Looks like somebody is in a closed space with too much 5 minute epoxy and CA glue. Please, somebody take away his keyboard!

Guys, look at them again in a few days. He seems to be editing them after they are up. He may have put up a lot of auctions and then edited them after the fact.

Or he may be crazy. Either way, I wish him luck!

I've bought a few things off him in the past and he does tend to put up placeholder auctions until he has the item in stock.  He then throws the models up and modifies the auction accordingly.  Sometimes he overprices things by a lot!  Others he just forgets to change the price.

Most of the prices are "Buy Now or Best Offer." Maybe someone should make a realistic offer on something.  :p

I also wonder if hes waiting for someone to accidentally click "buy it now"  :p

Placeholder auctions make more sense though it does make me wonder why you need placeholders in the first place?

In the early days of eBay they did not have things like 'Sell Simular Item" and but if you kept going back to sell item the settings you put in last would pop up again. Thus if you wanted to sell a lot of the same kind of items it was faster to post ten "auctions" all the same and then edit them.

This is no longer true. With some of the features but at one time it did make sense.

He tends to buy stuff off Ebay a lot and then group it together so he can sell it on.  Presuming he does that so he can post all of it on the one day? Even if you buy it now he tends to wait.

Oh this is the guy that had the CI for ?80 or best offer by the way....

He also bought three hellbores so that's why he's got them up for ?40 each.

I think I've come across this guy's auctions before.  Even if Enderel thinks he's on the level, I'd say he's the most optimistic or utterly clueless rip-off merchant ebay has seen. :D
