Found this auction going on ebay, 3 hours left.
But I'm not sure what they're bidding on. Can you tell?

There are 3 bidders. With a listing so vague, and no refunds offered, would you gamble?

I wouldn't bid either! Out of focus and the seller specifically states "No Returns"! What about faults not described?

I just popped back to the auction. In the end 7 bidders put 10 bids on the mystery stamp for a final price of $7.50.
Some brave adventurous souls out there.

What a horrible picture!

Judging by the pictures on the rest of the lots being sold by this seller, this appears to be a deliberate attempt to hide major faults. That is, none of the other photos are out of focus. I might even go so far as to report this item to ebay.

Here is a great example of why SCF auctions can be trusted. If it was listed here we would figure it might be a little fuzzy because of some of the older more computer challenged.

But, yes with the fuzzy picture and saying no returns it would be one to pass on ebay.
