VALIANT READER # 1 RED ALPHA CHAOS EFFECT

I read the auction.
THE CHAOS EFFECT ALPHA FREE GIVEAWAY MINT (RED A)(2 COPIES) TOUGH TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION
Ok, Smashey goes into frenzy deal working mode. I mean 2 high grade CEARS for a nooby like me??? Saw them right as posted and no bids.

"Dear, radar507,
Will you take a buyout? If so, how much?"

"Dear smashey9,
MAKE ME AN OFFER AND WE WILL WORK FROM THERE"

Ok, cool, so I go review his listing to calculate an offer that he will say yes to. And realize in the pic that he has pictures of blue chaos effects (god i love this website, i wouldnt of known any different with all the info found here)

"Dear radar507,
Actually, I will pass. I read red chaos effect alpha, and going by your photos, those are actually the regular blue version. Thanks anyway."

"Dear smashey9,
THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST. I KNOW THAT. IF IT WAS THE RED ALPHA THEY GO FOR ABOUT 100 EACH. THESE ARE BLUE WITH A RED A THATS WHY I INCLUDED A PICTURE TO SHOW THAT.

So basically, he is listing them as "red A" chaos effects, and calling them rare, hoping that some noob like me will not notice the difference, and rip someone off. For christs sake just call them chaos effect, or blue, all the chaos effects have red A's lol.

He knew what he was doing. He was hoping a sucker wouldn't look at the pic

Aside from the lying. $10 is not a bad price for the trades (if you didn't have them) and the valiant reader.

Ya, considering even with priority it could fit easily in a flat rate box.
