And since I do not have many feedbacks (only 14) one negative will kill my rating.

Pull your $50 bid now. As for the $30 one - I am not sure what you can do with that - except hope to hell that there will be some crazy sniping near the end of the auction. If not, you may want to consider the $30 as a hard earned lesson in ebay scams Undecided

Anyone else think of other options?

Someone just jacked up my $1.50 bid on the box for tonight.  It is now at $10.50.  This really sucks.  I can always ask the seller to cancel my bids.

You can try, but if he didn't respond to your email about shipping costs, he might not respond to your request to cancel the bid.

Bidding for these cards almost always goes crazy in the last few minutes, so don't give up hope yet.  Plus, complaints have been filed, and it's possible eBay will do something before your auction ends.

I have wonderful news!!!!  I was outbid for the one that ends tonight.  Now I still have the $50 one in there.  Instead of retracting it right now, I can wait until tomorrow and see what all of these end up going for.  If they are all over $50, I would rather take my chances without having a bid retraction against me.  If they do not go that high, I may either retract it completely or retract and change my price to a lower amount.  I am a bit curious to see if it is real or not.  And if not, I don't mind spending a few dollars gamble to find out.  Just not $50. So now we wait to see until tomorrow.  I just find it kind of odd that he is selling all the games as well.  Wouldn't you guys think you could get more money listing them separately?

PS>  Look at the auctions again.  The prices are starting to get up there.  In ways, i hope it is legit because I feel bad for the people spending a lot of money.  Like I said, I don't mind losing some, but a lot is hard to get over.

May I ask, how much are you willing to pay for a box ?

That's a hard question.  I was willing to pay a lot, until I bought one for $50 off of someone (that price includes the shipping charge).  He has no more left, I already tried, but I thought for sure it was a retail box until I got them.  Now it is hard to want to spend more than that.  Of course, I would go a little higher if I knew for sure it was legit, but I would never spend $200 on one.  I just feel bad for those people who spend a lot on this auction and it ends up being a fake.  I guess I will need to watch this guys feedback and see what happens a few weeks from now.

The person who outbid me is winning a few of those auctions for $51.  If this really is a scam, I would hate to be him.

PS.  Thank you all for helping me with my worries about this.  If it wasn't for all of you, who knows how much I would have spent.  And I know there is a chance they are real, but I want to be safe, rather than sorry.  Thank you again.
