I had a deal with him last week ("deal" meaning I had already written
him a check and was waiting for him to email me his mailing address),
then he asked me if I could give him more $$$ because he was getting
other offers.
I am REALLY pissed off at this asshole.
Honestly, the two of you should bid the auction up to zillions of dollars
and then not pay. Try to string the guy along as much as you can. Tell
him that you already sent the money and that he should be getting it any
day now.
If you don't want to get your own accounts in trouble, just get a hotmail
email account and then set up a different eBay account with fake
information.
If you bid it up high enough, no one else will be able to bid. Repeat as
needed.
