Anyone else sick of these ebay seller that are turning a large profit on a 5 buck card

This 1 for example...

MICHAEL JORDAN 93 TOPPS FIRST ROOKIE CARD (RARE)
Topps Rookie Card Very high Beckett Value

MICHAEL JORDAN 93 TOPPS FIRST ROOKIE CARD (RARE) - eBay Singles, Trading Cards, Basketball, Sport. (end time 03-Aug-08 18:56:26 AEST)


So does that mean my Speedy Claxton Auto card worth 10 bucks is Super Rare!!!!! WOOOHOOO

So i've decided to send this seller a msg....

"Where in the beckett were you looking when you had your subtitle 'high Beckett Value' in mind"

The response was as i expected....

" Look for 1992 Topps Archive Rookie of Michael Jordan and you should find it. Good luck "

Hmmm


Anyways i'm not singling out this person it's just that i see it all the time and it just quietly sH*ts me as i'm a seller myself and its the deception thats annoying.

Sure some might say well if ppl are dumb enough to bid on it then it's their fault. I say it's not right, knowingly ripping ppl off.

I personaly dont think Hanizena is a real switched on collector, I mean he has a massive hoard of Jordan cards, Ive bought so many off him recently and not had a drama, but he just seems to be in it for a minute and a buck or 5!

The way I see it, if people aren't bright enough to do their own research these days, they deserve to pay stupid prices.

The seller's not wrong (but not correct) by saying it's a rookie card, as some could argue it's a first appearance on a Topps card for MJ. But it's far from "rare" and far from being an actual rookie card.

I almost got burnt once because I didnt do my research (not with this card), and was educated, since then, I've always done my research. Others should do the same.

Yeah i agree, the 1st in a product is an RC, but we all know that it barely qualifies.

Its the "RARE" and "HBV$$$" that annoys me.

Description is a little mis-leading, but the guy seems to be very honest IMO. I'll elaborate soon enough, but he has helped me greatly in this past week. The story will be in a mailday soon!
