macattaq = booboo221?

A while ago there was a thread about the tampered orr card from macattaq. in the thread someone said this person's buying name is booboo221. look at auction number 8762185575. did this person shill his auction and win it?

if you look at booboo221 recent feedback there is one for a 1966 bvg 7.5 opc Mantle. if you look at macattaq selling history he sold the same card just after booboo221 purchased it.

booboo221 has bid on a few of macattaq's card but only won the above auction - at least recently.

I am not good at posting links.....

    Might be the one you are describing...

    Yeah. macattaq = booboo221. I'm the one that had to deal with this guy with the tampered Orr rookie. He'll deal with you fine, so long as he's making out.

    In this case, it looks like he definitely shilled the auction so he wouldn't have to let the card go for such a low price. Not surprised at all given how he tried to screw me.
  • I was the under bidder - really high bidder - and should have had a deal on that mantle psa/dna.

    Yep. Here's my old post regarding the Orr rookie for those who don't know about this guy. He buys high-end stuff as booboo221 and resells as macattaq. I'm sure eBay would love to hear about this.

    how many boo-boo's can there be that annoy people?

    check this out. this card is perpetually on e-bay. it has been on there for several months. the auction expires and wallah-up there again within minutes. not only is this card severely off center but he is asking well over psa 8 price on it + 20% buyers premium. the capper for this member of the boo-boo clan is that he also has a scan of the back that is from a completely different card (1958 yankees power hitter).

    not booboo221 but:

    a different boo-boo's auction.

    anyone think that this is a co-incidence?

    Good grief. Most sellers are at least smart enough to set up dummy accounts with little f/b if they're going to shill their own auctions...certainly not an account they use to stock 90% of their inventory. He's currently using the bid id kid7567...who also bid on that 51 Bowman Mantle psa 8 that macattaq just sold.

    Here's a quick example, with a little help from smartcollector.com:

    bought

    sold

    He also bought that T206 mathewson SGC 20 under that account...I'm too tired to look up any more.

    Doesn't matter though - as long as he pays his fees he won't get more than a slap on the wrist from thiefbay. And only then because he made it so obvious. I'm surprised ebay doesn't launch a shilling training seminar for its powersellers just to avoid situations like this.



  • someone must have seen something as both have been NARU'd
  • SDavidSDavid Posts: 1,584 ✭✭
    Actually all three id's are now NARU. That was pretty quick, but don't worry - they'll be back. Ebay rarely bans someone permanently, especially someone who's generating a lot of revenue. Did somebody here report him/them?

    Who is Rober Maris?
  • I emailed him after the auction ended. here is his response and my question below. new policy? didn't that 12 hour rule take effect a year ago? plus he's bid on a couple of his other recent auctions...



    Sorry I had the card sold off ebay and I tried to end the auction but ebay put in a new policy that you need to end 12 hours in advance. I did not know that and I had to buy the card back. If I can offer you free shipping and insurance or something to make it up to you please let me know. Thanks ,Jon

    John -

    I have purchased from you in the past and just bid on the Mantle 69' psa/dna card you had on tonight. I see booboo221 was the winner. Isn't this your buying account? based on what booboo221 has purchased and what macattaq has sold they look like both of your accounts. care to explain?





  • Brian48Brian48 Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭
    Why don't you email him back and ask if he's got an Orr rookie for sale image

    Looks like Mcattyq made a boo boo.
