I've just spent the better part of the last hour baffled.

This slimeball pm's me a massive lowball of $75 on a $350 sale earlier today. Okay no harm, I try to be diplomatic and figure fine, person is Dec'08-might be a n00b, so I'll take it in stride, explain the nuances, and hope the lesson is learned.

Doing some research (all of 2 posts worth lol) I discover this n00b has a FS thread on a $450 item and says "no lowballs" :rolleyes:. Niiiiice. So is perfectly fine lowballing others but just doesn't want it himself.

Okay, here's where it gets exciting. Then this guy claims his 'friend' told him he got a great deal and only paid 'between $75-$125' Niiiice. I check with this "friend" who subsequently discloses that cellphoneSTAR just randomly pm'd him out of the blue (wonder who else he randomly pm'd from my feedback) phishing for details, and just made up that figure. HEHE. And it's not over, I keep getting emails from this person. Sheesh, I mean take a hint already. I'm not selling you anything even if you paid me DOUBLE.

Guess this cellphoneSTAR is desperate to get a deal and will stoop to any level to trick you into accepting his lowballs and stories. I'm a poor student and this is all I can afford. Yeah well having two lines on Fido and a third en route (as per his HOFO Signature) I'd say you can afford to pay what somethings worth and not scam people.

DO NOT BE CONNED. WATCH OUT!!!!

Frankly, for such behaviour, banning as well as a negative feedback should be permitted.

Sigh....now he claims to know the digits of the number of the guy...which is clearly incorrect LOL. What gives? What's to be gained by letting yourself be busted like this? I'm really intrigued :lol:.

WOW...unbelieveable. This person STILL insists he is right and the other person is wrong.

I offered cellphoneSTAR the opportunity to redeem themself by screen picking all sent messages disclosing the info 'as he claims it was' to corroborate his story...and 30hours later, nadda.

Sigh... Why are some people this WONKy?

Hmm, rare occasion for you to put something up in this forum.

Thanks for the heads up.

^^The pimped out retention plan I have.

^ It is isn't it. In all my years on RFD or HOFO...I've NEVER had someone stoop to this low a level. Only comforting thing to note is that it's a n00b...and not an established and trust-worthy trader gone bad.

I was dealing with a Bold and you could say he was quite ... active getting me to sell my Bold to him, nothing that you would say is harassment but he does try . . . excessively hard... lol

If you banned people for this, there'd be a whole bunch of members banned already... this doesn't belong here...
