one thing I've always been able to recognize about his auctions was the red velvety background. This looks like one of vette's pics. Not to mention the seller has a feedback of (1) and selling other "pricey" items.

<< <i>Holy sh-t. This is the same guy who took me for $5,855 here. I am absolutely positive of it because his email address is phillyguy as well, he is out of NJ, and he makes the same requests. What an a--hole this guy is. Man I hope they get this guy. >>
You lost 6 grand???????????????
I just looked a bit further.......
Q: Hi, My father has suffered a heart attack and has passed away. I will need to leave town immediately to attend to this matter. I am very sorry to have to withdraw my bid. Dec-05-07
A: No problem on my end. I am sorry for you loss, and send my best wishes.
Big, you are a big benevolent man here.
<< <i>EVERYONE.... Please do not contact ebay about this. We are going to try to set this guy up. >>
It is extremely rare to have the high degree collects and keep the worth a work ! The opportunity that do not miss the winning it. Is Coin is exactly as pictures and describe you will received or like vette1986 coin? Ship to Ukebakestan pay with cashes check?
oops already sent question - oh well
Love the engrish.
On a serious note, I hope the perp gets nailed.
I can't understand your message. I do not ship internationaly. This is my coin not "vette" or whoever. BTW, I know I am being setup and will report it to ebay!
Does this seller read the boards? What do they mean they know they are being set-up?

Are you kidding me? I just wrote that like 20 minutes ago. This is bizarre.

other auction (scam?)
<< <i>here is where he got the $20 gold (which looks like a scam as well and San Francisco)

Exact same coin as well, same scratch on the neck and same spot on the reverse.

but they relisted the $10 gold right when it sold - did a shill bidder win it or do they feel the sale will not be completed?
I see you are sinin1 from collectors universe. I can't understand why I
am trying to be setup. I am trying to honestly sell coins. I will report
all of you to ebay and the collectors universe if you continue to
harrass me. I am not the same phillyguy as the bigbuffalo guy said, I
never stole 6 grand from him and maybe our names are similar but I am
not that person! Now stop harrasing me or all of you will be reported!
---------------------------------------
How in the World???
hey sinin1 from the collectors universe. I can see you are all trying to sabatoge my auctions. WTF is that about, I never ripped anyone off! If this continues I am going to report you all to ebay, I have the emails and profiles written down. I am trying to honestly sell some of my coins, why the heck are you guys trying to get at me!
here is my response->
The coins you have pictured are pictures from other auctions - so do you have the exact coins pictured or some similar? Your gold piece has a S on the reverse, not mentioned in title/description, I have nothing against honest sellers, but something does not seem right, 1 feedback from a $4 purchase, a coin picture that closed 6 days ago (although that is odd auction as well). I have just been screwed on eBay too many times to watch others get screwed as well. Lucky for you, not many buyers read Coin Universe forums. I am not trying to sabatoge your efforts if legitimate.
and his reply->
oh you are not trying to sabatoge my sales huh, you already did, dirtlegger bought 1 one of my coins! Now is he going to pay for it ??? If not I am reporting you and all the other members to ebay. This is BS ! All i am trying to do is sell my stuff. Its crooks like you that ruin it.
I am contacting collectors universe and giving them a rundown of all that went on and I will post it. You should be ashamed of yourself! If something ever bad happens to you, you can at least say there was a reason for it!
I NEVER screwed anyone in my life. Now dirtlegger is going to screw me. Probably part of your little crew, I bet you all shill bid too!
so who knows? I know I would not try to sell valuable stuff on eBay with no history or picturing abilities.
hey, check my info, I am not this Mike guy, my name is Bob, go ahead, check my credentials. You bought the coin and now have to honer the aggreement!
To which I replied:
Can't wait. Hopefully it looks just like Item #270198740366 which is now listed but didn't sell previously and previously was listed using the exact picture you have. And hopefully the other lot I bid on looks just like item# 130183760373. I seriously want both of these items and can't wait to get them. Ofcourse, you'll understand if I send a friend of mine from NJ to come pick it up? We are willing to pay cash.
I didn't mean for you guys to all get involved with this, so am sorry if it causes any problems. It is worth it to me to get a bad guy off ebay.
Seller understood the questions while claiming otherwise.
And yes--seller is reading this thread.
And yes--the photo does not belong to the seller.
Has anyone else reveived personal emails from the seller?
Yes. When I pointed out that the pictures might be stolen he replied that he
owned them and could prove it.

My suggestion is to advise seller that you want to use an escrow service to complete the transaction.
<< <i>Good news. The guy who took us for nearly 6k here has been arrested. We have been in touch with the NJ Police in his county and he has charges against him from us and other parties. So, another bad guy off the bay. >>
Great news, BigBuffaloGuy! Keep us posted on any developments in this case.

that this thread started over?
<< <i>was it the same guy who was claiming he owned the pictures
that this thread started over? >>
I believe they are, and haven't heard from the person of the stolen pics listing since this guy was arrested. The two instances were so similar that I just have to believe they are somehow related. I will let you know if I find out for sure.
Boy, I bet everyone feels just sooo good about themselves, you should all be ashamed of yourselves, you call yourselves dignified collectors, bunch of bums if you ask me. Luckily my auctions are still going ok. Even made a nice sale!
<< <i>Good news. The guy who took us for nearly 6k here has been arrested. We have been in touch with the NJ Police in his county and he has charges against him from us and other parties. So, another bad guy off the bay. >>
I hope he gets the living snot beat out of him in prison, assuming he ends up there.
LOL
<< <i>I dount it, he is probably still laughin at the schumck who paid him, I think it sucks to be ripped off the 6k but from what I have seen of the members here, it was deserved considering they tried to ruin my auction. I meen, what idiot lost 6k on ebay ??/ You deserve to lose that if you paid him. Hey, is that bidder interested in some florida property I have for sale ???
LOL >>
You attitude is quite childish, as is your spelling and punctuation.
We dount you have any crudability with all the laughin you dooze!
I weely meen it.
You may want to take a few grammar courses before escalating to real estate broker.
Anyone think this could be an alt for Derek2001....the similarities are striking. Remember roadkill in his headlights?

I'm not the bidder.... but PM me the details on that Florida property anyway, as I might be interested.
for this eBay item
odd feedback though->
Seller realized item wasn't as stated and took appropriate actions
