No this isn't the same copy as the one that was damaged. I buy, sell, and trade hundreds of books, games, and comics every month; mostly thru a local store. If Gigimgm wants this copy for what he would have won the other for, that's fine with me.

The ones who flame out the loudest ALWAYS come back(See your good buddy Radovarl and his 6 or so user names as proof on this forum alone), I have seen it at least a hundred times now on internet forums. It took you all of 19 days after the previous flame out to come back, so we'll just set the over/under number at 20 days and work from there.Until next time.

bclarkie wrote:ashmire is pretty close. Our new friend in this thread "Dmitiri" is just a new posting ID here for Pipswich, the guy who flamed out twice on here. After he flamed out the second time, I predicted(apparently quite correctly) that he'd be back, either under the same ID or a new posting ID, of which it now appaears he chose the "new ID" route.On Ebay, he normally uses the ID of Gigimgm, however it appears this is a second ID that he used to make the purchase. The seller in his response to you must have known about the Gigimgm Ebay ID, because he mentioned it to you in his response which allowed me to realize what was going on.Make sense now?

My eBay account is the only one I have (you may check my feedback here if you want), and me being a lurker here for some time is also true, though I understand how it could seem suspicious. I use this same user name on other RPG forums as well: ENWorld (although I don't post over there much), Against the Shadow (a Midnight forum), and The Fraternity of Shadows - a Ravenloft forum (which currently is having some technical issues, so my account is unavailable for now).The reason I came here to ask for your opinion, for which I'm grateful, is because I've seen that you have uncovered more than one fraudulent sellers in the past (I've been a lurker even before registering), and thought that if my gut feeling about this episode was correct, someone among you might confirm it, or maybe heard about a similar issue with this seller in the past.I hope this sheds some light on the issue. Feel free to ask me what you feel necessary to confirm my authenticity. Btw, thanks to napoleonsdad, Deadlord39 and mbassoc2003 for their insight and the info. I currently don't need the book, as I bought a copy that was being sold on Amazon and the seller tells me it was shipped last week, so it should arrive in a matter of days.
serleran wrote:Because I feel particularly Pacino today, it could also be that the seller has pulled this scam off before, and has been asked about the resell more than once, assuming it is the same item being resold, which is probable, but not necessarily true. Maybe the seller uses a stock photo (perhaps self-made) which explains why it would appear to be a resale -- me, I don't really care one way or the other, and would likely avoid the seller if this had happened to me.So, thanks for pointing the guy out -- I'll be careful to only purchase things I don't really want.

Pipswich wrote:Funny reading. I just read back a page or two. Someone here just loves to jump to conclusions with speculative evidence. I did thing BClarkie successfully demonstrated that gigimgm=Pipswich long ago. I will confirm that for anyone confused.

Pipswich wrote:BC has his opinions and I am certain I can't change them for him. It is pretty entertaining to realize that I managed to get under his skin so much that he sometimes tracks the days since my last post and then out of the blue jumped right back to false assumptions about me.
Pipswich wrote:And, to restate... my concern for ebay is partially selfish. If ebay thrives, I can continue buying what I want fairly easily.
Pipswich wrote:And, my concern for sellers is also selfish and in the context of sellers who start auctions for 99c and then lose money on shipping. I don't want them to stop selling $25 items on ebay for a buck with free shipping... I want to feed them enough postage money so they will keep selling items for a buck hoping for more... and ship them to me for a buck and postage when they are wrong.
