The Official "MESSIN' WITH STUPID EBAY SELLERS" Thread

frankhardy

I thought I would start an official thread where we could tell our stories about how we can "mess with" stupid Ebay sellers. You know, kind of like the Jack Link's Beef Jerky commercial's "Messin' With Saskwatch".

Here is what I just did. I have a saved search for "Topps Signed Cardinals" and I ran across this OBVIOUS FAKE signed Pujols card. So, here is the message I send him -

*****

Dear sportsfreakjp,

Hi,

Just wondering what you used to sign this card? Did you use a sharpie or a plain black marker. I have some Pujols cards. Would you mind signing them for me? Thanks.

*****

After that, I promptly blocked him from bidding on any of my auctions to keep him from retaliating.

What are some of your "messin' with stupid Ebay sellers" stories?

itzagoner

Shane ... the problem with that is he can open another eBay account quite easily and retaliate all he wants. I, like you, HATE when I see obvious forgeries ... it really sucks that so many people get ripped off!

frankhardy

I've got another story. It involves an Ebay seller named "itzagoner"....

one way to mess with someone just pick one of their auctions that will end above 15 to 20 dollars starting at 99 cents at bid like 10 times on the same item from the get go.
Bid
1.- 99 cents
2.- 1.11
3.- 1.21
4.- 1.50
5.- 1.60
6.- 1.70
7.- 1.80
8.- 1.90
9.- 2.00
10.- 2.31

this always ticks me off when a newbie or even an oldie does it to one of my auctions. like wow the auction has 10 bids and still at 99 cents LOL.

That is fantastic. I actually LOL'd on that one. Good one.

another thought is if the guy has a lot of auctions say 50 to 200 all starting at 99 cents with no bids pick about 40 to 100 or all of them and bid the minimum 99 cents, definitely looks like he has a shill bidder and you might actually win 1 or 2 items unless they are all raw 1988 topps then you might win all of them (ouch backfire shot myself in the foot).

Pick an auction you didn't win and email the guy like 4 or 5 times with in a 10 minute period, saying: "Hello, STILL Haven't Received my ITEM that I paid for were is it and what is the tracking # tired of waiting you have had plenty of time to send it, I am going to NEG you and file a claim, I want an answer within the next 2 hours or you will force me to do something you won't like! tired of your crap.
The KEY here is the auction has ended and you are not the winner so when the seller receives your email it Will Not show the item or the item number you are referring to, this will drive him nuts as he looks back over the last 1 to 6 weeks of auctions trying to figure out what item it is that you won? figuring he is going to get a negative in the next 2 hours.

Then after he emails you back about 3 to 5 times asking for the item or item number begging for forgiveness.
email him back with a "Emily Litella (Gilda Radner SNL)" response "oh that's different Nevermind" Nevermind

i wanna bid on diamondman's prescription.

frankhardy

I laughed again. The key is, though, it has to be a STUPID seller.

diamondman

<< <i>i wanna bid on diamondman's prescription. >>



prescription up for bids: buzzbay item # buzzinwithwillie*6*6*6* or bud-bay description neversmokewithwillieagain.

edited to say sorry auction had to pulled 1. (reason: no certificate of authenticity) 2. (mysteriously caught on fire) 3. (accidentally fell into brownie batch) 4. (the dog ate). 5. (Willie called and reported it smoked or stolen not sure he was slurring his words).

Back on subject sort of. I remember messing with a stupid guy-wannabe dealer at a January 1996 card show who had this Beckett magazine signed by Mickey Mantle. Wow nice autograph I have 2 boys at home so I would need 2 of these. Wannabe says : I just happen to have 2 of these. Me: Wow do you have a picture of mickey signing these at his grave or was it at the funeral home where he raised up from the coffin and signed these. I knew the promoter of the show real well and I talked to him and he immediately threw the guy out of the show. Oct-1995 beckett Mantle died 08-13-1995. the guy threatened and cussed at me the whole time he was packing up his stuff leaving the show. stupid stupid

Oct 95 beckett

This....... Thread....... RULES ! Genious.

Messin' with Sasquatch. Mesin with ebay sellers. Pure.. Genious. This thread should live forever.

First rule of messing with stupid eBay sellers club is create an account that is different than your sellers account to mess with said stupid people.

You piss off the wrong stupid person you can kiss your seller's account goodbye.

If they are really stupid you can hide behind a proxy server creating dummy eBay accounts and bid like a million $$$$ on every auction they have. A lot of stupid sellers are not smart enough to setup the settings to block certain bidders or new bidders from doing this.

As soon as I sent him the message, I immediately proceeded to block him as a bidder.

zep33

doesn't mean his friend's account can't screw with you.

That's what always makes me think twice about messing with people from my own account
