Try scrolling down a little and read the text right above the picture.   He is selling copies of the missing mythos for free (Just add the small $10.00 shipping and handling charge.)

Excellent job Frank!



You are fine spokesman for all honest collectors.  

Keep up the good detective work Frank and be sure to post fraudulant and illegal ebay use here for all to see.



[[pats ass]]

Does anyone recall about 3 weeks to 1 month ago a seller appeared that had the same type of auctions and descriptions The_Eastern_Treasure_Chest!! used??? I emailed that person and he kept saying he was not ETC, did not know who he was, etc. However the auctions he ran were the same. Exact same descriptions like SUPER RARE, ULTRA Rare, etc. Also the location were the seller was from was the same.



My thought was, wow what a coincidence, someone in the same town selling the same items and same type of auctions.  It was obvious he was trying to hide himself. A week later, the userid was unregistered. Anyone remember that??

Foster, I have tried to get in contact with Robert but to no avail. I do know after he was unregistered as ETC, he made a new userid called Smurfs_r_us!!. I am sure many of you here noticed that userid since it was using the same description and auction types Robert uses on his auction. That userid was unregistered for some reason I do not know. Then recently another userid popped up (the one I am talking about) and it looked like Roberts auction. I emailed the seller to see if it was him and got the response



"Whose is Eastern Treasure Chest? My name is XXXXXX. These items are my mom's. I am selling them for her"



If that indeed is not ETC, then the seller sure knows how to describe auctions and knows rpgs.

Hey Foster, reselling indeed is Roberts main source of income. I believe perhaps he has changed emails that is why your email is being bounced. I have not been in contact with him for months now. Perhaps he is on ebay selling other things besides rpgs. If you remember, he has sold NFL mugs, Christmas ornaments, SMURFS (hence that name Smurfs_r_us!!), and many other misc things.



He probably is on ebay right now selling other things besides rpgs.

Indeed he does have some good items but what led to his userid being unreg was all those negatives he received about slow shipping, no emailing, etc.

To his credit though, he did finally ship the items.   



I haven't done much shopping for Smurfs... but I'll check for familiar looking YELLOW auctions!



Thanks for the info!



Matt

That is still no excuse for his retalitory feedback practices tho.  I waited about 2 months for an item which eventually did arrive - left a neutral feedback (which was generous IMO from the extended ship time and general uncommunicativeness of his emails) and got a neutral in return when I paid the day I won the damn auction!



A slimey eBayer IMO.

It is pretty crappy to retaliate...  My first negative was a retaliation from someone called Disneymom...   I think she lost her happy thoughts...

When I sell, I post feedback as soon as I receive payment - If a buyer pays promptly, they have upheld their end of the contract and deserve positive feedback - almost all reputable sellers operate this way.

The only Negative I ever got was from someone who bought the Gord the Rogue series from me. After a month of no response and no payment I left him Negative Feedback. The next day I received the payment(via Paypal) but I had allready re-listed them so I refunded his money. He then left me Negative and stated that I never contacted him even though I sent at least 5 emails .  What an ASS! It seems like alot of the people I buy from never leave feedback until I do. Feedback should be left as soon as you meet your end of the bargain. That is why I have never left feedback on the DG from eyeamgawd/Deadlords/etc.
