He has me blocked...
So, I asked why and and he wrote back and stated he does not want my business.

No explanation.

So I just wondered who it was and (hopefully) determine what I had done to tick him off is all.
IMO: Passing up good paying bidders seems a bit drastic unless there is bad blood somehow.

I have NEVER not paid anyone in a timely manner so that aint it.
And as far as I know I have not done anything else that I know of to tick him off here either.
(Although I have ticked off some other members....)
The only thing I can think of is that we bid heavily against each other MANY times in the distant past.
Him winning most of those of course.....
If I have done or said something in the past, then.....
Sorry if ive ticked you off dude.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that he has several people from the Acaeum blocked from bidding on his auctions. He did leave here in quite a huff a few years back and if not mistaken has never had anything positive to say about The Acaeum at his current forum of choice.

He recently sold two items that I have been on the hunt for, The Infernax and Cavaliers & Roundheads, and I didnt even bother to bid. For my own reasons, I won't bid on anything he has to sell.

I've made jests and stuff, but only to be playful and tease, since I lose 99% of any auction the guy gets involved in, which is fine... I'd win more if I had more money. Heh. Not sure I am blocked, but I've not looked either since he last batch went to NKG after "testing" value. Not really sure I like that approach.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Don't take it personally, he is really just a big god damn baby.

Thanks for the information folks.
He was selling an item that I had been searching for, for a while now.
That being DCC 12.5 1E.

I sometimes cruise through the listings on E-Bay and when I see one, I tend to toss a bid at it; knowing I likely wont win it, but who knows.... maybe some day.

So I can add another seller I wont buy from to my list.
There are still enough sellers on E-Bay that I dont care that he has me blocked.

Meh..... whatever trips his trigger. :roll:

Hum... that's odd. I just bought some stuff from him last month, and all went smoothly. Items packed well and in great shape.

I can certainly think of a couple sellers I won't buy from again, but just from that one experience, I can't say this was a bad one by any stretch.

No one said he was a bad seller. In fact from his Ebay feedback and what I have heard from others he seems to be a very good seller. How he packages items and how much he charges has nothing to do with why I won't buy from him.

You are not alone. Once people started to suspect that he was using some of his ebay auctions to set values for selling items on to NKG, rather than seriously intending to sell them to the high bidder, I think quite a few people stopped bidding.

Please read my First post...
I suppose in my last post I SHOULD have stated that he is one more seller that I CANNOT but from.

I tried bidding on one of his items and found I was blocked.
And he wont tell me the reason for doing so.
At least not one that is not obvious.,
He stated he has me blocked because he does not want my business.
Thats not a reason. :roll:

I was NOT trashing him in any way whatsoever........
