I wonder if your post count weighs down the system like 100 posts in a thread do? So at 10,000 posts will Foul have to lock your account?  |

With his number of posts, Al's probably already filled over a hundred pages already
Woo Hoo, 500 for me -watch out Al! |

Well if its 20 posts per page, then yes he has
Side note for Scott: can the locked thread have its priority removed so it doesn't stay at the top of the forums?
Side note for everyone else: Um, Ebay down, because no one has linked anything. And yes I realize I'm not either, but that's because I'm part of the 'in crowd'

I wrote the seller 4 times early on and he never responded back.
Now there is a note on the listing stating he is out of town till the day after the auction ends which happens in 4 hours.
(So he is gone till Tomorrow at this point).
It seems to me the seller simply did not want to answer any more questions about it or to tell anyone else that the set was incomplete, hoping folks would get invloved in a bidding war for a book in an otherwise empty box (Though he does not say this in the listing). He has offered no description of the box contents and simply lists the game name, author and date, even though he most often describes in detail his listings and he also usually offers pictures of all of the contents for his other game box sets. In fact many of his game box set listings include SEVERAL pictures of the contents, inluding going as far as unfolding game maps in the pictures.
Instead of posting that he would be gone, it would have taken NO longer to state the exact contents of the box.
BTW: That note was not there two days ago.
This guy knows exactly what he is doing here.
He and his store belong in the shady dealer thread. |

And it sold for $100.99.....................
Wonder if/when the buyer gets the package that he might have any questions for the seller regarding the fact that the only thing he actually bought were a 144 page book and a box, and that most of the original contents were not inside and nothing was stated in the listing?
I have a book and a box for sale.............. and the additional tables sheets missing from the above listing too..........
no maps though...............
CHEAP................ |

Maybe someone should warn the buyer so he knows? |

That's the kind of seller that should get absolutely hammered under the new rules, and I hope he does.

Mike seems to be quite aggressive these days. Did someone do something wrong to him? |
