Hey Adam, Deadlord is right, he doesn't need a "buddy" to shill bid. He does it all on his own.

BTW, I'm not [email protected]. Obviously I use Verizon, not America Offline. My account is eyeamgawd. Oh, and is that a feedback of 120, no negs? Hmmmmmmm.

Hi All,



I hadn't intended to get into this little bunfight.



However, it was the Ebay seller [email protected] that sold me the Dwarven Glory that didn't arrive. This person was Frank Farris.



I still have the emails to prove it, should anyone be interested.



Cheers,

Malcolm

He bid on Franks R series.

Surely given all that is coming to light here Frankie wouldn't let his R series go for less than $400.



These are pretty serious numbers.



The auctions above linked by PD were won by another member of the forums...

Unfortunately Frankie is right.



I have reported his anus 4 times now to ebay. Not only does it not get him kicked off, they dont even respond to my complaint.



sigh

Adam, I did notice that a member of this forum won the 3 auctions that I mentioned but I did not want to rub salt in any wounds of the person that end up with them. Since he was not the one that "topped" the shill-bid, I figured I would leave it be...but I probably should not have because it would truly drive home what you and I have been saying (and you most aptly with your statement about vaseline, collectors, and their posteriors).



This kind of conduct does not impact nameless and faceless individuals. It hurts every collector/enthusiast of D&D collectibles (or non-D&D for that matter) that uses ebay as a resource. If you cannot trust the source as to whether or not you will be fleeced, flimflammed, or hoodwinked, who is going to bother.



I am sure that Frank has been very happy with himself and the additional profits he has made. However, I for one will never bid on any of his items ever again. Practically nothing on ebay is unique...to the point where I should not even bother using the word practically. I would rather spend my money on an item being sold by an honest seller than some dirtbag that thinks that only he is entitled to the good deals. The same deals that he laments as no longer being available on ebay due to fair and honest collectors like Burnie.

Thanks guys, I will never bid on anything he sells either. Honesty and integrity are a big concern when dealing with sellers. I never buy from someone who I have had negative dealings with in the past. BTW he never left feedback for me on the DG even when I paid seconds after the auction ended. I think he does this to discorage NEGATIVE feedback when people are not satisfied(that way if someone leaves him Negative he can do the same in return even when he is in the wrong). Happy collecting to the true honest collectors!

Heh! I still can't get over that one. Everyone must have been asleep or something.
