Thanks guys for updating me on Dayecon.  Now I'm 100% certain he is a schmuk instead of the 99.9% certainty I had before.  Funny though he had a 100% FB rating.  Of course most people probably let it go when the item gets "lost" in the mail.  Only in the ebay world do domestic packages get lost that's why I pushed for the dleivery confirmation.  I paid for it too so I figured I was entitled to it.  He might want to buy a copy of the Guide to Hell because he's going to need it where he's going.

Yup, I'm the other guy he burned. I won two nice modules for a price that was actually pretty reasonable for him. Bleh. Ah well.

Per Coug, I couldn't resist sending him a message - "Hello. Aren't those just lumps of Play-doh? Cheers."

I'll see what kind of profanity I get in return ;)

I was wondering how you block sellers. I couldn't find that option (easily).

Thanks

Sorry about that; it's just a figure of speech. What I meant was that I could live to be 1,000 years old and I'll never place a single bid on any of that clown's auctions. In effect, I've "blocked" him — yes, it's lame, I know.  :)

Well, who wants to bet that our new found Classifeds forum spammer isn't shilling this auction:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


eBay.com Item Bid History

Granted I can't see the bidders names, but look at how the current top bidders high bid just got exsposed(very carefully at that, the 10 minute bid increment between the 2nd and 3rd place bids) and then just magiacally stopped bidding.  This is preceicely the reason that I will never ever bid on a private auction.  If I had more amo I'd report it, but since I can't find out what the second place bidders name is, I can't report it to Ebay. :roll:   In any case, in case someone was planning on bidding on that auction:

AVOID!!! AVOID!!!!  AVOID!!!!!

Exactly.  It's impossible to tell if it's shilling or not.  Which is why bidding on a "User ID hidden" auction is just plain stupid.  

In regards to the bidding pattern, perhaps the second bidder is legitimate but doesn't want to tip the high bidder off.  Sniping would be more efficient, but not everyone is comfortable/familiar with that tactic.  

Doesn't matter, though.  That auction's going too high for a bunch of relatively common items.  Factor in shipping, and you could take a run at a decent rarity; perhaps a 3rd print woody for that much.

Count myself as another victim of dayecon. He apparently decided to make a buck, claiming he held pretty much every super module.

There is sufficient evidence this guy is a fraud that I am sickened by eBay not taking him out.

Thanks, Bclarkie, you are a godsend!!! :D

I saw this auction over in the classifieds and when I saw the hidden bidders I steered clear.

Yes, the hidden bidder thing is STUPID!!!!! :evil:

Anyone have a good idea on best approach for making a claim after 60 days.

I unfortunately went on a long business trip when dayecon "porked" me. Noticed it  a week after the 60 day limit.

Anyone else here seem to get the impression that we now have a troll visiting our board? I kinda get the feeling that there is..........

And I thought that smell was coming from Badmike.... :twisted: .  I think every forum has at least one troll.  It's inevitable.  Dumbasses with way too much time on their hands.

Well we didn't have any trolls, until just recently.
