    My guess is that it is an alt that has already been nuked. I know because I tried twice to sign up as "Consuela" . image

    BTW - why did you bother trying the second time? image

    He probably hasn't been approved to post yet; it might take a moderator a few days to get around to it.

    << <i>This buyer paid on Sunday and never heard any communication from Greg acknowleging anything. By Wednesday morning he probably was wondering "What's UP" >>



    Actually, he wondering more along the lines of "WTF is up?"

    After the last email, I'm kinda thinking that he is trying to get his money back out of Greg's PayPal account and possibly without returning the coin but saying that he did. This is a big problem with PayPal in that they always seem to shoot first without asking questions!

    I have no qualms about blocking this bidder as he appears to have hit the end of his rope and has gone completely nutzoid over this one transaction!

    Mike, this is a little over the top.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I just listed my first auction on Ebay last night; I tried to block Robohog2000 but informed
    this was an invalid name.

    He was Naru'd already from Ebay ?

    'Bout time.

    I think someone did that as an alt, not necessarily coinguy. Probably not the real robohog2000.

    Robohog2000 is alive and well. Simply click on Greg's initial email and then click on Robohog. All of his info still comes up. If he had bee bounced it would say "no longer a registered user"

    Blocked. I still can't understand why some sellers post positive feedback simply because the bidder paid for an auction. Had that happened in this case, then there would have been one less negative showing on the bidder's feedback rating (and he obviously deserved a negative). Sorry you had to go through this, Greg. There's always a few nuts out there, and I've certainly happened upon them from time to time on eBay. Nothing close to this bad, though.

    Bump, since this guy is also sending threatening messages to other forum member sellers. If you get one, immediately forward it to eBay.

    << <i>He just won another ebay auction >>




    So on Wednesday the seller should get an email that goes something like this:

    WHAT THE HE11 TOOK YOU SO LONG TO SHIP???? I PURCHASED THIS COIN 72 HOURS AGO AND IT JUST SHOWS UP ON MY DOORSTEP WITH NO HEADS UP???? WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THAT???

    Exquisite????! You call this PCGS MS69DCAM COIN GRADED BY THE MOST RESPECTED GRADING SERVICE IN THE WORLD, EXQUISITE!!! WHAT KIND OF BLIND !@#$%^ ARE YOU!!! I have seen exquisite coins before and let me tell you something you @#$%^#$%^&amp;*(#$%^& this coin is far from exquisite. In fact, I noticed a little inperfection in the slab, you probably pulled the graded coin out and placed this inferior coin in you #$%^& liar! IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS RIGHT YOU #$%^ IT'S GOING TO COST YOU. MY TIME IS WORTH ALOT! IF YOU THINK SITTING AROUND THINKING UP ALL THESE COLORFUL CURSE WORDS IS SOMETHING I DO FOR FUN...WELL YOU"RE RIGHT. BUT T IS STILL GOING TO COST YOU. YOU CAN BUY THIS COIN BACK FROM ME FOR $325!!!
    Best Regards,

    Rob
