a similar item sold for recently. It’s okay to test the limits of the market. And with one-of-one items, I think it’s fair to set a price, even an unreasonable one, that it would take to get you to sell it. After all, it’s a unique item and it might have a sentimental value that exceeds what some people would find acceptable.

What I’m looking for are people selling common or easily-obtainable items at price-gouge amounts. Maybe they found a Joe Blow card in their attic and know nothing about GPK. Or maybe they are greedy bastards. Either way, ignorant or evil, those sellers’ listings will appear here.

$2500 for an OS2 set. In fairness, it is “or best offer” so they might take $2k.

GemFanatic is a huge scammer on eBay. He rips off everyone and has multiple eBay accounts. He knows how to manipulate the PayPal/eBay rules, files disputes, etc. True piece of shit. He has other usernames as well. snowhitesmile and another one.

What is the deal with sellers from Wisconsin? This GemFanatic guy is from Royal Oak, and there’s another seller from Oshkosh who is a complete lunatic. Is it the Packers? Are the Packers doing something to these people?

Prices are so high now that I don't even know what normal is anymore.

You know what they say though. You're not a fool for asking for a high price. The fool is who pays the high price.
