I am glad that I am not the only one to have that image lurking in my head.  *shivers*

I think I fat-fingered my bid on this lot, I was supposed to have typed 61.19 (I think), but regardless, what do you guys think about the 0 feedback bidder?   He was created recently, and doesn't have any other bids that I could find via an Adv Search with the ID as a bidder:
eBay.com Item Bid History

Am I being paranoid??

No  

Hmmm, thanks for the input guys.  I'll see if I can sleuth anything else up....

Hi I am new to the forum.

Wow coug and caliver both seem famous.

I have had dealings with both. For the most part they were OK. I had some problems with each at one time or another but they were always sorted out.

Coug.

I had an item arrive covered with pen marks inside but he did replace it.

I had items not arrive a few times but he did send them out seperatly.

His postage is erratic sometimes fair and sometimes laughable (He seems to hike it up if you get the items really cheep).

I get what people are saying about his attitude as I have got a couple of fairly offensive emails. I don't see why he would feel a need to do that.

The thing is so long as I get the books cheep and in the right condition I will probably still buy from him despite his flaws. Some of the items I have got were insanely cheep probably because so many people won't deal with him.

Caliver

Not so many problems with caliver.

Bad packing and poor communication at times. I have noticed the illegal items for sale though but I just don't go near them.

I don't know if this is bad enough to call this guy a "shady dealer", but without a doubt he is flat out lying in his auction description and this thread needs a bump anyway.

He claims that, "Shipping will be the actual cost.  Not making any money off Shipping" and gerously provides a link to the USPS.  The problem is that he is offering USPS Parcel Post shipping for $7.65 which is clearly at least a $3.00 handling fee in that cost.

Yet he only charges $4.36 for all 3 priest spell compendiums:

Well, I am changed my mind, this guy should be in the Shady Dealers thread.  His shippings costs are increasing as the more auctions that he lists, yet the items in question are of the same size:

eBay listings?

I just sent him a question inquiring about the lies in the auction description, lets see how he responds.

Well here is the response to my question:

I can not tell you. That is why i have the web site I use for Ship linked in the description. I can not tell you other wise. But I will use parcel post and will charge that price!

Huh?!

I'm asking for opinions here.  I recently purchased a lot of 9 hardcover, mostly 2nd edition, books.  The listing described the books in VERY good shape.  The books arrived and were in decent shape but 5 of the books had laminated covers.  The listing made no mention of this, other than to ask questions about specific items.  Asking a seller if books have a laminated cover is, in my mind, not a typical question.  I emailed seller about why this wasn't mentioned and am awaiting reply.  Is it just me or would anyone else feel a bit deceived?

Here's the link to the listing:

Basic answer is yes... I would say the seller was looking at them as a player though rather than a collector

I don't think I would feel deceived about this one.  I would probably feel disappointed with the ones that are laminated but not deceived.  The seller doesn't give much of a description of the books at all.  If you wanted a better description about marks, highlighting, etc that should have been asked and the laminating might have been brought up.
