I was approached today by a "Daniel Brown" via eBay Trading program. But he does not sell on eBay. He asked if I was interested in selling for him. The offer was to buy for $25.00 a Box of MTG Booster and sell it on eBay for $5,000 for him. He takes 80% and I keep 20%. I suggested that he provide to me on consignment a sample... I am not sure if he legit?? I saw an earlier posting re: this guy's name, but I was unable to post to that topic.. any thoughts.. or new info.UPDATE: 2/8/2013 -- Thank you all... for your guidance and honesty. I felt the same -- a fraud!.. IN ANSWER TO SOME COMMENTS BELOW--FYI, thankx: From: Poster/toni2177-- his original email to me was sent from -- Daniel Brown <theycallmedaniel@yahoo.com> his pricing page is: http://www.sellrarethings.net phone# (312) 509-5974 FYI.

Jen Cheng strikes again! Unfortunately, the real Danny Brown seems to be the target of Jen's crazy schemes for some weird reason known only to Jen Cheng. Jen was banned from our LGS and continues to try and scam people online using the names of real, innocent people in our community. The real Danny Brown is a very nice guy and a pleasure to trade and play Magic with, and I'm absolutely sure that if he ever did want to scam someone, he would put some sort of effort into making the scenario/situation realistic and would present it to someone in a clear way, devoid of Jen's signature terrible English. I hope that in the future, should Danny ever wish to trade here on MOTL, his reputation won't be tarnished by the wrong-doings of a disturbed individual.

We shut him down locally. I asked for evidence that he successfully scammed anyone here on MOTL and was greeted with silence. Can't do anything about that.

And he's not exactly right in the head. I slept with a gun at my bedside for a couple weeks because he threatened to "end" me... Not sure beating him up is the way to go here.
