You are certainly welcome to your opinion. That said, since you have 2 entirely different names on your registration, could you please respond to my PM. thanks..

That being said, VCP has been incredibly helpful over the years. Bobby is responding promptly to questions, despite the time difference and being in Hawaii. Meanwhile every time I login here now I see the huge PWCC banner. Huh?

By entirely different names you mean an incorrect spelling of my first name? I've messaged you twice. And I've been waiting for your phone call for 15 minutes. I'm happy to talk. I'd just love to know how much longer I'm supposed to wait.

Thanks for the chat. Just as I said, just want to make sure we have real people, as much as possible. Sorry for the slight intrusion. Carry on.

No worries! It was great to finally chat with you Leon. Looking forward to some pizza in Chicago! And to all the drama kings out there - name issue was most likely due to my ex-fiance who hacked into my accounts a few years ago. So yes I'm real. Continue on with the convo. Hopefully this doesn't get me in trouble with Leon again!

I've never used VCP in my life, but I'm not sure why people are acting like their API being turned off implicates them in the "conspiracy".

There's certainly a legitimate conspiracy going on, but anybody who has followed Ebay for any amount of time, knows that they have been secretive of their bidders identities for years now, even if they might have been conveniently overlooking tools that revealed this exact thing (they have BTW shut down many other outside tools that has done this through the years).

It wouldn't have taken a whole lot of prodding from PWCC or even one of the bidders who were getting revealed in the Blowout Forums posts, for Ebay to shut down the VCP feed.

Why? There is a little bit of gotcha journalism going on where everything is being questioned. If you read some of the threads at Blowout where scammers actually try to plead their case, they usually have a long line of "not my fault, just following orders, was it really wrong?, God bless" that makes them skeptical of others who are actually telling the truth.

Well then thankfully ebay has the intestinal fortitude to enable resellers and consignors to commit fraud on their site anonymously. If only they took transparency as seriously as Leon.

The deep dish is kind of gross but Chicago thin crust is actually pretty darn good. And really bobbyw? Comments like that is exactly why I left a few years ago. Rude.

(One of) the worst possible things about being in California is the pizza situation. Out here, it's 95% bread with just the tiniest whisper of sauce on top. It's like dipping a loaf of Wonder Bread into an empty Ragu jar. Places that advertise "New York Style Pizza!!!!!!!" (yes, that's how it's usually written) are so full of crap. Theirs is comprised of 'only' 94% bread. Yeah, big difference. The best day of my life in the past few years was when my sister flew out to visit and carefully packed 8 slices of Little Vincent's pizza (from Long Island) in her luggage. I ate like a king that night.
