Seller did everything but make the words REDEEMED flash with running lights around it.

I can't wait for the buyer to complain that it's redeemed and try to get his money back.

Given the fact that you are basically asking for the most ignorant of ebay sellers when you sell something like this, this most likely will still be a PITA for the seller
If you were to sell a used redemption (which I don't think is immoral provided you are upfront and clear), how would you go about doing it? I'm thinking of selling one in the near future, and would appreciate any advice. Or is selling used redemptions too inherently predatory?
I came across this one the other day and had to shake my head.

If people keep bidding on stuff like this, sellers will just continue to put them up for sale.

Iron clad proof buyers don't read & only bid on the pic.

Paypal should slap the buyer in the forehead.ThoseBackPages said:
Either way, wtf are these sellers thinking? Do they really think there's any chance of getting it sold and avoiding a chargeback?

The sellers will take a negative, but will cash in. Paypal will back you on this. You'll have to fight for it, but you'll keep your money

Am I the only one who thinks having the redemption for an "important" card is kinda cool? Not $80 cool, mind you, but I don't get the feeling the seller is trying to pull a fast one.

I think they are. I have an expired one in my Glen Perkins collection. I bought it because it had his name on it.

Ones that are long expired or cards that were never made make a little more sense.TBTwinsFan said:

I'm imagining that some of these buyers are planning on somehow convincing Topps that they pulled a redemption card that they couldn't redeem. Maybe they'll "oh, I tried to scratch off the code and some of the numbers came off", hoping Topps will not catch the remaining code and find it's been redeemed. Or maybe they're planning on reselling them without telling their buyers these have been redeemed (maybe selling them at a show).
If I came across some late 90's expired Glaus or Rolen auto redemptions, I'd buy them no question. Those would be cool pieces to the collection, and there's a chance that the "worthless" expired cards might be harder to find than the redeemed cards.

This is what I don't get. There's probably a 99% chance this gets challenged after-the-fact by the buyer (I guess there's always that chance that someone is actually wanting a redeemed redemption card)...so why put yourself through the hassle?? We see every day that eBay sides with buyers for a multitude of asinine reasons, so how can the seller expect this to go well. Then, at the end of the day, you're out yor seller fees, right? So how is this worth the firestorm he's eventually going to bring down upon himself?

Wasn't there a recent thread about a board member who won a similar auction for a redeemed redemption card?
