    Mine now, $3.50

    I almost feel sorry for the guy. I actually do believe he didnt do the deeds, but he is definitley learning a lesson about allowing someone else access to your ebay account
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY
  • I'm in for 4.25 and 30 bids, that poor guy. image
  • The Carroll College Fighting Saints are the only football team to win four straight NAIA championships in a row from 2002-2005. It is a small catholic college in Helena MT. My wife graduated from there and this guy is giving the college a bad name. I will be bidding up $.06, I should lay off this guy, but I can't help myself!
  • Poor guy.

    This is going to be interesting at how many bids it ends at.

    I won't be bidding but I'm watching this.

  • 36 bids and it is at 6.51 LOL

    << <i>guy definately isnt playing with a full deck >>



    There seems to be a lot of that going around. It seems like the lynch mob we have going here has decided that this seller is unfit for ebay. Have you never had an email account hacked into? If not, you're lucky. I haven't either, but many have. My father used the internet service at a hotel with his laptop and got his ebay information stolen. The next day, he incurred over $36,000 in fees from some jag fraudulantly selling merchandise with his account...using a phone number to make the actual sales. It happens, folks.

    Looking at this guy's feedback, I for one can give him the benefit of the doubt. Harassing this poor guy to the point where he's had to list the item 3 times now is ridiculous. So what if he asks that people bid with class. I couldn't agree more! When I'm selling a $200-$300 item, I often wonder why people bid $1. It's a waste of everyone's time. If you just want to track the item, use the "watch this item" feature.

    Your lynch mob routine was played out when George broke up the band. Get over it, guys. Grow up and move on. Sometimes I wonder why I come around here with threads like these that aren't about collecting, and instead its about how much more of a d*ck we can all be than someone else.

    A little more was said than just " Bid with Class "

    You really have to read between the lines though .

    But it started to get out of hand when he started saying stuff about how much more of a man he is than the next guy , basically he feels he's just more classy than the next guy , more of a man than the next guy and the people on the board just felt like putting him in his place and then he took it to the next level by making threats on board members women, daughters , girlfriends , then it really took off .

    I'm definitely not going to defend this guy in any way shape or form , if you feel the need to defend him , well that's on you and good luck .

    Why don't you just post your ebay id so i can block you and remember not to bid on your auctions as well. Hey smart guy ever think that watching just 100 auctions is not enough when you are searching out 1000's of cards? Ever think that bidding in increments is how an auction works? Ever think that we just might be better off without you? I have. To complain that someone bids on your auction no matter what amount they bid is THE dumbest thing I have ever heard.

    I read the auction, and I read the thread. I'm not out here trying to defend the guy at all. If he actually said those things, then he's an idiot. If he's telling the truth and someone hacked his account, then I think a few people here may have overreacted. The fact of the matter is by harassing this guy (rightfully or not) people are interrupting an ebay auction. He's selling a legitimate product that has been graded well by a 3rd party. All the other stuff is just garbage.

    Wow. Overreaction 101.

    Mr. Ebay Policeman, please don't give me a ticket for making sense!
  • mtcardsmtcards Posts: 3,340 ✭✭✭
    I dont think his account was hacked. According to him, "His brother did it". Well, in my opinion, he should be sending out emails apologizing to the people "his brother" sent emails to. Besides, bidding on an item is not harassing, if anything, he is getting added exposure. I agree we shouldnt be making 2 million dollar bids at this point. I will be glad to bid $21.77 for the 200th bid and if I get it, I will pay him.

    I agree. Bidding is not harassing at all. Emailing the guy and taunting him is harassing. I see plenty of that earlier in the thread. I see someone who said he is sniping the auction and can only hope that if he wins, he'll pay as well.
  • gumbyfan, you may be right, but this guy is a liar and a jerk... his brother did it, sheeesh. image


    If a kid says something rude or insulting to me, I always assume that his gang is just around the corner and I watch my mouth.


    This guy gets a free schoolin curtiousy of the fine gentleman at CU. image


    "Mob Rules".
  • I agree with you Gumbyfan. Some have gone overboard here. What is going to be funny is when these who are harrassing him wake up and find Ebay has suspended all their accounts for auction interference and harrassment of another member. For those who think they are hiding from Ebay there is a little thing called an IP address they can link all your accounts to you and suspend them all for these actions.

    While I think he is crazy for saying bid with class and his actions seem outrageous. I have noticed though all we have seen are emails from him. Hmmmm.

    i believe his story about his brother, its not even in the same typing or train of thought as all the other psycho emails his bro sent, if this guys bro was selling all the time, hed be kicked off by now or have alot of negatives, this guy has 100%,i believe it, his bro is a nut though,sounds like he is going to get him from the reponse that don got yesterday,lol-22 years old know wonder- i got socks older than that

    randy >>





    Maybe it's true, but I'm really starting to like that card. image
  • Now I'm feeling a little guilty. I should let him off the hook.
    I removed my snipe.......has he suffered enough?
  • Brother or no brother I was bidder #60 with a $25 bid but still havn't hit the reserve. I don't know why people spend their free time nitpicking with sellers in the first place. You got the rise you wanted out of him but no pat on back given. I have to admit the whole "bid with class" was a bit silly and potentially distanced the seller from potential buyers but see no reason why it warrented a message or e-mail except to get that rise. A waste of his and your time.

