Looks pretty ok. Just the location is a bit off for roleplaying items (phillipines???)

This one was pretty shady. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this since it's T&T and not a TSR product, but I thought my fellow collectors would want to be aware of the names of people trying to scam us on e-bay.

In the bidding history you will note that camluz3 bid $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $6.50, $9.00, and $10.50 and then (once he was high bidder) retracted the last bid because he had "entered wrong number". Then he sent me an e-mail through e-bay that said "I canceled the last bidder due to I know him and perfer not to sell to him. Sorry for not informing you earlier."

Well, which was it?

To top it off, my sister won the auction and when I told her all about this double-reason thing she said that paypal sent a payment to camluz2. You think that camluz3 (bidder) and camluz2 (seller) are somehow related? Hmmm.

We reported it to e-bay.

That may be the worst(aka stupidest) bit of shilling that I have ever seen. I am going to report him as well. By the way both the bidder and seller are from Michigan, it may the most obvious shill I have ever seen on EBay in 6 years.

Wow, what blatant shilling, good catch...I think Ebay has removed the users while investigating, meaning they took your complaint seriously.

Our good friend Tonya at it again...Notice the question and answer below the picture. That's right...she actually says she thinks it is the original shrinkwrap....

I guess Ebay eventually gets around to getting the bad ones.

well what goes around comes around....he only got what he deserves...

couldnt happen to a nicer person  :roll:

Our friend Cougie is making me giggle again. Apparantly one of his buyers received three goods with missing pages, they left a Neg, a neutral and a positive, Cougie left three Negs and the following excuse:


  typical newbie, rarther leave neg FB than e-mail 4 replacemnet, photocopy refund

    I tell you what, when I buy a D&D item online, I LOVE to have freaking PHOTOCOPIES sent me when the original items have been sent incomplete because I'm an incompetent moron, that makes everything better.  Sheesh.  
  I know as a seller, I would be pissed at a buyer who left Neg feedback before I had a chance to deal with the situation, but I wouldn't leave negs for positives or neutrals, and I wouldn't offer photocopies for replacements (I'd simply refund the money).  
  And he's still throwing out the "Titanium Powerseller" bullshit.  He'd need about 2000 more sales a month to even think about getting into the territory of $150,000 on Ebay monthly.

To be fair, I have never had any bad experiences with Coug. I know his item descriptions are vague and you need to ask about condition etc. but he's always been open and honest with me.

He's not out to rob anyone like out friend Jonb/ETC/TGE.

I had a bad experience with Flying Dork who really lived up to his name. I paid him over £100 for magazines that never turned up. I even paid for additional insurance, tracking and next day delivery.

A week later I e-mailed the guy and he said 'Oh, I just posted it.' Two weeks later I get his contact info from eBay and phone the guy and he says 'I don't know where your magazines are. Go complain to PayPal.'

Big victory . Today I got my money back (well most of it anyway).

So 'Flying Dork' I'd have to offer up as a Shady Dealer. His attitude sucks for someone with that amount of positive feedback. If you buy from him, make sure you use a credit card. I didn't and he tried as hard as he could to keep my money.

I must say, that's the first time PayPal have ever come through for me. Ususally the seller empties their accounts real quick. Someone must have really been on the ball in PayPal.

Titanium is <b>$150,000</i> a month, and I just can't see that happening selling RPGs, even for someone crazy like Coug. At $30 average, he'd have to sell 162 items a day.. So more realistically, he'd have to be selling 500+ items a day, which is simply impossible.

I'm a bronze level PS, but I can't see any difference in the info between me and Coug.

And after reading this thread, now I know why the item I bought from him was covered in stamps, instead of being paid for at the PO, heh.

You could do an advanced search by seller, select the checkbox to include Completed listings in the last 30 days, and break out the calculator...I don't think Cougar is anywhere near that, though.
