I have been asked by the buyer to send a $500 Steam card with the item to me that doesn't seem right is the person legit or is it a scam.

Another member had the same request from a buyer they were dealing with not all that long ago

No messaages, just answered your post you put on the forum

We are simply buyers and sellers like you

I do not know who the 'buyer' was that tried to scam the other member, likely throw away email addresses but you are still not allowed to give out anyone's email address on the forum

For all anyone knows it could be a genuine person's email and they have been hacked by the scammer

In any case, this is a scam , no matter what email address they are using

You are going to be a magnet for scammers as you have no Ebay feedback or experience and you're listing a high priced item.

You've also marked the items as being sent as standard mail. At the very least, I hope you send as a parcel for the tracking otherwise I can guarantee many buyers will claim the item as undelivered.

I doubt the OP will have a delivery problem with what they're selling.

I doubt there will be one genuine buyer.

5k seems a bit optimistic.

Given you can buy the whole set PLUS the 4 special ones for $650. If you were stupid enough to buy any of them.
