I had to follow up on this old topic with something on EBay today:
Title: "Mariners REDS Ken Griffey Jr. UD 1989 MT BGS 10 ROOKIE" Looks like a BGS 10 for sale right? No ... its a raw card with the description (misspellings left in): "Ken Griffey Jr. Card # 1 in the SERIS The famous UD card that everyone wants ! This card is ready for the grade 9.5 or 10 by BGS easy ! If not totally satisified for ANY reason, I'm offering a money back guarantee as long as card is shiiped back within 10 days of auction ending." So, since when is it "easy" to get a BGS 9.5 or 10? And by the time the seller gets me the card, I may have 2 or 3 days tops to get the card graded and take him up on his guarantee. What a deal. |

Keyword spamming, plain & simple. Report it to eBay & he at least may get a
warning. wrote in message ups.com...

That is why you should read the WHOLE discription . I learned the hard way
by not reading it all before bidding . Ebay will say the same thing . READ before you BID . "Scott" wrote in message ... Keyword spamming, plain & simple.

(whoops, sent this to user instead of group last time - hope this works now)
eBay won't do squat - a few years ago, someone had "Curt Schilling BGS 10" cards It was an ungraded card that "may get a 10", yeah, right... and even worse, the description was phrased rather tricky so you might not realize it... someone's doing the same with Fred McGriff cards right now. That and the "1/1" ads (which are really 1/10 or 1/100 or 1/10000 but just happen to match the player's uniform number, height, or jock size) drive me bonkers... When you see an item listed as a BGS 9.5, it should be a BGS 9.5, not a "may be a BGS 9.5" card (here come the utterly shameless plugs) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=5194798 385 http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&sort=3&rows=0 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott" Newsgroups: rec.collecting.cards.discuss Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 5:16 PM Subject: Question about Ebay selling tactic Keyword spamming, plain & simple.
