He seems to buy up more or less everything on eBay. The past 6 AOF MVS carts that I've been bidding on he has outbid my by a few pence everytime. What on earth is he doing with all of this stuff? Why would you want 6 of the same game? He has only ever sold one thing and got a neutral. I've been looking through his purchases and he always seems to pay very little for his items, he's always the only bidder. Something's going on and I don't like it. I'm considering paying him a visit to see what his deal is.
There got that off my chest.

Maybe he owns a local game store. Or maybe he is one of those freaks who has an aof box set and he want the matching serial cart so he buys every mvs aof he finds. ;)

Yeah he likes a bid, just not too high, I might ring him 1 day & ask him a load of questions

Boot...

I once warned him he was bidding on a bootleg bomberman mvs...
he mailed back to say he did not care as long as it worked...
He only buys the cheap stuff any way.

If you have a look at the things he bids on it will make you laugh.There could be a game that will potentially go for around £100 but all he will do is put a £5 bid on it and maybe he will push the boat out and got to £15.

He just drops loads of bids on loads of items hoping to get stuff for just a few £££'s,which isnt a bad thing but if you arent prepared to stretch out and go the whole hog if you are after an item then why just piss about with the little bids all the time?

Sometimes I just feel like outbidding him on everything he is bidding on just to piss him off. :glee:

He must be an Operator, that how they work I once sold a MVS boot of puzzle bobble to vektorlogic & told him it was a boot, but he said “as long as it works" it doesn’t matter, it also originally came from another operator, red rose leisure!!!!

Yeah sometimes if you search by bidder for him, it can be 200-300 items he will be bidding on at once!
