Not sure if this is real or not but if it is, it is a good flip:

$2100 flip in 9 days. I guess that I could have done the same but I did not trust the book and did not want to resell it to another unsuspecting buyer.

Sniping defeats the old shillers

I have to agree with Kav. A few traps you have fallen into:

 

1) buying a PGX book and even worse buying PGX books from bad pictures

2) not checking the forums for the sellers ebay id before bidding

2) not sniping, this allows you to put in your max bid and avoid the shills

 

Ebay is the wild west and I think the maxim caveat emptor applies there more than nearly any other place.

I didn't do the 1st 2 things but I did snipe it. I put my max bid and I was willing to pay the $4k. I could have sold it for more as the other Ebay seller did.

Who is Ryan Elliott? Can you provide more information. It seems like the same books are getting relisted. I can't imagine that anyone seeing these books in person would want to keep them. As everyone keeps saying, look at the book and not the label. I tried contacting PGX several times (email twice) and phone call (twice) and no response. Not happy with their customer service.
