Question about your item Marketplace Safety Tip If this email is an offer to directly sell you an item without bidding on and winning the item on eBay, please report it to us immediately and do not respond. An offer to sell an item directly to another eBay member through email violates eBay rules. It is also extremely unsafe to purchase an item through this email system regardless of the seller's claims or feedback, as you lose the benefit of eBay's purchase protection programs and risk losing your money. Dear aneoth,You asked:"What a shame. I would truly love to purchase both the SW Nanorien Stones and the SW Fez I, along with a couple of other items you currently have listed on E-Bay. Unfortunately, you have proven that you cannot be trusted. (As seen in your previous E-Bay incarnations: the_eastern_treasure_chest: and the_game_emporium). With 90 negative feedbacks in one and 101 in another? You are back to the same ways I fear. Incredible. Perhaps we can make some alternate arrangements that will insure that if I bid on your listings, I would actually get what I would be buying, BEFORE loosing my money, Such as COD. There is no insult intended with this note, only truth and caution on my part. I have money waiting to be spent. I have PURCHASED well over 490 individual Auction items during my 3 years on E-Bay and have ONE negative in that time, not 191. I have proven by my own actions that I Always pay and do so fast. Aneoth"Well I wish I knew what your talking about. I've had a few of these hateful emails...for no apparent reason. I dont have any Feedback? Should have a couple Monday afternoon I hope, when the items arrive. If someone did you wrong I understand your caution. First I get jumped on for using Caps...said I was shouting or something. Then I get about 4 or 5 emails kinda like this one! Well I would love to have your bids, and you would not be disappointed. I've already shipped my first two items, and am frankly tickled with the way things look. I hope you dont let too many good items go by you without bidding. When the feedback starts coming in, maybe you'll realize you were off the mark here. Cuss those guys out for me too, I'm frankly tired of hearing about them. Me and my brother spent years collecting.I Use to work for Wargames West too! I'd like to sell off the major part of our collection. I'm sure we will see each other again, and I'm sure you'll change your mind one day.Hope so anyway!View this listing now to bid or purchase this item.

OK, I'm sure there have been stranger coincidences in the past...So which of us is still gonna bid on the Role Aids items, despite all this?(thx for the update, Ian.)I think it's way too risky. PayPal have no confirmed address for seller, and eBay won't even extend their basic buyer protection to this seller. You'd have to be a mug to bid.The seller e-mailed me and said he was new to this buy PayPal offered protection. I e-mailed him back and pointed out that neither PayPal nor eBay offered any protection on his auctions and that he was selling Eastern Treasure Chest stock.I also pointed out that he had cancelled his shill account bids immediately after the post appeared on Acaeum, and suggested that if he was a legitimate business, he could come here and post.This is after all where the money is. Both collector's and dealers.

Aneoth wrote:bclarkie wrote:Interstingly enough, looks like some forum members have decided to take the plunge. eBay listingsAll that I can say, is good luck guys I hope you get your items.Yep, against my own and many other members of this forum's better judgement, I decided to risk a few $$. To be perfectly honest, I really wanted Nanorien Stones and Fez I, but I will not to risk that much.... If I loose a few bucks, then obviously it is my own fault, since it is not like I was not forewarned...... But if I do, then it will only be a few $$ not $50 plus....
bclarkie wrote:.....I have been fighting my irrational "I must have it side" for like the last week to not bid on those items & the now newly listed 1977 Character Record Sheets. It has been pretty frustrating, but I have at this point been able to hold off. The worst part of it is knowing that someone is going to win those auctions for much cheaper than what they are worth, which means if they do end up receiving them, it is going to be for some ridiculously low price. Very Frustrating.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you probaly will just because it is way early on in the new reign of terror, but you never know with that guy. I wouldn't be surprised to see him try to back out for the price you them for though.
