Who is your Ebay rival?

Some of you may not be aware of this, but I'm a Dale Murphy collector. On the other hand, some of you already knew that. Just wanted to say that. Not really sure why, but there, I said it. Being a DM collector, I find myself bidding on many Ebay auctions of his. For about three years now, there has been a very disturbing trend. I lose and lose often. I really don't even sniff winning. I'm like the Washington Generals of Ebay. The main cause of this frustration is two seperate culprits, Gungho1 and Timepage. Anyone else out there have an Ebay nemisis also? If so, were naming names.

Someone I won't name, because he posts here,
ends up costing me an extra 500 bucks or so on many cards.
That's okay, there's someone I bid against that I end up costing him hundreds of bucks
or more on most auctions that he wins that I bid on even though I know he will win anyway.
All part of the game, and all part of the fun.

<< <i>mintmoondog seems to bid on a lot of the same things that I do!! >>
Yeah, me too. I checked out his latest buys and discovered that he buys pretty much everything in a PSA slab.
Sorry if anyone here is him. MYF has got a bigger bankroll than I and seems to LOVE O-Pee-Chee. It sometimes miffs me.
Or Regional Canadian Baseball Issues?

There's only a few consistent OPC bidders and he's gotten me one too many times.
He's a board member, but I can't remember who.

bledsoenut was one of them. Can't think of the other.
I only remember bledsoenut because he recently bid on a Bledsoe I listed.
<< <i>Mine would be shoeheart mostly for errors/proofs. On the flipside, I am a nemesis for josefina1747. I bid on purpose to cost him extra money but only on stuff I wouldn't mind buying if I win. Long story..........google josefina1747 for details. >>
Wow I looked at some of the josefina auctions. Thief may be an understatement.

<< <i>lmayer. But no hard feelings, I just bought from him.

Yes, I have realized that when I see his name I better drop out of bidding!!
I know a good portion of the heavy Clementes bidders and while I lose my share I am glad when they win and not some stranger.
Who is this clown?
I don't understand bigred_cards bidding practice but that's another story...

Not sure, but he is bidding on something that I want. Does he have some wierd bidding practices??
Everyone says they get special treatment, but I have placed some aggressive snipes on early 70's rack packs the past few months and they win them all.
So - opening vintage packs = good grading results for them I guess.

I think this is the guy that sends angry, scathing e-mails to other bidders that used a snipe service to win an auction he was bidding on. He tries to blast them for sniping and tells them that it's a stupid strategy to snipe. The irony of his e-mails seems to escape his grasp.

LMAO, I'm going to snipe stuff he bids on just out of spite.
<< <i>mrwally3, mcguiremuseum, onionring9 >>
that group sounds familiar, just replace onionring9 with samspop!!
If I wait for my snipe, I win more than not, for a lot less.
I think people see that familiar feedback score and get competitive.
Maybe it's all in my head though.
