Op with the many original dubrovnik sets for sale / took down his thread ?

https://www.chess.com/fr/forum/view/chess-books-equipment/dubrovnik-chess-set-jakopovic-70485433

Strange to see that the seller with  lots of original dubrovnik chess set (1962, 1950 (3) and 1959 Tournament (2) and Jakpovic (6) , Has taken down his thread & deleted the title .

Agreed, the post was interesting and very strange at the same time.

It’s quite simple to sell something online, in such a way that the buyer can trust the seller, feel protected, and have it be a pleasant transaction.

Apparently that seller has never grasped that concept. Also, a clear picture is worth more than anything else.

It was likely a scam.  Some red flags:

1. It was a recently created account t
2. the original poster would not publicly share photos of the chess sets (or links to a past sale).
3. reports from others about inconsistent pricing

i never reached out to the individual, however, I expect the seller would continue to insist on being anonymous.  I’m really curious about method of payment…. Amazon gift cards?  Western union?  Venmo?  None of these methods protect the purchaser from getting scammed.

All I know is that Dubrovnik talk here on CB&E has gotten *spicy* over the past week. 🌶
