[Archive] Finds on eBay and Strategies for defeating Extortionist Pricing

wallacer:

Of course they can just buy under a different id.

Canix

Although setting up different user IDs is kind of a hassle (although perhaps in their case one worth putting up with).
There is also the fact that their main account won't get feedback if they buy through an alias (again that may or may not bother them).

Bottom line is, there really isn't much we can do to affect high prices without breaking the law.

It could be since his/her ebay profile is private. I guess we will never know. unless someone closely watches to see what biklinictoo buys and what SWSNBN sells.

(ewww my brother just put on brokeback mountain. Rooms spinning....from....from all the gayness....)

I dont think SWSNBN is the same biklinictoo. Her game is bid low on its that she hopes nobody sees. The other’s MO is to just bid on anything in sight.

Pyro you might want to go fight someone or drink lots of beer, punch someone, belch and fart, etc… to counteract the Brokeback vibe going on there…

Pyro Stick:

You can bid with your mobile etc and you can get websites that you can program to snipe things you want. I knew that was your gf’s user so i wasnt sure if i should post the link or not.

biklinictoo is a guy from lincs who runs warhammer-crazy . swnsnbm runs theessexgirl’s shop they are two different people . canix i thought you said your last buy from me completed your collection, the way you talk about stuff it sounds like you are planning on a bit of trading too, if thats the case i cant continue to sell you cheap models if your just going to sell them on at a profit its not fair!

PyroStick · 13 October 2007 01:28

Pyro Stick:

The seller Insanitybyte is also opening a shop and hes buying up every marauder and 3rd edition dwarf there is. If anyone knows him tell him to stop wrecking my life.
