Fake aquapolis booster box Ebay

General
1

So on eBay right now (nov 29th) there is a Italian booster for auction. It has 22 bids with 2days left. It’s already at $1525. I believe it is fake. It looks like some body resealed it with a magic the gathering seal because both sides on the seal are open. I’m not a 100% sure it’s fake. Anybody have an opinion? I would hate to see someone get ripped off. If you type in aquapolis booster box on the Ebay search bar, it will be not the 1st box showing but the second box showing. I won’t list the sellers name Incase I’m wrong. Please check it out if you read this and let me know what you think. God bless

I saw this when it went up a few days back and thought it was weird myself.

if you look at the first photo, you notice the wrapper is ripped on the bottom right corner. then you look at the frontal view, it shows a perfectly good corner. I believe the photos are of two different boxes. and as you can see, the background changes for the different photos. the top view was shot with a dark wood table, whereas all the other ones were shot on a different surface. I definitely think this is fishy, despite the 100% feedback. also, the seller does not say it is an Italian box, which is problematic.

maybe a bit more digging will help.

it looks like the guy stole the photos from this guy…

Definitely, identic. Would stay away, but can only pray that it’s real for the sake of the current bidders…

Ive asked the seller for more pictures, its possible he is legit but lazy so stole pictures but of cohrse that is very unlikely and its proabably a scam. The vest thing you can do is report the listing.
