Guess my request for advice belongs under here.

I bid on an auction that I didn't win. Then an ebayer with the ID mikefred sends me a message through ebay that he also has the same item in excelleant condition that he would be willing to sell me for my top bid plus 3 bucks S&H.

Sounds like a deal I would be willing to take, but I was a touch concerned that this was unsolicited and was wondering why he wouldn't just list the item. Then if something did go wrong I don't even have a feedback path to address the issue.

What do you guys think? Take the deal or is it too risky?

Have him make you a Second Chance Offer through ebay, then you have all of the usual protections and feedback options.

Mikefred has been going wild on ebay in the last few weeks. I am not sure who he is, but he is bidding on just about everything and every big lot. (Hmm, I guess I am too . . . oh well . . .

)

Anyway, his feedback is great - I wouldn't be surprised if he has many doubles & triples the way he is going.

Three bucks shipping? The item you wanted? Offer to pay via PayPal and take your chances. Unless it was really expensive I would guess you won't be sorry.

Received the R1 Prepub today from Frank (ExTSR).

Fantastic shape, not a blemish. Shipping was quick & great. Almost didn't want to open the shrink it was sent in.

Absolutely fantastic seller - get the feeling I was happy with it yet?

Oh by the way if there's still any of the 'shrink-ophiles' out there: new to EBay "shrink: done by the legendary Frank Mentzer" for sale (only kidding) :lol:

Thanks Frank.

Has anybody had any experience with [email protected]?

He approached me with a private sale and I like to know if anybody has dealt with him offline before

The name sounds very familiar, but I don't remember any specific transactions. I am usually a bit leery of AOL addresses.

Based on his email, he sounds like the guy I mentioned about 4 posts previous on this thread. Ebay username mikefred.

Yeah, thats Mikefred from ebay.

He seems to be an up front honest guy.

I'm working a deal with him now for some of his collection and I'm expecting it to turn out well.

I'll let folks know if anything comes up less than wonderful.

He's not a member of Acaeum, although he knows about it now. It was a contact from ebay.

Wanted to mention that I just picked up some really nice JG items from Shane (Plaag) in a recent private sale. Really great guy and as you might expect his Judges Guild stuff is top notch.

Thanks again Shane!

I'll second that. Shane sold me a bunch of Dungeoneers and other pubs a while ago, and it all went very smoothly. Plus, he's in Wisconsin.
