Quoted from jvegas101

       .I've been somewhat ripped off before, and all I get from them is "try and contact your seller to fix the situation" or" leave him or her unsatisfactory feedback so that future buyers will know to be wary". So unfortunately someone else out there will take my place.

  you could always leave a neg now.  yes i know you might get one in return but if ebay finds them to be a scammer, they will be kicked off and all negs they leave will be removed (have done it myself).  this way to save others before they send cash.  wish we could contact other buyers who won other items from this jerk.  

also by the way....  good call jim...

Thank goodness you posted it Jim..... What an amazing response and wealth of info from all the guys here too.

My offer still stands. If it's PROVEN that this MM was genuine, and you MISSED out on the deal of the century by turning this down? I'll give you my working Zaxxon, or cash equivalent.....my guess is though, even if I spoke mandarin, he wouldn't know where the main transformer "is" to take a picture of it, or as Duane mentioned, no serial number shot? ...heck...not even a "faked" serial number shot.

Also, as soon as you asked him more questions, he tried to expediate the sale....ie...."pay me now....I have ten more guys lined up for my fake machine".

Once again, the perpetrator never popped the hood on the machine, and the photos? absolutely laughable,  in an otherwise very serious criminal offense.

Whatever happened to this deal, Jim? !

Weeee, this time you can win it for even cheaper  

Can't ebay shut this guy down?

In some sense its great that he keeps the same name.  That way we know to steer clear ...

But having the auction active means that there is a possibility that a fish will come along and bite .. and not have maaca or other resource to point out that this is a fake.

   VERY sad that he's still there...put an unpaid strike against me...will be interesting to watch what happens with the new potential buyer...I wish they could all be warned!!

Did you report him to ebay? It's got all the hallmark's of a scam. Surely they can see that and would agree.

Wowsers ! Scammer puts a strike against you. Ebay fraud and Security is there to make sure THEY dont get ripped of on their measly commission. They dont give a rats but about your security.
The market is screaming for an alternative.

Perfect, now he's even got his feedback comments listed as "private"??! ......private feedback comments?!? nice.....thank you Ebay development team, please e-mail me when your line of square wheels and cast iron balloons are set to be released.

Craig

well if he has them private with a 100% rating, he is going to take someone sooner or later.  jim you could leave a neg against him and take one for the team.  also report and report again.  you always get someone new each time you email ebay.  so do it often and you might get someone who gives a fudge(i should take off my swear blocker).  
  by leaving a neg with only the amount of feedback he has.  his rating should drop by a big amount.  enough to make others question why his feedback is private.  private feedback at 100% rating doesn't scare anyone who wants something.  

  i might just bid on his stuff and just leave neg.  yep,  i might just break a ebay rule....  so many others have done it to me.  f-bay

nothing there for me to bid on at the moment.  but his last 2 didn't do that great.  MM did over 2k and the IJ didn't break 200.  he is also more then likly bidding on his own items to bring the price up.  reason to hide bidders ID.  i know there is real reason to do this as well.
