I just realized that the first one that ended has a note that reads that the member relisted the item or one like it. I wonder if the first one never sold when the buyer realized that it wasn't legitimate.

5 to 1 - the original buyer got it for the $501 - tried to grade it.. got a letter from afa that it was a repo.. the guy disputed it on paypal.. got his money back and damaged it on the way back to the seller and now the guy is trying to re-flip it.
just my thoughts |

The seller is clearly trying to rip off potential auction winners. He adds the very small mention of reproduction packaging as a way to cover his butt if he gets caught but hopes potential bidders will miss this tiny piece of information and bid on the item thinking it's original. He is obviously a dishonest scam artist.

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1809893&type=3 I just hate sellers that try to scam people into thinking they are worth $999 like this guy claims in his description. His repro destro is worth maybe $30-$40. How can he sleep at night ripping someone off like that? |

Here is the message I just sent to this seller:
You are a pathetic criminal scam artist. You are clearly trying to sell this Destro as an original item instead of the fake reproduction that it is. Everywhere in your auction you talk as though this is a valuable, original Destro. You mention reproduction packaging once towards the end of your item description in hopes that potential bidders will overlook this extremely important piece of information. Other than this one small mention of reproduction packaging, you are clearly trying to make this item sound like its an original Destro worth $1000.00 instead of its true value of about $30.00. You only mentioned reproduction packaging once in the fine print so you can cover your butt if you get caught. If you were an even remotely honest seller, you would have "REPRODUCTION PACKAGING" plastered all over this auction so that its perfectly clear to potential bidders that they are bidding on a fake, and worthless item. You are clearly trying to rip someone off. |

i had to reread it like 4 times before i found where he slipped in reproduction packaging. Most people (myself included if not for this thread) would assume its legit and bid accordinly.
Very deceitful

Luckily the buyer figured out he got hosed and got his money back. Here is feedback left for this scam artist about this sale:
Fake and damage gijoe_ever ( 502) Oct-28-12 14:41 Reply by thechitt354 (Oct-28-12 23:35): DIDNT READ DESCRIPTION DAMAGED IT WHEN RECEIVED IT STILL GAVE HIM %100 REFUND RARE GI Joe Destro MOC Unpunched 20 Image Back G.I. Joe Cobra Weapons Supplier (#221119444336) US $510.00 View Item He just sold the same one for $169.27 to another unfortunate buyer. I tried to figure out a way to email the buyer to give him a heads up but couldn't figure out a way due to privacy constraints ebay enforces. If anyone knows how please give this a guy an email advising him to try to get his money back. |
