    First of all - he is scamming people by selling them "Complete Strategy Guides" that are actually things he prints off of gamefaqs. Then he leaves negatives for anyone who leaves him one, calling them an "a$$hole". But the best part is the answer to the question he gets - you have to read it.

    I saw one of these yesterday that sold for $24.50(I think was the ending price). Someone is going to be really pi$$ed.

    I say we all report his ass to eBay.

    I'd really like it if I could specify why this auction is illegal. The answer he gave to that question is good enough to have his account suspended!

    I sent him a question via ebay - essentially suggesting that he might want to make friends with spellcheck and that the North had been victorious in the Civil war

    The response I got back was "lick my balls,yankee.."

    My Gosh, look at how much he has made through this! Incredible. No one is to blame but the dumb buyer. Especially when it says "I typed it up myself." Come on.

    Not all Southerners are stupid, but this guy isn't helping our case... sigh.

    Have fun nailing his ass to the wall.

    Well he clearly states that his guides are self-written.

    But his answers are cool

    A negative states that he "does what he is told"... weird much?

    And I thought it was wrong for me to ask 5 cents a page to replace the ink used printing these things out... this guy is charging way too much for a printout.

    That is great! A few years back some a$$ was selling what he said was an original book of colecovision history. I asked in advance is it a copy? Seller said no... It was. I left a negative and got one back. What an A$$!!

    Surely people could realise by the quality of the text on his auctions that a "self written" guide is going to be complete crap.
