Did I get a steal on this ungraded gold star charizard?

I was going through the newly listed stuff on ebay and saw this sick card popup. Based on the quick searches I did I got a really good deal. However, I feel like this might be too good to be true. Am I missing something here?

hmmm nice! grade it and youll still make money ha…if its authentic and as described.
Low grades go for over 100$

wow wth a PSA 2 went for 160$ that’s insane. While I was linking the ebay page for this post I noticed that the penny sleeve for the front facing picture was a loose fitting sleeve and the penny sleeve for the reverse picture was a perfect fit sleeve. Now I’m kind of worried about what’s going on with that.

Yea it is strange! But for 40 odd dollars for a gs charizard…worth playing it out and seeing ha! Just dont get your hopes up…and if it does all work out…then awesome!

Ya that’s a good way of looking at it. I’m defiantly excited to see how it goes. Never thought I would be able to get a gold star in such good condition.

This is an amazing deal if you get the card.

Yeah that person doesn’t seem like the typical clueless seller. Why list that at $40? Perhaps they forgot to add a 0. lol Hope they honor the sale and ship the card your way. :blush:

Seller seems super sketchy he sold this card before for $70 plus $55 shipping…now lists it for $40? Hmmmm…

Well the shipping is $75, so we’re looking at a $115 purchase, which imo still isn’t that bad of a deal

Wow I see he used the same picture… pretty sure this is bullshit then :sob: . Just not sure why he would do this?

So did you pay the 75 shipping on top of the 40?

You don’t know, it might have been an International buyer so he relisted. Just wait and see what happens. Hope you get a NM looking GS Zard. Worst case scenario you get your money back and nothing is gained or lost, except for some time. :blush:

ya that’s a good point, there’s no way he can get my money without me getting the card right?

Ya I did.

I think you’ll get it. I imagine the other buyer bought it and tried to get a shipping refund.
What’s strange to me is, there is no benefit for a seller to list like that. There used to be years ago but not anymore.

Ya might’ve been. It was just listed as shipped so that’s a good sign.

I hope they provide tracking for $75.

Lmao yep I got tracking :joy:

I would never underestimate the lack of Knowledge/lazyness in an eBay seller.
I myself sold a pristine, never touched Pokemon Center Black Star Promo #40 for 30€ last year because I didn’t know better and didn’t check.

the front and back photos show different size sleeves. Why would someone switch a sleeve to take a photo of the back?
