Ebay Scammer

[slidekellyslide]

He's relisted it as an "RP"....I guess it pains him to call it a reprint. Also he says "his loss could be your gain."

[slidekellyslide]

I had an email conversation with this guy letting him know that he's being discussed in a collector's forum. Here is his response to me.

"There pulled but I'm not the only one in this world who has boughten something on here and resold it its ebay a world wide garage sale and flea market I did put rp on it not my fault people were bidding on it"

He has now changed his ebay name to "daddyof41336".

How I see it is yes he was wrong for trying to put it up there as the real deal but the bidders are just as dumb for bidding on these items but that's the risk one takes because if you guys can see where he bought that card for a penny as a RP so can the bidders so instead of emailing him and messaging him the obvious you guys should've done that to the bidders but hey don't be mad at him the mickey card had a bid at about 350 the ty was 80 so was lou he had RP in description and in the notes again that's the risk we all take on ebay I'm sure that guy isn't the only one on ebay doing that just look there's thousands of cards that are being sold like that and why do you guys care your not bidding on it and it's not on any baseball card websites one could say your mad cuz he was gonna make money on them again that's on the bidders

Wow. Where do I begin? I am presuming that you are not the scammer though many on the board will probably think other wise. First, he was trying to sell an item that he knew was a reproduction because he bought it as such. I don't give a damn about what ebay allows people to get away with or not. That is fraud and it is a crime. The fact that it is difficult to prosecute does not make it less of a crime. Only a morally bankrupt moron would think that it is okay to cheat people because "it is on them". Second, it would help people to understand your run on rant if you used the punctuation marks on your keyboard.

No I am not the scammer just saying if people are going to rip him over it then yall need to get on eBay and do the same to them because there are thousands n thousands doing the same thing not just with sports cards but everyday items I agree it was wrong but the bidders are just as stupid because if you few know there RP im sure they do too start contacting the bidders and let them know as well I'm on the fence on this one not I'm not agreeing with the seller just saying he is doing what a lot on there do and the bidders should no better bid with confidence

Seriously? The seller buys a reprint for less than a nickel, tries to sell it as real, then when caught adds 'rp' to his description, then STILL gets it ripped down by ebay because he is....scamming. And you are on the fence?!?

I hope there are spikes on that fence and that you fell on it from two stories.

Hi Gruber

[slidekellyslide]

Heh...some douchebag just pulled my information from ebay. His name is Chandler Thompson. His ebay user id is thous.3xut2dr - he has nothing for sale, but I checked his feedback left for others and not surprisingly his grammar and misspellings match up with our scammer. I got a phone number too, but he didn't answer the phone when I called.

Something should be done to your English teachers.

This has to be the longest sentence I've ever tried reading.

Long story short, no one deserves to be scammed, so don't point the finger at the buyer and say they shoulda woulda coulda. Everyone should do their hw, but at the end of the day, it's the sellers fault 100%.

Ummmm....how stupid does this Armystrong7979 guy think we are? The original seller name of the fake Gehrig card was stonesour7979. He also has the exact grammar errors in his email to me that he posted here. I told him what forum he was being discussed on.

The scammer has made his appearance in this thread.

1) Take a breath;

2) Your logic is illogical;

3) Anyone that buys a reprint and then tries to sell it without listing it as a reprint is a both a crook and a punk and deserves a punch in the chops.

not sure a "crook and a punk" or "punch in the chops" is generation correct... I'd go with "douche and a sh*tstain" and "throat punch"...

(sorry but it had to be said, or written in this case)

U could be right.

I think this thread is fun. Don't you think this thread is fun? I think this thread is a lot of fun.

I think run on sentences are fun. Don't you think run on sentences are fun? I think run on sentences are a lot of fun.

I think stupid people are fun. Don't you think stupid people are fun? I think stupid people are a lot of fun.

[Eric72]

In any event, any scumbag scammer wandering into Net54, trying to publicly justify a business model designed to rip people off, should be put through the ringer and asked to explain their actions.

Just my two cents.

Best regards,

Eric

I am getting a headache reading this scammers posts but I do have one question,, you say that board members should notify the bidders, just how do we do that??

[RichardSimon]

He has relisted this card.

You just got to marvel at these illiterate douche bags.

[Armystrong7979]

You notify the bidders the same way I was notified. If I wanna use punctuation I will I use my phone not computer. I'm not illiterate I have a masters in restaurant mgmt I just choose not to punctuate.

The prior post said the seller was illiterate, not you.

I can't even imagine what a post typed on your phone would look like, if this is coming from an actual keyboard.

Please, please - use your phone...just once!

Geez, you really are stupid.
How are we supposed to write to the bidders?
The only person who can see the full name of the bidders is you.
But since you have told us to write to the bidders, then please list them all here so we can write to them and warn them about your auctions.
