The Giant eBay Garbage Thread

using pricecharts to comp pokemans is somehow even worse than using it to comp video games :rofl:

Just not worth my time to deal with people playing price comp games, especially in this market. Got a fair offer? Sure. Otherwise I’ll just happily let it sit and wait for someone to pay up.

Reported the listing, but this is Ebay Europe. :roll_eyes:

I really hope that one bid is a shill-bid.. If not, ngl, the buyer kinda deserves it, since that’s one of the most obvious fakes I’ve seen in recent years..

Well considering that there isn’t one in the title, description or picture and that the Charizard is worth about $100 more than the cards in this listing, no this does not come with the ā€œzardā€

I think that may have been a miscommunication as you were listing some cards from the set and wondered if you had the charizard for sale? I send these messages sometimes when I see someone listing multiple from a set.

It’s just a pet peeve of mine when a card is widely available on the market, but people message obviously looking to get the money card for under market value.

Otherwise they would just buy it from the open market without trying to socially engineer their way into paying less than what I would get if I just auctioned that card myself.

I understand if a serious collector is looking for a scarce card but realistically 99% of these messages are just lowballers looking to make a quick buck

Then just stop responding would have been a power move after the first message.

Wut.

Not quite garbage since he actually seems to be a good buyer, but this is funny.

Are you selling Japanese cards? Or another language for which the names aren’t visible? :sweat_smile: Even then it’s indeed pretty funny to reference ā€˜small fire dragon’ and ā€˜carp king’ for what I assume is Charmander and Magikarp (wild guesses tbh)? :wink:

lots of new people, lots of new suckers to scam who don’t know. Everyone is out here trying to get one over on each other these days. What a bunch of sneaslers! I wish reporting to ebay did something.

I’m very new to selling on eBay but already it’s a common thing to get nonsense messages on cheap cards. The more expensive stuff I’ve sold, the buyer has hit buy it now and paid immediately, with no contact made between the two of us.

Reminds me of that old meme @smpratte once posted iirc (I’m unable to find it unfortunately).

It basically said something along the lines of:

I’ve just made something up tbh, but it was something along these lines.

I kinda hate I’m unable to find that original post or picture.. Maybe I misremembered that Scott posted it. :thinking:
