Re: How big of a threat?
give him negative feedback once he has 3 negative feedbacks he will be kicked off e-bay. e-mail other people who have won theese tokens too they might not be aware that they are fakes. let them know about this sight so they can compare and see for themselves.It's hard to get a new account now days once your kicked off

Re: How big of a threat?
I will be sending my Ebay complaint in tonight, 8pm my time right after I leave feedback IF I do not have my funds in FULL returned. And if Ebay gets not just 3 messages about this seller, but rather 3 international messages, that may (then again maybe not), have them deal with the seller.you won't be kicked of of ebay if you have 3 negative feedback!

Re: How big of a threat?
i also contacted the other buyers of these fake tokens from him.
i pointed this site and thread to them out.
hopefully they read it and join our little crusade.
btw he refuses to give me my money back before he got his card back, i asked him if he was afraid we used it as evidence.

Re: How big of a threat?
actual answer from him:
Hello,
Im afraid of nothing.If you want refund send me the cards first.If
you want complain go ahead.
++++++
i just filed a complaint with ebay.
silver.paladin, bigfatkitty, you can do the same if you want.
He definitely is not going to give us money back, before he got his piece of cardboard back.
I also left him nagative feedback, telling everyone he is selling fake cards!

Re: How big of a threat?
I have left my feedback. Fraud form is useless in this circumstance. First, have to wait until at least 30 days after auction, and secondly, auction winning must be $25 or greater. I will wait until the 30 days are up, and I will try to post a Fraud form alsosorry bout triple posting.

Re: How big of a threat?
sorry, wrong link.
this should be the correct one:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_inline/index.html
and then this order:
Report Transaction Problems > Fraud Concerns > I paid but the item was misrepresented or fake
plz do this, if ebay geets enough complaints, they'll kick him of of ebay.
i also filed a complaint at paypal, explaining the whole story.
they already contacted zack
click on: security centre at the bottom of any paypal page.

Re: How big of a threat?
Hi Members.
I strongly recommend not to bet on these Minagishi
Tokens,they looked pretty faked to me,just having a look at the scans.I may be wrong but I really don't think so ;)

Re: How big of a threat?
I was looking at the tokens by this seller also, and decided that they did not quite look 'right' to me either. Can't say what was not right, but just the feeling that there will probably be a problem with these cards.Hi Members.

Re: How big of a threat?
The color looks right, but I'd like to see a larger or higher dpi scan.

Re: How big of a threat?
Unless the scan (of all the cards) is of low/poor quality, I would say that the coloring is too dark, at least in regards to the Goblin token.The color looks right, but I'd like to see a larger or higher dpi scan.
Taking another look at the tokens on Ebay today, I notice Nexus Entertainment also has a number of tokens available - and I believe they are a good dealer, as that location has Magic tourneys and pre-release tourneys - the primary ones in Alberta at least - if not all of Western Canada.
Upon taking another look at both sets of tokens, it appears to me that the corners are different. Not square like the earlier tokens. I will have to look at this when I get home, but I think the corners on the Nexus tokens look like mine, and the other one is too rounded.
(or maybe I am just seeing things!)

Re: How big of a threat?
I was referring to the bird token. The color on the fake tokens have all been washed out not too dark.
Again if I saw it in person, I'd know.
