Shrink wrap junkies bidding against each other?

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Speaking of shrink...

OCE over $300

(and it ain't done yet!)

True, they don't often show up that clean, but still...

(better not be a rewrap)

It doesn't look like it. The shrink matches mine in terms of seam placement.

Ended at $372 + shipping. Wow.

Smoking crack and selling on Ebay is no way to go through life son.

No love for Earthdawn though. :lol:

Very strange. If you look at his past auctions through feedback, he should know what stuff is selling for. Getting desperate for cash?

Question #1: How can this be?

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Question #2: How is it possible to accumulate 300+ negative feedbacks on eBay in one month!!

They also have 311 neutral ratings for a whopping total of 640 bad ratings in the last month.

To be fair, they also have 24,824 postive ratings in the same time period...a staggering amount of business being done.

The negatives and neutrals do not include ratings from people like me, who chose to just take a refund and allowed the matter to drop without posting negative or neutral feedback (which I reserve for willful ripoffs).

They took a beating from whatever went wrong in their system/personnel...some reputation body blows with the collector community. I think it was a bad employee or two...but I am speculating just based on what I experienced.

It's hilarious watching mugs buy when the evidence is that they're gonna get lied to or ripped off. A fool and his money.... I guess they deserve it. :lol:

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I looked at his "Completed Listings" and it doesn't show a single sale, and many of these no-sales were obviously re-listed, at the same price! Maybe alcohol is/was a factor.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I was interested enough to check out a few (pages) of negs. Mostly Magic cards it looks like and a very bad inventory system. They are selling to some countries that are usually best avoided such as Brazil.

Haven't bought from them in awhile. My USA shipping and buying experiences were great but their international shipping has a bad reputation from members here.

My packages were shipped within the USA and the service and packaging were both crap. On the same note, I have shipped over 100 packages to Europe, Australia, and South America and never had a problem.

And if this one reaches $100 I will seriously consider selling my beat to hell copy.

Maybe it was a keyboard mistake...then again, maybe not.
