1989FleerBillRipkencollector · August 20, 2008 9:41AM

Hmm.

Buy, dont pay,leave + fb, get 5 cards.

auction

Leiascards · August 20, 2008 9:42AM

It will probaly be gone shortly

mrguby · August 20, 2008 9:43AM

WHAT?

rexvos · August 20, 2008 9:43AM

what kind of person picks the id "pickle_demon"?

storm888 · August 20, 2008 9:46AM

That guy will be on "vacation" soon.

Anybody who accepts his offer will get slapped, too.

//////

NOTE: I never report such listings. I do report listings that are
attempting to STEAL from folks. Sellers simply trying to defend
themselves against EvilBAY get a free pass from me.

OAKESY25 · August 20, 2008 9:51AM

I did it... gitty up

OAKESY25 · August 20, 2008 10:00AM

dizzle · August 20, 2008 10:13AM

Hmm.... I've dealt with them before.. They bought some 1986 fleer cards from me..

Seller recently sold a NNOF for $400 so I guess they're using some of that $ to buy some fb.

Rogermnj · August 20, 2008 12:25PM

it would be great if we all did and then left him negs or 2-3 stars...

Leiascards · August 20, 2008 12:31PM

Thing is if he has a link to this board and suddenly gets hit with a ton of negs he might be able to get them all removed even if they are not from members of the board.

That listing will most likely be gone as it is an Ebay violation it may result in vacations for him and anyone who "buys" from him.

That is a fantastic idea!

I tried to send an offer for $0.01 for all 23 available and got this message:

"This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements

You are unable to place best offer on this item because:
You have bought the maximum-allowed number of this seller's items in the last 10 days.
Note: If you are still interested in placing offer on this item, you may contact the seller and ask that they exempt you from any buyer requirements they have set for this item."

billwaltonsbeard · August 20, 2008 1:36PM

I want to contact him and ask if the five cards I get can be cherry picked out of that 86 Fleer set he has. Of course #57 is most likely not legit.

mtcards · August 21, 2008 2:16AM

I find it amazing that someone with his feedback and the high end items he has for sale would resort to such a ridiculous tactic.

He may be doing it as an advertising tool as he already has 157 hits on the item.

mosaic · August 21, 2008 8:17AM

I can't believe this "item" is still up. I guess eBay doesn't care, so long as he pays their cut of the 99c per sale?

lsutigers1973 · August 21, 2008 9:30AM

I won one of his auctions for $0.01 (Best Offer). Here is the response I got:

"Thank You for participating in my Free card give away. I want to send your free cards out to you right away but you forgot a step. As stated in the auction you must leave "Positive Feedback with 5 stars in all categories" before I can ship the free cards to you. Please take a moment and leave the positive feedback for me so I can ship your free cards. Thanks"

I have had a beer or two and think I will go leave him a neg.

metalmike · August 26, 2008 7:38AM

Cards recieved 1990 Jose Canseco 2007 Topps Chrome refractor Garrett Atkins and 3 1993 Classic 4 sport stars Shaq , Hardaway and Kariya.

lsutigers1973 · August 26, 2008 7:40AM

I left him a neg. Sorry, I am an azz so it was required.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · August 26, 2008 7:56AM

<< I left him a neg. Sorry, I am an azz so it was required. >>

I only see John's neg. on card auctions ?

lsutigers1973 · August 26, 2008 8:05AM

<< I only see John's neg. on card auctions ? >>

That is not John. I personally despise the man due to some nice little made up comments and personal email threats. So naturally I copied his user name but added the 2 on the end.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · August 26, 2008 8:18AM

Oh, ok. I was confused.

WinPitcher · August 26, 2008 8:29AM

The guy is doing this so he can get all 5's on his DSR and then have a high enough
average so he gets the discount?

Is that what this is all about?

billwaltonsbeard · August 26, 2008 8:33AM

<< I left him a neg. Sorry, I am an azz so it was required. >>

I agree that what this ebay seller is doing is wrong, but to bid on this auction, then make up a total lie on his negative feedback?? Is that ok?? Seems about as classy as the seller.

lsutigers1973 · August 26, 2008 8:45AM

<< Seems about as classy as the seller. >>

Thanks. Coming from you, I will take that as a compliment.

billwaltonsbeard · August 26, 2008 9:11AM

To act pissy towards me because I simply questioned the possibility of an 89 UD box from BBCE being searched is pretty low class too.

OAKESY25 · August 26, 2008 10:36AM

I just got mine today.. I could not figure out where the hell they were from.. I forgot all about it...
here are some scans

bigred1 · August 26, 2008 11:21AM

Went to collect mine, now says ended.

Tvac897 · August 26, 2008 1:00PM

Yeah that will be gone soon...

looks like
invalid item removed

Not a registered user

I guess e-bay didn't like his way of doing business,
He gambled and lost

feedback relating to that auction has all disappeared as well

Barfvader · August 26, 2008 11:10PM

Good chance that those that participated could receive some sanctions from eBay as well.

bhl2359 · August 27, 2008 7:53AM

Best card I got was a Jeff Samardzija rookie from 2007 Bowman Sterling.

torc · August 27, 2008 9:18AM

so, the guy loses his listing fees, has to pay end of auction fees
packaging and mailing costs to those that received their cards
his e-bay account is now suspended,

Wow, he sure made out like a bandit on that one,...NOT
what a loser

metalmike · August 27, 2008 11:14AM

What are these sanctions of which you speak? I got a whole 5.13 in Ebay bucks. Not like I care. I Would be more concerned about possble sanctions from CU -hence the lack of recent OT posts.......

Barfvader · August 27, 2008 11:24AM

<< What are these sanctions of which you speak? >>

How about running the risk of having your account suspended for Feedback Manipulation

Feedback left or received, including detailed seller ratings (DSRs), where the feedback’s primary value is to artificially enhance a member’s reputation rather than provide commentary and ratings on genuine transactional experience is not permitted.

Consequently, offering to sell, buy or barter feedback is not permitted. In addition, registering multiple accounts (or working with others) in order to exchange feedback to artificially increase your feedback score is not permitted.

eBay will view the recurrence of listings which are uncharacteristic of a reasonable business model to be in violation.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

Listing cancellation

Limits on account privileges

Account suspension

Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

Loss of PowerSeller status

Feedback removal
