I wonder if this is one of the guys who burned me? After getting burned on
a number of trades of old boards and misc stuff, I pretty much stopped
trading entirely and for years was inactive here and instead bought/sold
small classiccmp type stuff on eBay. I've seen some of the stuff I sent
one guy listed repeatedly on eBay at insane prices by a seller with 1000s
of overpriced "vintage" PC parts (386/486 generation stuff listed for
insane amounts, etc).

How can this fellow continue scamming, year after

Well, as he gets banned from one forum/list after another, he just moves
on to the next; looks like he's found a home here at last...
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...
