EXPOSING Net54 member BUBBLEBATHGIRL

[baez578]

I want to start off by saying that this isn't something I normally do. I'm on these threads like many of you to share my collections, my knowledge of certain players, sets, etc and to speak with like-minded people about our similar passion.
However, from time to time, I have to park aside the friendly posts to expose certain individuals that merit exposure.

This is the case with net54 member "bubblebathgirl"

For those of you that don't already know. BBG has done a lot of damage on the CU forum by complaining to the mods and subsequently getting many good members banned.

At first glance, the bans seem legit as the poster might write an angry post that flirts or breaks the forum rules. But, looking into it in more detail, it's quite clear that the poster has hit their tolerance level with this member.

For me, this all started with a thread where BBG was looking to sell wrappers to collectors that might want to collect them. After some concern from many members, he agreed to mark them with an X for re-sale (which we all seemed to agree on). But then, we found this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-TOPPS-B...p2047675.l2557

When he was confronted, he ignored all relevant questions regarding our obvious concerns - the most obvious question being "why would you sell the wrappers and gum?" Instead of doing the right thing and answering our questions, he began a pattern of ignoring all relevant questions pertaining our concerns, cherry picking the safe questions and answering those in great detail, and writing on other posts as if nothing ever happened.
This, of course, infuriated most of us and led to posts that ended up getting many banned temporarily and even permanently from CU. He, of course, led this charge of banning and suspending by PMing the mods (which I'm sure he will do here as well)

Most recently, he has been banned from CU for attacking the credibility of one of our best members (which is quite ironic).

This, of course, came after we challenged his sale price of a sealed case of 79 Topps BB on the BST forum. Most notably, he discredited others for selling similar items and claiming their prices were too high. But, now that he's selling a similar item, it commands an absurd premium which balloons a $15K case to $25K.

The exchange on that thread is why he's been banned from CU and is now trying to sell this case on net54.

I'm writing this post because I feel the need to inform members of his actions so that they can make their own judgments. I'm also writing this to present BBG with yet another opportunity to confront all of our relevant questions.

In a hobby that's plagued with resealers, forgeries, re-slabs, etc... It's important to know your motives for selling these items, and your motives for ignoring most of us when you feel the need to. You attack members when you see fit and ignore when we make sense.

Simply put, If you're looking to sell a case of 79 topps bb on these forums for $25K, it's in your best interest to clean up your reputation first.

Answer our questions, don't treat us like fools, gain our respect back....and perhaps you will be embraced again here and on other forums as well. If you made mistakes, just admit to them and watch how quickly we will let all of this pass.

I hope to finally see a response this.

Thanks

***In the interest of not getting banned from CU again and keeping my promise to the mods there, I will not post links to the threads.
Also, some may argue that this member should be ignored which I don't agree - especially when someone potentially is willing to give up a hefty sum of $$ to someone with a tarnished reputation. If you still want to buy from this member, at least you have been warned by a fellow member first***
