Check out this seller's hilarious and rediculous terms and AFA juustification.
GI JOE COBRA MIB MOC RARE FIREBAT AVAC DROME BOX 100% - eBay (item 140265153015 end time Sep-17-08 13:42:59 PDT) First there is a HUUUUUGE difference. The AFA one is SEALED, grade AFA 80. This is OPENED (unable to get graded by AFA), massive wear and damage to box, etc. Plus it is against ebay policies to do what he is are doing. If someone were smart, they would buy it for $999.99 and then he would either have to charge HONEST shipping or take negative feedback from the buyer. Also what he is doing to get around the CANADIAN law is ILLEGAL. WoW good luck. Also hardly any of these cracked. Ive owned plenty and MANY were not cracked at all. How many of you owned cracked ones as a kid?? Or Even now as an Adult??

He's charging $2100 for shipping so he can get the amount he wants for the item. What a douchebag.

the price is steap, but i can understand the shipping part. people do that a lot for things so ebay doesnt rape you on charges. say you have a $100 item. i have seen them sell for $1 with $99 shipping. Now ebay/paypal can only get you on $1. Also, i dont blame him for trying to evade a stupid IRS law like this. Who are they to say what you can and cant sell? i dont think he should advertise it so boldly though. if the wrong person sees it he could get in trouble

He is charging an enormous high shipping ($2,100) so he can avoid canadian customs and IRS to nail him for selling an item above the $999 limit I guess they have.
I love his reply to the question that the only difference betwen an AFA graded one and his is a $40 case and a sticker.

It's income. It's like saying businesses shouldn't be taxed for their sales. The gov't runs on those taxes. $1000 a month in sales is minimum wage in the US, I completely understand and agree with that law.
