I love how some sellers on Ebay try and mislead people. take the following auction for example. Seller has a Rubies $35 TCM remake mask...trims hair and paints "red" on stitches....now all of a sudden the mask is worth $400??????????....and to top it off he wants $25.00 to ship it!.................. <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/down.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":down:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"down.gif\" /> <a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.com/LEATHERFACE-MASK-RARE-CUSTOM-TEXAS-CHAINSAW-MASSACRE_W0QQitemZ180136303405QQihZ008QQcategoryZ60361QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\" target=\"_blank\">http://cgi.ebay.com/LEATHERFACE-MASK-RARE-...1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Ya that guy said he got it from a Steve Miner estate sale and it\'s a screen used prop. I emailed him to tell him it\'s a crappy store bought predator mask but he never responded. I guess these guys can throw ebay money for listing fees all they want . We\'ll just laugh it up here

I just emailed the guy, he says he realises he was ripped off when he bought it and just wants to make his money back!
Ebay Idiots - SuperDanDrista - 07-04-2007
Ya so it\'s OK to rip someone else off to make his money back....it\'s ok though, I don\'t think anyone is that dumb to spend 300$ on that piece of crapola
Ebay Idiots - travsall - 07-04-2007
This is why I HATE ebay for masks and props, it\'s a joke, ya got assholes trying to sell mass produced crap for hundreds cause they see some high end piece get that much and don\'t know the difference. Or just a blatent scammer trying to rip people off. And then when ya do put something nice on there, if it doesn\'t get pulled, you don\'t get near what you wanted cause the market is flodded with junk! Ebay is great, for other stuff, but as soon as it\'s something like masks, props etc, it\'s a REAL crapshoot, and it keeps getting worse. I wish there was a way to report a scammer and just have his stuff booted. But bottom line, you can sell what you want for what you want, so if he want\'s to take a $35 mask dab a little red on it and poof up the hair, then list it for $175 he can, I just hope he has to pay the damnf fees everytime, it\'s an idiot tax.
