Here is my story...
I saw the box break for the Donruss Elite Extra Edition. The price seemed high to me so I did some research and wound up buying my own lot of 250 Hobby Packs for $280. Bad OMEN.. their eBay ID was KARDSHARKS. Just like the group box break, my packs were searched. I received no jersey or patch cards. In fact some of the packs had retail price tags on them. Scans below. Text from the auction stated...
These packs came directly from Donruss packaged and sealed as blister packs. They are NOT repackaged packs from open boxes and have absolutely NOT been searched!
The buyer will receive 250 factory sealed blister packs!!
I contacted the seller and he said he stands by his statement. yes, I saved the e-mail message. Interesting address on the box caught my eye. Beckett Associates eBay department. At first I thought this was Beckett Magazine but I did a quick Google Search for Beckett Associates and guess what! They are the people that stock the retail stores. Here is a link to their web site.

They took their retail returns and call them "directly from Donruss" and then resell them on eBay. They screwed me over big time. I guess it's time to contact Donruss and the Better Business Bureau in Bedford park, IL.
Any advice on how I can turn this over to the Blog community to draw some attention to this scam?
