How to NOT run an ebay listing…

I came across this listing today and had to laugh. First off, I love this title…

2008 TOPPS ALL STAR GIANT PATCH JUSTIN MORNEAU CPR-JM

Ok, I’ll admit that the word “GIANT” in the title piqued my interest and I had to check it out. I wasn’t really familiar with any oversized patch card from the All-Star Game for Morneau but I figured I should check it out. It turns out that the card being sold is the one here to the right. Maybe it’s me, but this is a pretty much worthless card and they routinely sell for under $2 on ebay.

This ebay listing is a mess. Not only is there no picture, but the description of the card itself is very vague. It doesn’t tell you what product the card is from and thank goodness there hasn’t been any clueless ebay buyer who has stumbled upon this and placed a bid.

Here’s a tip….even if the card you’re selling is likely not to go for much, take a damn picture!! The last time I checked, the first picture is free so there really is no excuse!
