Wow! I was looking for some clothing for my dh and found an auction where the person is listing a huge amount of items in the same auction. Everything from jeans to golf clubs, a Nintendo, Playstation, gold necklace, baseball cards...it's just too extensive to list! All in a clothing category! The BIN price is over $1000. Maybe someone needs money? The items are one huge block of text, you can't even read it all without getting a headache!

Were there pictures? Was the seller a newbie?

I won't read auction descriptions that are one huge paragraph... ugh..

Actually he has two auctions and looks like he doesn't know how to do a paragraph break.

Is it against AW rules to tell us the auction # or title?

Wow, well that was pretty easy to find. Don't really know what to make of those auctions... just scrolling down the page hurts my eyes!

Just do a description search for "golf clubs nintendo" (without the quotes) for all active auctions....

Yep it's against the rules, but I think I can give it to you if you email me. Right? There were pics and I think they were more overwhelming than the text. I even spotted a copy of Ebay for Dummies in there.

I am wondering why the very same items are on both auctions. One auction starts at a penny less than the other.

He says to trust him.

eagerbeader: - when you do the search, check the box that says to "search in item descriptions"...

Oh, nevermind, I found it by searching descriptions. Does the word "stolen" come to anyone else's mind. AND why a discount for Money Order or Certified Check??? Is that because you can't stop payment or Cancel??????

He has 56 feedbacks, 2 negs and one of his negs says he's got a filthy mouth and let's kids bid on ebay...

Looks like the same pics on both auctions too...

My wife would kill me if I bought all that stuff. Got enough stuff already. Plenty of inventory and no motivation to list. Gotta get a spark again.

Hello berkeley or ExecutiveGirl,

Since it appears fairly easy to find this seller, please send a courtesy email telling them of this thread.

Thanks!

His one of a kind items are obviously two of a kind, as they are up for bid in both auctions. Doesn't make much sense.

Maybe they didn't want to go through the hassle of listing all of that stuff individually (or paying the listing fee's?) I dont know. I would never list an auction that big. Lots of movies, DVD's, jeans, books, etc is one thing but something like that. Phew.

This is the second or third times he's listed. Without a bid! One of them is private -

Follow the first neg to that auction and the bid history - then look at a few others...looks like he has a bad case of shilling going on.....

The other pos fb'ers never caught it.....

Locked until someone "asks the seller a question" to notify them of this thread with a cc to [email protected]

Thanks for your cooperation,
