Running through the high points of this dumbass' "career" gives newer members a "heads up" when dealing with this combo of liar, thief and con man. Now, I agree with you, that anyone who has been on these boards for any length of time that bids on his stuff needs to drink a big bottle of Caveat Emptor.

Now, I agree with you, that anyone who has been on these boards for any length of time that bids on his stuff needs to drink a big bottle of Caveat Emptor.Well, I do bid occasionally on his stuff when he doesn't have a BIN and the lowball bid is there. I figure one of two things will happen: 1. I'll actually get the stuff, and cheap.2. I just contributed a bit of cash to the "negative feedback fund". Too bad there's no tax receipt, but it's a good cause all the same.Either one I'm fine with.

If they guy had walked into 2-3 Acaeum members houses and taken money off their dresser, we would be calling the police on the guy. But because he steals through ebay everyone just kind of shrugs their shoulders and chalks it up to experience. It reminds me of the penalties for vehicular homicide until just a few years ago. I could be cleaning my gun while drunk and accidentally kill someone, and I'd get about 2-3 years in prison. But if I got drunk and ran over a kid in my car, I'd get a suspended sentence and 10 years probation. Thankfully that has changed. Hopefully someday we'll view internet criminals the same way and not give them free pass after free pass when they steal seemingly without penalties. Mike B.

We don't all necessarily agree on the finer points, but we're probably more united than ever.

Who has bought this before???OK, so I'm probably being naive, but this is just wrong. With the evidence of previous auctions on this unique item, they must act!!??Don't tell me I'm living in cloud cuckoo land..... I already know
