Mark The Homer Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Guys like this piss me off. He went to some amount of trouble to show you a photo using seatdata.com, even including a huge map of the stadium highlighting the section, but he went out of this way to mislead the buyer by showing a photo from Section 123, NOT 224. He did this intentionally for the purpose of deceiving the buyer. The seats are actually located about 30 rows BEHIND the camera, and about 40 seats to the LEFT of the camera. They are nowhere near the 30 yard line - they're actually aligned between the 5 and 10. And he can't spell. And feedback of 98.2% sucks. Here's one that one of his customers left for him: "FALSE ADVERTISING-Description of seat location misleading." The seller is a scumbag. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6637611410&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D6637611410%26fvi%3D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 What is it with these people? His seats are not bad for upper level, so why does he have to lie? Why does he claim the seats are on the 30, when they're actually aligned with the 10? If he wants to sell seats in 452, why does he show you a picture from 453? The fact that he is asking $250 less than face, and the fact that he's from Texas makes me suspicious of the whole auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6637868259&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D6637868259%26fvi%3D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 I ran across this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190001536741&ru=http://search.ebay.com:80/190001536741_W0QQfromZR40QQfviZ1 Zero feedback. The seller's in TX according to eBay. Offering lower level at half price? I asked him whether he had the tickets in hand. Here's his reply: Hi, Yes, the tickets i have them in hands, i`ll sell them because i`m in Miami and i`ll not come back soon home. Please e-mail me back at carlos11mail@yahoo.com if you are interested. Thank you. Since we all know the tickets have not been printed yet, we know this auction is a scam.

But don't worry, these are "EXCELLENT lower level seats at a great price." Really? In all these seats, the obstruction is "minamal." Really? He knows this because he has personally sat in all these seats. Really? And why does he operate under at least three different seller accounts? This guy is full of Cowboy dung. Make that at least five different seller accounts.

Mark The Homer Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Seller states: "Picture below is Section 221" Nope. The picture in the listing was taken from Section 121. His tickets, deep within the bowels of 220, are "Limited View" at best, which he failed to mention in his listing. http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130002197783&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, not even one has a clear view of the field. Yet, he has sat in all these seats. And he can assure you "minimal" obstruction. One of his feedbacks: the seller is not honest at all, describes one thing and sends you another Here's another: Terrible Seller! Dont try to do business with him.

Mark The Homer Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 There's a lot of shady sellers on eBay. That's one thing. But it's the outright blatant lies that get to me, as well as the hijacked accounts that appear legit, even to seasoned eBayers. And I sit there and watch, and I see innocent people getting taken for hundreds, even thousands of dollars (see the first auction in this thread). I agree it's none of my business, but it's hard for me to just stand by and watch the thieves at work. So if the thread bothers some people, please ignore it. Interestingly, I found the following auction this morning. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110005081885&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D110005081885%26fvi%3D1 This seller is the same seller that is trying to sell all the other bad seats. Here's the new list of his seller accounts: Ticketsexpress1 Besttix4you Tixxexpress Gametix21 gametickets4u goodiestickets redccc arintercom They are all the same seller. The interesting thing is, in this new auction, for the first time, the seller does NOT say he has "personally sat in these seats, and the obstruction is minamal (sic)". The timing of this edited listing seems to coincide with Sammy's comment. Coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsDave Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The interesting part is those pics done by SeatData are taken before there even were obstructed view seats. I can tell because Section 109 still has the large opening for the Skins' tunnel that now has seats on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbrown Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Great job on this thread. I'm a seasoned eBayer and I might have a difficult time recognizing these scams. I ask plenty of questions, but that does not mean I would get the truth. Much of the adds are already lies. Thanks and Great job.

Btw, the guy telling his fellow skin fan to 'shut up' has been banned here previously and simply re-registered under a different username. If he'd been able to make his point in a nice way, he'd still be here now. But then, if he'd been able to exercise self-control the first time around....
