Not so much no life (well maybe).....as it is their life.

Jonstats is an example. Everything you see him listing over the years is stuff he finds on Ebay.

I know a number of occasions I've inquired about a new listing and the seller will told me they just sold it, and I sometimes ask if it was JonStats and they'll say Yep.

So I know he is on there pretty much 24/7.

If you list memorabilia on ebay, you can expect an offer from him within minutes. Sometimes less. It became a running joke with myself. The first offer I received, was without fail, always him.

I have no love for the guy, he banned me from his auctions 15 years ago for telling him I thought his shipping fee was too high for an item I had won. But it does seem he's developed a niche that's good for him and for sellers, if not for collectors, and that's just capitalism at work.

I've blocked JonStats as well.

It was years ago he either freaked out on me because I wouldn't end an auction or wouldn't ship something out fast enough. But I couldn't take his bitching.

He tried with a 2nd account as well as it was from his same Texas city. Knew it was him. Same M.O. Blocked that account too.

Both are currently on my blocked bidders list on Ebay.

Guy was a total dickhead to me for so little reason. Was a flat item, probably a photo, that I knew he'd be paying two or three bucks to mail, and I think he charged seven or eight when a lot of sellers were including the S&H in the total. My message with payment was just something like, "your shipping fee seems high for this," and he answered, "Well now you won't ever have to worry about it again!" What a jerk.

I've never had a problem with him (though he does over charge for shipping) but I've heard many stories like this....but also know several people who think he's the best thing since sliced bread.

I'm guessing they never complained about the shipping! He could have just said something like, "didn't you see it in the listing?" and that would have been the end of it, but chose instead to get off by wielding his enormous power to ban me from his auctions. Just think of all the time I spend lamenting my audacity and trying to figure out how I could get back into his good graces.
