Ebay ID: Bullpen416
 

Anybody familiar with this Ebay ID?

Net54-er by chance?

Yes familiar with him, not a forum member that I have ever seen.

I've noticed He buys a lot of stuff on eBay.

Has a significant collection of vintage tabletop baseball games, but we've no idea who he is. Wish he'd stop in at our own forum...

"Ask seller a question" and invite him in :D

Looks like he bought your refurb trophy flip, so I'm assuming that's what this is about? He appears to buy a lot on ebay, and not all nickel and dime stuff. I don't know him, but judging by how his account is still active, it doesn't look like he's stiffing anyone.

He's not stiffing anyone. I've been dealing with him for years. He's a good guy.

He sure buys a lot. Well too bad he's not a member.

Also dealt with him for many years......very good guy. More in the past (1990's/early 2000's) than now............

Maybe this is just a personal thing with me, but I really wish that when folks ask "is so-and-so from eBay on Net54" or "does anybody know so-and-so from eBay" that there would be some indication given as to why they're seeking them out. Is it for testimonials from others who have dealt with them? Is it to ask them about something they're selling? Is it that you suspect they're up to no good but want to take it up with them personally before calling them out? Or are you just looking for intellectual conversation with someone who buys/sells the same stuff you're interested in?

Like I said, maybe it's just me, but I tend to assume the worst when I hear these anonymous calls for information, and would rather not do so if it's for something harmless.

No, I just wanted to see if he was a member and if so, ask him about his collection. Maybe post some pix. I thinking he has some extremely nice items or maybe he's a reseller. Just was curious if anyone knew.

Anyone who drops several grand weekly, consistently on Ebay, is interesting to me.

Fair enough. Thank you for the follow-up. Though I'm curious why you didn't just ask him directly if you have his contact info from the trophy sale?

I did, no reply.

I ask most ebay deals if they are Net54-ers. Leon gives me $20 bucks for every new recruit.


Although...oddly I have yet to see dollar 1.

"They told me it was a million dollar wound but I ain't seen a nickle of that money."

I can't win against this guy, he's a bidding "BEAST!" His collection must be insane. Anyhow he's brought me, a lot of frustration.. LoL

Its all good.. bigger bank accounts win :)

"If it bleeds, we can kill it"

His has 1273 feedbacks in a 12 month span. He does not sell, not on this account anyway.

So that's 1273 purchases/auction wins, probably a lil' more as not everyone leaves feedback. He's won 119 auctions in the past month.

More than likely if you lost an auction, check to see if it was to (7186), he's beaten you too.

Dr Richard Kimble: "You find this man!"

Must be nice to be rich, even though looks like he over spends on some items.

I thought anymore you can't see who is beating you or lost to you. I can figure a lot of guys by their feedback number but everything is now hidden, is it not? :confused:

There's ways around things. I can still look and see what people have bought that I follow.

A decade ago a guy came onto the Ebay scene and was purchasing EVERYTHING Nolan Ryan...could not beat this guy....I finally contacted him and found out he was a judge...he was buying Ryan items for his sick father...

I have a list of users I collected over the years. I check in here and there to see what I missed or what's trending in the hobby.

I also use to look at popular sellers feedback and grab user names from that. That is now blocked more recently.

Albert

right....I used to check "by bidder" in advanced search. You can't do that anymore (that I know of). I really miss being able to see what my buddies/competitors have won. Is there still a way to search completed items by bidder??

It's still there. You just have to go to Advanced Search, click on By Seller, and THEN click on By Bidder (it will appear in the list at the left after you click on By Seller). They didn't take the functionality away, but just hid it a little better.

Well he struck again and out bid me. But I'm actually happy because the item was overpriced anyway, so saved me my money.

well, whaddaya know! Thanks.....now I can spy again on my friends and foes :p
