Yes, he reappears again and again, always selling the same records. I wonder if the winners ever receive anything.

123dirk789 ... what a piece of shit this seller is??

5+ years ago I bought Vio-lence Torture Tactics CD off him, with picture taken from musik-sammler and supposedly in excellent condition, it arrived with huge punch hole in booklet, he replied with a bunch of barely readable replies and in the end I said OK, let it be ...

I barely buy anything on ebay nowadays, but just recently I picked this Aftermath CD:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aftermath-Dont ... 3338274710

Of course what I got was a recent bootleg. I left a negative feedback describing he sells bootlegs as originals, but the comment has been removed by ebay :S

The thread is 90% about this idiot... even had some years ago the audacity of making a Target bootleg ("Mustered by ..." in the matrix :lol: )

To change the topic slightly - anyone had any interactions with 32dp448? He is a Russian seller but his stuff looks pretty legit. Wondering because he recently sold some stuff I wanted :)

I remember buying from him a TON of stuff back in the early ebay days (talking about 1999-2003 in my case), paying with cash hidden in letters (!), never a problem... something bad happened after that ? Started ripping off people ?

His feedback rating usually hovered around 97-98% but he had well over 2000 negatives by the end and almost as many neutrals....some was about missing orders but they were mostly about him selling counterfeit & bootleg Cd's,,,this was from when I first used ebay around late 2004 until 2007-8 IIRC..

Does anyone know this seller hipsters_avenue he sold this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/124995643961

And honestly lately there has been so much shill bidding on ebay that I suspect it could be shill bids. I know for a fact the second user is tigertailz (used to be melodicmetalhead but had a really bad rap so changed his username) infamous for never paying but bids high and cant pay but who knows if he is in buddies with the seller and they are trying to inflate price!

Another recent user to be careful with is anok4u from England, he is using shill bidders for his auctions. Here are some links:

This item sold to his shill bidder with 3 feedbacks

https://www.ebay.com/itm/353882362386?_ ... true&rt=nc

Then magically the item was posted and sold again to a poor soul!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/353913725867?h ... 7675.l2557

It seems these sellers are making a buck off ebay and ebay has no idea! Just watch out with him.
