The buyout price was 200,000 yen, and someone snapped it up pretty quickly. However, the buyout price seems low even for just the Charizard itself - am I missing something? Is this a scam lot?
(I also checked the seller’s ratings, and there was only one - it was a 5-star rating for the same three PSA 10 promos, but the record indicates the ending bid price was one yen…very strange.)
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. It’s pretty unlikely that someone would have those three cards, especially in PSA 10s, and undervalue them so much. It could even just be a Westerner bait listing, since Yahoo Japan doesn’t have buyer protection. Either way, very likely that it’s too good to be true.
Yeah, I thought so too, but I couldn’t really see anything wrong with it.
I was also curious how they’d do a scam like this…send you three worthless, ungraded cards? Or maybe send you these three cards in really terrible condition (but in this case, Buyee’s protection plan should cover you…)
If you think you have 100% protection as you purchased a Buyee Plan with Insured Delivery + Inspection, you do not. Note this does NOT cover fake or imitation goods. It is solely your responsibility to ensure you know what you are bidding on, unfortunately.
Due to this, sellers can quite easily manipulate the terms with foreigner bait listings. For example, if a seller used a genuine listing and sent a fake slab. In which case, you’ll need to fight Buyee on that. If Buyee does not refund many will utilise a charge back from their credit card company and will result in a ban.
@pokemonpuppy, Yeah, I agree - probably best not to rely on Buyee for stuff like this. Abysmal customer service, to the point where Buyee should just rename themselves Shaggy…raise any issues with them, and their response is the equivalent of “wasn’t me.”
Yup, it was one of the things I checked too, which did seem odd - I wonder why they even bothered doing that, because it seems fishier than having no ratings at all.
