I'm not wrong yet -- all they've done is send you a form letter. I'll eat my hat if you actually get a call from an investigator.

You wear a hat? Does it look like this?

That hat is much too large. I could eat a smaller one.

Why even waste your time with the cops tbh. Can barely get them to come around for a home robbery these days...

NWA had it right decades ago (and others before that im sure).

That means they're trying to figure out your English.

Mine called, asked plenty of questions, and followed up. Does that count for you to eat your hat?

Could be another seller that's unaware of the original history of these stickers, but I wonder if it's an attempt to start selling them again through another account.

If the latter is true, it's a sneaky attempt obscure, but legitimize, the stickers by posting the commentary from the original auction, with a WorthPoint header.

Beat me to it. Let's all report it. I also messaged the seller.

From the listing: "Never peeled or used. These were used for internal use only within the TSR company. Very rare."

When the seller says "for internal use only," is that like the way a suppository is used?

It means you can tell him where to shove it

Wow, just catching up on this thread...
I saw these things originally get posted on Ebay and I'm so glad that I didn't buy any, but was tempted at the time. Glad you guys are getting your money back through the refunds. I had to do the forced refund process with Ebay/Paypal with one of those faked belt buckles from those other scammers some years back.

I got burned by this scam. It really changed the way that I approach pursuing unknown ephemera for my collection.
