Hard to say based on the pic, but if he is local and you can meet with him, it would be better to inspect it in person first. Also, bring your friend and leave your money at home - you don't want to get robbed!

As to why someone was asking he would sell it for for 2000 is that you need all the pieces to win the 100K, so it's actually worthless to the seller without the other pieces.

Why would he sell something for 2 grand if its worth 100 grand?


What hadrian said.

Even so. It still seems fishy.

That's bunk. I'm sure it's run the same way as US McD Monopoly games. There's one rare one per set. Either that one he's selling is the rare one, or it's worth pennies. If it's the rare one, there's no way he's going to sell it for less than cost. He and his mates could just eat some burgers and pick up the cash. So either he's selling a fake & looking to jack you for your cash, or he's selling a common to you for a ridiculous amount. Either way it's a scam.

An alternate and perhaps safest solution would be if the guy seems legit, let him keep the piece, jointly collect and split the prize. If it's fake he won't try to claim the prize and if it's real you still get 50K each with no risk.

Assuming that it's like the US monopoly games, the rare pieces all have phone numbers on them that you call to redeem your prizes. So no, it ain't.
