    Default Nice deal on sealed SNES titles (Update: SCAM!)

    Missed this one by a few hours...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-Earthb...QQcmdZViewItem

    On second thought, after reviewing the link in preview, I saw that he also has a sealed Mega Man X, X2 & X3 for $75.00 BIN, but only takes cash, and his camera is broken, so no pix....sounds like a scam.

    Super small , almost un readable text says "if u win this u will get 1 dollar and no games"


    That has got to be against ebay policy ?

    You'd have to be a total fool to think somebody was actually selling that stuff for $50.
    Wanted and willing to fairly pay for:
    Final Fantasy III Hat/Cap (Official Squaresoft)
    Philips CDI 740
    NTSC Proto of Daze Before Christmas (SNES)

    Another one of his auctions is for a box of expensive golf balls, with fine print that says "Acually there is only one ball. Brand and condition vary."

    And on a Mario RPG auction, it says " If u win you will receive a various golf ball. Not the games."

    People like this are truly the scum of society.

    I sent a notification to ebay. I hope others will do the same. Here is what I wrote:

    After much white space the seller listst this line of text:Acually there is only one ball. Brand and condition vary. It is in white text on a white background, and so small that you cannot see it. All this sellers recent auctions have had a similar disclaimer on the bottom. This ebayer is clearly running a scam and not selling what is in the auction title. Scum like this needs to be kicked off eBay, but that is just my opinion!

    Here is the link where to send these notification to ebay:

    http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_us/_base/index.html

    I suggest that whoever reads this thread uses this link to copy and paste the above information to ebay to get this scumbag kicked off of eBay!

    ... BTW... like the bidder user nym?

    Somebody should bid 5 grand on that golf BALL (singular) he's selling (His last auction left). How much WOULD the seller fees be on $5,000?

    "tomcool567" is clearly a shill account he created. Look at the feedback.

    eBay sure takes their time, don't they?

    I wonder how old this person is? I think they are a little kid with way too much time on there hands. Here are the two emails that they sent me when I told them that I was going to report them:

    It's ok, you did the right thing tatletaling on me. This is going to ruin your life. We're going to be good friends.
    Respond to this question in My Messages.


    You don't have too be like that. Thanks alot fo reporting me. Why couldn't you just mind your own buisness. How is the aution wrong? It's called buyer beware.

    I don't think that this is a veryy smart person. Threatening someone through email is bad enough. But threating someone through eBay's mail/question forms is just plain stupid. I am really scared, I wonder how they are going to "ruin my life"?

    Acually there is only one ball. Brand and condition vary


    The very fact of all that white space should make alarm bells sound.. plus silly price ( if its too good to be true it usually is )

    Bet it takes eBay forever to ban this scumbag...

    Of Course the white space sounds off with me. However the fact that the seller thinks that this falls under "buyer beware" is just insane. I hope no one is dumb enough to bid on these auctions and actually pay for them.
