How can this
fellow continue scamming, year after year?
To his credit some people have
apparently bought from him with no
issues, but I'd still be wondering if any of the stuff he's flogging
now is part of the loot he stole from fellow hobbyists in his
prime...
I was wondering. Given his insistence on pickup-in-person, it would be
hard to be a total scammer (by which I mean the "take money and give
absolutely nothing in return" sort). So either he's selling for real
or he is (perhaps very) willing to be talked around on the won't-ship
point. (If he's selling for real, the provenance of the things being
sold is another question, one I have no basis for more than speculation
on.)
Of course, for all I know it's also possible he's selling (eg) a G3
case with a fried CPU and a broken disk drive and RAM and claiming it's
a totally working machine, which would be another flavour of scam....
