I have been going after bwo rolls of jefferys that have no known FS coins...well during the week
I had some bids on a 60-d and 68-d rolls from a great seller ive delt with before...well this clown:
came outta the blue
and won them as Id gone to bed...well no harm no foul, but the seller has more rolls he realeased, so
I bid on them and did multiple bids as I dont want to stay up till midnight and I would like a chance to go
thru at least a few rolls, well this clown has sent me no less than 17 emails today saying Im in colusion with
the seller, Im running a scam, etc. I refuse to answer his emails so he ran the totals up some, but no where near past
my bid, so I decided to look at this guys feedback, and he seems to make his own terms in certain circumstances.
I know this maybe no big deal, but this cook is short of a dozen...do your self a favor, I know I dont want him near my auctions

You should just use a snipe program! That way you can let him think he's getting the deal and then pounce! Just like I to when Russ is bidding on an auction!!!
Snipe Box
If you are concerned about giving your password out, create a new eBay buying account for sniping. I have used vrane for years without any problems.
I have no idea how they work???

I use the following and never had any problems.
They also have a 'group' bid where you can set up multiple auctions to bid on at various bid amounts and choose to stop bidding after any number of wins.

Some think it is pricey (I don't) but you only pay if you win.
If you recommend anyone you will receive 1000 credits. (hint--hint

It's worked very well for me. You can only do one snipe at a time though for free. If you want to do more, sign up and buy some credits.
Used it tonight.
Advantages:
Free
Bid on as many auctions as you want
Runs on their servers, so your computer doesn't have to be on
Has always gotten the bid in at the exact time (number of seconds before auction closed) for me
Disadvantages:
Can't cancel your bid if closer than 10min before auction close
You have to enter your ebay password for it to bid for you (all remote sniping programs require this)
Good luck sniping.
The reality is that sometimes it is worth it to take a calculated risk.
If you want to use sniping programs, you have to take this risk.
That being said, there are sniping programs that run on your computer, so they keep your info on your computer only.
I worry more about using my credit card online. What is the worst someone can do with your ebay id? Run some phony auctions or bid on stuff? If you use your account with any regularity you would discover any fraudulent activity pretty quickly.
If he gets out of control, just go to any of the auctions he is bidding on, and if there is something there you would like to have, snipe him!
Bid List
P.S. I would never block a guy that gets into bidding wars from bidding on my auctions. It's more money for me.

cosmicdebris points out your seller. I've bought rolls from him as well, but they were never OBW. I could easily tell by the way the paper was crinkled at one end that he had used a tool that re-wraps the roll to almost fool the buyer. Never found anything even close to extra-ordinary.
PM me and I'll put you on to one on my sources that sells rolls
I guarantee haven't been searched. No guarantees on finding any 66/67 FSers, but at least you'll know they are really unsearched. I just can't afford to buy them all!

David you post an interesting thought there. Ive tryed real hard to determine OBW rolls before, and I wouldve thought with a tight roll like that it would be a lock. I have seen the tool you speak of on ebay, But never knew it would work that good.

We have fought long and hard in the beginning when he was winning 70% of the time, then I won 75% the time when he slowed down.
Surprisingly, while he is an extremely agressive bidder, and I cringe when I see him bidding, I still rate him as one of the "good guys."
He must also cringe when he sees me bidding as he knows I will not let him get a roll at a cheap price.
I am surprised he emailed you the way he did. He must really think you are involved with the seller. The emailing activity you speak of is not like him as I have never heard him do that before. I have heard that others have accused him of being involved with other sellers which is absolutely untrue.
Do email him back and tell him that oreville21 (of ebay chatted with you about him) and surprise, surprise you might beomce friends!!
If you need my help, just let me know.
Geez, those 1960-D nick obw rolls. I remember winning them at $5 a roll!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
Straight arrows don't send 17 emails to an underbidder.
