Wasn't there a large problem with someone trying to sell 10 ir3's on Ebay (thought I remember reading that WDP had no record of anyone w/ those on order..) And I just noticed this...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2717027790&category=16048

I mean.. if its real.. he's the man.. if not.. well.. he should burn in hades.

(but doesn't the pictures look like the one someone was trying to sell a few weeks ago..?)

Maybe I'm just crazy.. /shrug

and he registered in canada, but it said ny, ny. private auction too. ask him if he will do escrow. probably not. it smells bad.

Shouldn't be too hard to track down that gun and see who it really belongs to.

smells like poo to me......

at $1100 each that is $11,000. who has that kind of money just laying around? if he is a businessman, he could sell them on a website.

also $1100 for the extreme, freak, maxflo, and halo????

that is about $1700 worth of stuff. he would loose money on every sale. I knwo that is the start price, but you get the idea.

Well I have the high bid right now. We'll see :)

yeah, that is the same exact one from the previous auction...

different seller, both had 0 feedback. It's probably that same jerk who's in spain and insists on western union money orders.

I'd say stay away.

The thing about spain is interesting. few weeks back, I got a fake email from ebay saying that I need to update my account. They set it up to look like ebay page, except it had ip address for http. Well, that scam originated from spain as well. I gave them some information(used white house address,etc) So this guy may have bunch of stolen credit number he is using to set it up. probably not using his own.


If you can find the other ebay sales on different account using same pic/description, you can report it to ebay as suspicious. They will probably pull him.

Call AGD? I think there's a thread with hot numbers somewhere here.............
BTAutoMag

well the problem is that he may not even have the merchandise...

Probably "stole" the pic from somewhere...........
FalconGuy016
03-12-2003, 03:37 PM
Yes that would be the point of trying to get the # :) :)

You know what else I realized? He stole those pics from another auction because of the clear IPIX symbol, and hosted them somewhere else then linked them in

I tried that on one of the previous auctions... his response was that he wasn't going to give it so that I couldn't use it in another auction

Those are old pics that have been used MANY times. Also the write up has been used MANY times.

pfft, you think he really has 10 of them, with Maxflos and all? Yeah right :rolleyes:

Just thought you guys would like to know I got this guys account suspended.

Please post ANY such auctions on AO for review. I made an ebay account to win any auctions this guy puts up.
