It wouldn't take much to fuck up his ebay account. Use alt accounts to buy his stuff, claim it doesn't work and hammer his feedback and DSR's. Not sure any of us would sink to that level though. Well, I might.

I must have been browsing forums blind as I never knew of any problems with the guy... he was very active on the ArcadeOtaku forum and I always thought he was ok.
As for proxying for YHJ... I have been using Paul at Gamengai for a while now and I cannot fault the service, price and most of all his helpfullness. Paul is a top guy.

After reviewing his current stock and sold stock from ebay I've come to the conclusion he needs to be killed. I've seen his stock on his google site previously and that pissed he off...but I didn't know he's buying EVERYTHING now.

It's hard to avoid STV when buying from YHJ, he auto bids on most interesting stuff in the last minutes, now he needs to make a profit so wont go too high but still its annoying when he is the only other bidder and driving up the price again and again .
I returned the favour a couple of times bidding against him on stuff I knew he would be interested in and cranking it up a couple of notches but it also bit me in the ass once when I won an art set useless to me
I won a DOJ poster 2 weeks ago with added STV tax as usual .

He is a mega fagger. Even without looking at the username, I can always tell his auctions by the pictures alone. It has a "STV" look to it.

I actually know a way to stop this fool or at least put a serious dent in his business, but it would have to have the support of the mods at AO, shmups and neo, to take this drastic measure:
Anyone, caught buying from STV from a date set forth, would be either temporarily banned or forever banned from the given forums. Although, this is pretty severe, to buy from this guy, it's destroying the market, both in the exports as well as internally in Japan as well. Sometimes drastic measures must be taken. This guy is a plague.
I'm sure this would work. What do you all think?

It's totalitarian.. and I don't think it would work because it would require policing..

I agree w/ LV that it is totalitarian and stating for the record, not my style, but @Shadows: although not a total effect, IMO, it would have an effect to some degree which would ultimately result in STV having less business, even if it was minimal. I guess what I'm saying is, I think most of us who are against buying from STV, may still be tempted here and there if a certain pcb can be gotten from STV but no where else. By putting forum laws in place, an embargo of sorts, may sway a few of us who know right and wrong already, to make the right choice, no matter the temptation. It would require policing which seems easy enough, at least with his ebay sales, putting 1+1 together in order to find out who the buyers are in relation to their ebay screen names. I think a lot of collectors still come here though as well the other sites mentioned, if not to participate in the forums, to still check up on possible deals or even worse, to flip finds.
Quick edit:
Another edit: Ironically, I'm totally against such practices. What I just stated sort of reminds me of the NSA...
Quick edit:
we could have moles for this, people talk, some will get turned in, laws will be enforced, I know this sounds fucked up.

Keep spreading the good word, cc!
Was this shot of Steve taken by one of the shops, in order to blacklist him from other shops he routinely checks out scoops for?

I doubt it, Senator McCarthy.
Someone on the shmups forum posted it originally, I believe.

This guy seems to be pretty knowledgeable about buying from Japan...seems to fit:

He aliases soooo much...I'm guessing a mod would have to see if any other names are him as well. He realizes his reputation.
