Ebay Question...

I told him to email me what he had...this is what was sent...Pretty hard to believe a guy could assemble that nice of a collection and then sell it all off...

There is one way to find out, but its a round about way. If I know someone's Ebay ID I can search for things he has won. But you need to already know the ID. If you also sell things then your ID would show up on those.

It's time consuming, but it's possible, through continually capturing member ids through other buyer and seller ids posted in feedback. Literally possible to create a list of several thousand member id's (and respective feedback #) over the course of 8-12 hours of drilling through feedback responses. Bonus is when brief descriptions of lots won, and winning bid amount is also captured. With that info, possible to create a brief member profile of the types of items, and what he/she is willing to.

I'm not sure to be scared to fall asleep tonight or to laugh at how much time this guy put into the operation...Also, price was $1500 each if anyone is interested!!

I agree with Vincent. I've gone trolling before when I was outbid on an item I looked at the winning bidders feedback score and what % he has dealt with that seller. If it is high then go into the sellers feedback and try and matchup feedback scores to find who won the item i was interested in. It doesn't always work and is time consuming but sometimes you can find out who won items. I have never contacted the bidder, just curious to see who's buying.

I also remember getting a message that is eerily like this one a couple years ago or so right after I purchased a fairly pricey autograph. I remember him telling me he was going to be in my area and could meet me if I was interested...of course I never responded. Back then it was easier to ebay stalk someone. Also I live nowhere near maryland and i'm positive this guy is the same spammer

Brandon,

Funny thing is, the guy is out of Maryland, but said he would be visiting family in Carmel, Indiana...That's about 5 minutes from my work and 20 from my home...