    As far as making a minimal bid on a card you think is going to go far higher, I do that so I can watch more items or have a lowball place holder while I ponder how much to bid/snipe later. I have actually won a few cards on the cheap with the low bid when forgetting to set the higher snipe bid. One thing that bugs me most on eBay is when I'm watching a card I want but forget to bid end with no bids or low bids and knowing I could have potentially had it had I simply threw down even a cheap placeholder bid. An auction has to start somewhere.

    its gonna go high anyway, as long his brother dont come back -he screwed up the 1st 2 auction for his brother with his mouth, his bro must have got back in time, its not the same person that sent youguys the other emails, or he would have 100 negatives by now, and not be on ebay,
    randy
  • rube- you can get kicked off if you bid on an item with no intention of paying(auction interfernce) for it OR if you bid on an item with another ID AFTER being placed on their block bidder list. The part I was talking about was the emailing the seller and picking a fight. That is called harrassment and usually will get you suspended from Ebay should he report it.
  • rube26105rube26105 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭
    more like he was harassing everyone else -all they did was send the real brother all the emails his nutty brother or his "college friends"sent,more likely he'd get himself kicked off ebay because of his stupid brother,i think the rape your wife and daughter one would do that pretty quick--from the email don t. got of the real bro appologizing for his idiot brother,sounded like he was going to have a nice chat with him about all of it from all the emials they sent him that his brother sent out

    bet hes got his password changed now lol

    Unless someone didn't post an email, the only people talking about rape were the people on this board. The guy never said anything about it. If you actually read what he said, he was making a point that the wives and daughters would want to. Am I missing something here?



    << <i>"Listen, if I ever find out who you guys are or where you live i'll force you to watch while i take all your wives and daughters to the mat in front of you. You'll be forced to look at them screaming out in cries of passion while a better man gives them the extasy a narrow-shoulderd half man like you never could. Funny thing is your wife will follow me home afterward coz she never had it like that and wont even be able to look at your scrawny physique again without puking." >>



    The only person he's "forcing" is you. Read what the guy said and tell me where he's threatening rape. He simply isn't.



  • << <i>The only person he's "forcing" is you. Read what the guy said and tell me where he's threatening rape. He simply isn't. >>



    Still a very dirty and obscene thing to say. "Taken to the mat" can be interpreted in many ways. He (or his brother) deserves all he gets from that one statement alone IMHO

    I agree, taken to the mat is slang for rape. It means to pin one down as in wrestling.

    I also think he deserves all this.
  • That all started because someone here emailed HIM, his brother came back with some trash talk and it went on from there. I still see nobody has posted the emails they sent him all they have done is paraphrased. Those who are keeping this going need to grow up. It was a"threat" made on the internet. You know 150% that it is not real.

    Yes his emails could get him suspended as well, but we still do not know what was in the first emails that started this. I thought there were ADULTS on this board not a bunch of 12yo internet bullies.

  • << <i>He should end the auction and start over. >>



    What would be the point of that?
  • I think it is a joke because this is his third try at listing this card.
  • what would this card usually be expected to sell for?

  • I just got this message through eBay from "donstoner." Wow, he's a stoner!!!

    Hello, this is donstoner. You bid on my Sandberg in BGS 9.5. Ive had some people working on this thing for me. Please read my new message. If all involved let it go, were cool. If not, its going to be ugly. Laws have been broken. I dont care if you were serious about bidding, thats O.K. If this is still a coordinated effort by all in the thread, time to surrender. Thanks Don Stone

    I have a strong suspicion that donstoner wrote the initial messages in his auction in an inebriated state and is now playing "big boy."

    i dont think any laws were broken by anyone on this thread.. but i dunno, im not gonna go back and read it all.. this guy is a moron and obviously the harshest words came from his on email and ebay account, so screw him, "time to surrender"?? lol..

  • Laws... broken... by... us?

    I placed a low bid.... if I won, I would have paid. I never emailed him. Never asked him to go on a date with my girlfriend. No laws broken there.

    Unless he means the part where he went into a tizzy and threatened to go mandingo on our womenfolk.

    I find it interesting that he calls out people by their CU screen name, not their ebay ID. Apparently he has been tipped off about the thread dedicated to him.

    Also, I dont claim to be a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I doubt the California law would hold any teeth outside that state, it would require a federal law or a state law from the state which the threat came from to be considered punishable. For example, it is a felony to play poker online in Washington state, however, a person from another state could not be punished for playing online poker under this law if they played outside of Washington.

    Finally, not to do a John Kerry on anyone, but judging by the edited listing and its claims, I have a hard time believing the "brother" story now. I find it hard to believe that two people that close in grammar skill and spelling, as well as the ability to create so much ill from idiot ebay listings could come from the same gene pool at random.
