Are you sure that's the correct auction number?

qtisco

is the listing number the same as the auction number? if not, then i dont know the auction number.

i'm never going to find the baseball am i :-(

EBAY can easily walk you back about 2+ years; not much further.
Email them (T&S) and ask them how to look at everything you ever
bought; follow their instructions.

THAT won't help you here.

The point is 2+ years is all they will show you. They likely have it
all.

////////////////

Look at the FB of the seller - left/rcd - between on or about 9-20-03 and 10-10-03.

Copy the names of all buyers listed. Look at their current buying/selling. Contact
the ones with listings, who appear to be into sports collectibles. Tell them your
story.

Nam is likely correct.

Probably easier to buy a nice new one. You can then always keep an eye out
for your old one in future listings.

You could also contact bigtiger123 direct, if you can find him. He might have
some old records. (You can use toolhaus.org to find some userID name changes.)

Old numbers had fewer digits.

Your best bet right now would probably be to check out bigtiger123's feedback, and see if you can match your Auction ID number with feedback either left or given.

qtisco

thank you, appreciate it, i guess it will be easier just to talk to the seller, though i dont want to bother him and make him look at old emails and through his files, especially 5 years plus, which im doubtful he'll have.

FACK!

That item number isn't found in his feedback anywhere...left for and received by...

and this isn't even working

As an aside:

Some time ago, I offered toolhaus a $1K donation if they could grab
a sale that went down in late 2004. They could not, and neither could/would EBAY.

I needed it for a court case. EBAY got me close to the time, but missed it by a few months.

I think many of the shorter digits are now purged from toolhaus.

A blind try would be to hit google and some other search engines
with the number. You never know; they claim they "keep everything."

qtisco

didnt work :-(
