There was a dodgy Ebay sale of an OD&D set and various other items on the Class 4&5 rares page which had an image saying "please do not bid on this item - I want to sell it through my email" and an email address. Not seen anything so blatant before! I meant to post a note about it here but by the time I got time to do it the item had vanished off Ebay and also off that thread.

Missed it by that much...true first print.

Lol. The guy’s got hundreds of things up, from silver service to CNC machines to long wheelbase trucks, all for $1 and all saying he’ll delete any bids. If we all bid on his stuff at $1 he’ll spend hours or days detecting all the bids and trying, and can he ban a bidder from bidding on his stuff? Would a sustained constant campaign of bidding a dollar and seeing if he’ll sell and ship stuff to us not just cause him so much work that he’ll just cease and desist?

Tszii wrote in Interesting Items just ended on eBay:I dont understand it, but this guy lists the same massive amount of top tier items from different accounts with great feedback often. Its it hacked accounts maybe?

Yes, these are hacked accounts with bots likely posting the same fake auctions.

In a lot of cases they're legitimate accounts from long-term sellers.  It's just that their accounts are getting hacked and the scam auctions listed.  In some case the accounts have been inactive for a while, so the seller would likely not even know what has happened for a while, if ever.  In other cases, the eBay accounts are active sellers.  I'm sure that eBay would notify them about the listings, if they didn't catch them first.  I wouldn't be surprised if eBay also at least locks the account to prevent it from being used for fraudulent purposes.

I bid, I lost, Ill regret it :)

I see the odd copy of Beholder come up on ebay but do not often see these specials

Anybody have a a view on the price of the Fighting wheel, this seemed a pretty good price. I did not win it just interested

Plus the wheel was cracked, which considering how rarely they were used (personal opinion!!) was unfortunate. :)
