Yep, that rascal bid on lots using multiple ID's. He's actually done it on some of my lots. The funny thing is that he's actually bought and paid for these lots. I am trying to fathom as to what the problem is here, and as to why ebay ever gave this any credibility is beyond my comprehension. To attack someone for this is sheer lunacy and shows a lack of understanding of good business principles. Frankly, its a good practice for buyers in a competitive field to do to throw off the competition.

The fact is that MANY serious buyers have multiple ID's. I'll put a tracking bid on a lot under my regular ID, but I rarely buy under it. The access for others to see what I have paid for an item or what I am pursuing is not something that I wish to be known. If the item in question is an area that I am known for, why should I tip my hand? Why should I give them the opportunity to run the price up on me?

I have done business with Brian Daniels both buying and selling. All of our transactions have been professional, cards accurately graded, payments have been fast, and shipments have never been delayed for any reason. He is more that welcome to bid on any of my lots under as many ID's as he wishes to use.

I have enjoyed reading this thread. It has been quite enlightening as to the ethical standards of certain parties.

Hopefully the person who made the complaint to ebay has had a lesson in intelligent business practices and has enough character to apologize for this act of foolishness. Maybe Daniels might even accept. If it was me, I wouldn't, but then again I'm not the forgiving type, especially when I am on the receiving end of an unwarranted, vindictive attack.
