You hit it right on the doorknob Sun Tzu...the person MIGHT have tickets, but they will then get their wife, gfriend, bfriend, themselves, whomever, to sign on with a different ebay user id, and then that person will "win" the raffle.
If anyone fell for this they need help. And I am afraid there have been as one person left the following 'positive' feedback, the only way he is tracking the contestants who have to pay him to be entered:
"GOOOO ILLINI!!!!dhoyt@mchsi.com"
This guy is definitely a scam artist. This link is to another item this guy sold...a signature of Guy Chamberlin on an index card. Read the description of the item at the link:

Here is the neutral/negative feedback that the buyer left for 2 autographs he bought out of stupidity:
Very very Questionable signatures! Buyer tanknj1 ( 513) (buyer)
Reply by dieuponastar (scam artist): guaranteed to be authentic
Follow-up by tanknj1: Died April 4, 1967, I doubt they had black sharpies or markers in 1967!
Very very Questionable signatures! (for 2nd item) tanknj1 ( 513)
Reply by dieuponastar: found out, sharpies invented in 1964, thanks for the bad name though buddy
Follow-up by tanknj1: Your signatures are not real, Stop Selling them until you have real ones!!!!!!!!
Smitty,
A much easier way to get around scalping tickets is offering something else cheap in value up for auction and then offer 2 'complimentary' tickets with the cheaper item. That way, anything over the value of the tickets can be put towards the other item.
