4. Accept the offer from your selling account, pay the $1 from the buying account, have the selling account ship it off, and it will still go to the authenticity program, even though the sale was for only a buck since the list price was $250 or over.
5. Rinse and repeat.
6. Get banned from eBay probably, but hey it would work if you just needed it for one or two cards to check. Would be super cheap too.  |
Nah, I'd get instabanned, with my luck... haha
But, maybe I could legitimately set the price at $250. The actual item in my collection did cost me like $234 to begin with (winning bid price plus buyer's premium) from a different auction, not eBay. So, legitimately, I could set it at $250, because it's still within the range of what the item could be worth, and then I'd have an acquaintance of mine, who runs a card shop in a different city, buy it from me. I would then ship it to eBay AG, and when it's shipped back to him, I'll drive over there, give him the money he spent on it, and I'll pickup the card. There is just one problem: He might keep it!
