Reread the ad -

Paragraph 3.

He doesn't OWN the ball. It has simply been offered to him and he states he cannot outright afford it. He's trying to get others to help him raise the funds to buy the ball.

This is indeed illegal!!! The seller was NOT offered this ball. It is for sale on Meigray.com available to the general public.

20,000 shares at $20 a piece? That's $400,000. Even if he keeps "51%" of the shares, he's still making $196,000, assuming he can find enough stupid people to invent in this scheme.

Meigray has been contacted.

By the way, anyone want to buy "shares" of any of my game used or autographed memorabilia? If so please contact me.

PS just kidding...

I filed a report with eBay.

And by the way, I tried to add the item to my cart just for the hell of it (meigray.com) and the quantity was "0 available".

Hey guys. If anybody wants to invest in a Placido Polanco bat, let me know. I'm selling 1000 shares for $10 a piece.
