just wondering if this is a shill account because the feedback is private.  i am not really good snuffing out stuff like this on ebay being tech unsavvy

thanks everyone

White were at it, lets go ahead and put amazon_gwen on this list:



amazon_gwen



Who kind of got lost in the shuffle.  this was the ID that that fake auction was set up by sir_lance_u_alot_sales immediately after I left my neg to leave an imediate positve after it:



Fake Auction





Also adding to this list while we are at it, also include this on the list to block and avoid:



thedaleks1100



http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... llFeedback



as well as:



white-dalek



http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... llFeedback



These last 2 ID's are the "source" IDs of the trouble makers.  I am not sure if it all the same person just yet, but they are all without a doubt related and also ones to both avoid their auctions and block from bidding.  I will continue to update this if I find more, which based on what already know is extremely likely....

seems to be a thread with the idiot seller/shillers out there -include an underline in your title (and  try and turn the name into a sentence).

As always, great detective work guys!!

Brian, your ability to track these guys down continuously amazes me!

Keep up the good fight lad!

White-dalek is a good personal friend of mine.  He was forwarded this thread and would like to know what makes you say he has done anything wrong, and would like to contact you directly to resolve this issue.  He tried to make an acct here, however it said his email address has been blocked.  He has no idea who thedaleks1100 is, and he has no connection to him.  He lives in Florida, and all of his auctions are legit.  He owned a game store for years, and is basically selling off his inventory now.  Please post here, or PM me how he can contact you to resolve this, because he has done nothing dishonest.

Jezzus, here we ago....again. I am so not in the mood for this crap today and I really don't have time.  So this will be my one and ONLY post.

First off, let's just say the "my friend" thing has already been done before, as a matter of fact its been done to death. Of course conviently he/she can't post here themselves because of some mysterious reason that he/she can't figure out. Lets start out with obvious stuff first:

1) Both sellers are from Florida.

2) Both sellers sell extremely similar RPG items.

3) Both seller have an extremely similar name.

Now moving on to the less obvious stuff:

1)  "Your friend' was conviently and mysteriously emailed a link to this forum.

2)  Your freudian slips are killing you.  Both you and "Your friend" both claim to have no knowledge as to who thedaleks1100 are, yet you somehow know them well enough to know that its a male by your refenece to them as "he". See if you  really had no clue as to who they were you would have refered to them as they-them-he/she (kind of like I am doing right now, since *I* don't know),  but since you do in fact know who you refer to them as a he.

Anything else?

If you phuq with the bull, you get the horns.

Bclarkie=bull
mattlow=impaled

I'm sure he'd be happy to with a little more info, such as YOUR eBay name. You can't expect to be taken seriously until you lay the cards down.

Now on to you Afrika_Corps, I guess I am not going to get a response to my PM am I? Since I know you are the one who pointed white-daleks to this thread and you were on here just yesterday, I guess this means I am not getting a response am I?  Well I'll deal with here then.



So everyone knows, see Afrika_Corps hasn't always posted here under that ID.  He originally signed up on the forum as Austin499 which was the exact same as his Ebay ID. Months later he changed that name on the forum and then 2 days after I had my run in with sir_lance_ualot_sales on June 8th he changed his Ebay ID to thedaleks1100:



http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... daleks1100



and he also deleted his two introductory posts:



viewtopic.php?p=55787&highlight=#55787



and



viewtopic.php?p=55860&highlight=#55860



the problem is that if you look at Alan's follow up post(because the forum doesn't correct it auctiomatically) underneath it, shows this:

Austin499 wrote:Hello everyone, I just recently discovered this website and this is my first post. I have been reading many of the topics and have noticed alot of familiar names from Ebay. I have probaly bidded against some of you guys at one time or another or maybe you have won some of my rpg auctions before on the rare occasion that I actually run auctions.

16 Large boxes make up my collection, mostly 1st & 2nd edition. My favourite Items are Dungeon Magazine, High Level adventure modules, ( Throne of Bloodstone is my favourite) and early TSR  items. I have been working on an original Campaign module using 2nd Edition rules for about 3 years now. I have 3 spiral notebooks filled with details and original maps. It is an Underdark campaign set in a ruined cursed Dwarven city. I am constantly revising it.

which although doesn't really say much as far who they are, it clearly indicates what his old User ID was. Now why in the owrld would AfriKa_Corps be trying to cover his tracks?  Hmm.. I wonder.  The we find out that good old Afrika_Corps is also located in the great state of Florida(just like a multitude of those other IDs):

eBay listings

And now were cooking.  Then came the infamous "PM" from him stating his innocence (of which I got several queries about later on from others):

Afrika Corps wrote:I assure you I am in no way connected to those people. If you look at my July 07, 2007 post under Collecting General - Idiot Bidders List; I warned everyone that Sir_lance_u_alot_sales and this_is_mine_so_piss_off are the same user and for everyone to block them both. I know this because I have also dealt with that prick and did some research on my own. Please do not associate me with those people, its not nice or responsible. I read these forums regularly. I have my reasons why I edited a few of my original posts and I assure you it has nothing to do with you or those creeps.

To which I responded with this:

Thats great, except that post was a full month after I had posted that rpg_4u_and_me(which is the same ID as this_is_mine_so_piss_off that was switched on June 18th) was the same person.

Care to elaborate?

Oh wait, I never got a response....

Ok, I will say this once. Not going to turn this into a flamewar or anything. It really doesnt bother me that much anymore.

Bclarkie, you accused me of being a "source" id connected with a problem person on ebay because (1.) I am also from Florida? Florida has one of the highest populations compared with most states in the Country, so yea there are lots of people in Florida, no coincidence there. (2.) I edited my introductory post 2 days after you had a problem with sir_lance_u_alot_sales. Coincedence? well yea. Actually the very posts I edited are still there captured by Killjoy quoting me. So if you want to know what I edited you can read it on the very page that I edited them cause they were quoted. The reason I edited it was cause I thought it was a silly way to introduce myself to this forum (me bragging about a campaign I was working on, and asking if Rob Kuntz would publish it for me? pretty silly so I edited it, but like I said, the original was quoted by killjoy in his following posts on that page.

Im an honest and nice person, and enjoy reading the posts on this site about D&D, So I was surprized when I saw it had become hostile to me and for the reasons you listed wich really does not make much sense.

As for my interaction with Sir_Lance_uwhatever..A while backI had a really common rpg item listed for auction (really not worth more then $5 at best) and that guy sent me a message asking if they could do a buy it now for $40.00 so I got suspicious checked his feedback and saw it went private, thats when I also found out about the fake auction involving Amazon_Gwen..so I blocked the bidder and never heard anything back.

One last thing.. the very reason I discovered this website was I would have cougarrinard always bidding on my auctions even when I stated US only cause I dont want to deal with hassle of shipping overseas. Cougarrinard kept ignoring my auction listings anyway and continued to bid until I blocked him. So I was curious as to what this guys problem was so i did an internet search with his id and this website popped up.
