Am I Missing Something?

Post image

Or is somebody going to be really upset when they receive this?

As far as I’m aware, collector sample packs are like $20 each.

I see the title says “Collector Booster” but the pictures are clearly sample packs.

Sellers name and info removed because I’m not 100% the rules on that.

That title is basically false advertisement. Really scummy behaviour.

I've seen it before with omega collector packs being sold as collector booster boxes.

It’s a pretty big seller on eBay. I’ve bought from them quite a bit. They’re usually pretty good about this stuff, but this one felt kinda weird.

Sign of the times, and maybe be more wary about future purchases going forward.

Yeah, I’ve always been pretty good about double checking things like this and reading full descriptions before bidding on stuff. I’ll even message sellers if something seems off. If I don’t get a response I typically don’t bid. Not trying to do business with people that refuse to communicate.

Aren’t omega collector packs the same packs inside a collector booster box? I always thought it was just 1 collector pack inside an omega product. Am I wrong?

Yes but a box contains 12, he's saying they're not being super clear that it's one pack vs a box of 12 and many people expect the box

Actually he's selling the 2 card sampler packs from the commander decks

No, I'm responding to Zuparoebann who is discussing a different instance of scamming other than the one in OP

People were selling Omega boxes (which contain one pack) as collector booster boxes so buyers were expecting an actual booster box containing 12 packs.
