Heh, 'invalid item'... Wink

Looks like it's been removed...wonder WHY? Roll Eyes

Heheheh! Grin

***EDIT***

Yup, the link now works...but it's THAT eBay seller again...I think he's either someone who was VERY lucky and owns a LOT of V5 6000's... Roll Eyes

...or he's just a fraud! Tongue

Have I seen this card listed before?

*sigh*. Yes, you might have. I am very tired of deadbeat buyers. So please be so kind as to
BID ONLY IF SERIOUS,
thank you.


I think that explains the relisting. I'm amazed at how this guy's been so unlucky, kinda makes you wonder if maybe it isn't all the buyer's fault.

Obviously, the selling of this V5 6k has not been going to plan for this seller.  I doubt he has had more than one.  I am guessing he's had the same one but failed to sell it on seperate attempts.  Even if someone has left him positive feedback,who is to know the deal when pair-shaped afterwards.  Undecided

I don't understand why this guy doesn't list the item to pre-approved buyers only.  Yesterday, in my country, a EuroTunnel Boring Drill Machine went for £39,999.
In the first few days, it got a lot of publicity on webpages and newspapers because it was such an absurd item to sell on ebay.  Silly people obviously saw this as a practical joke. Within minutes the price went to £750k. An hour later, it rose to £1M !! 10 minutes later, and it was at £2.5M.
Half an hour later and the price was £10M !!!  Shocked Shocked Shocked

BBC Website wrote a report and within a couple of hours, ebay started to filter all the bogus buyers out and put a pre-approved cap on the item, dropping the price back down to £10k.
I tracked the item right up until it's sale yesterday which it went for a pound under £40k.

Item's that have had trouble in the past really need to be available only to pre-approved customers, who contact the seller first to explain their genuine reason to buy.

This would help the buyer AND the seller, if he really has a V5 6k, of course. Roll Eyes

i put a high bid of 300.00 and it was at around 120.00, within a few hours i got the message i was no longer high bidder, then a little longer i got the message i was again the high bidder because bidder dropped out, whenever that happens i lose my feel for the bid, makes me wonder if its not the seller trying to raise the bid up, not saying thats the case but i dont care for it Undecided

The seller is a bit on the slippery side IMHO- I contacted him in private weeks ago to see if he had another (since it looked like he sold more then one) and he stated he would get back to me.

2 weeks later this card is posted on ebay and he is now playing dumb via e-mail.

Then I would say don't trust this seller!  Angry

I've never been in contact with the guy, but something sparks worries and concern.

The amount of times I have seen that same card up for sale, by the same seller makes me VERY wary of him indeed.
