I have left the guy 1 feedback, if i left him 7 feedbacks his score would stay the same. I was up all night working, just got up and this whole thread has appeared making judgements because i have not replied. how can i reply if i have not seen it?

As for me having 3 vases, i had 2 for sale which is why i said i had 2. hOw the fuck do you know what i do and dont have in my collection.

yes this ebayer has won 8 auctions, i can give you the ids of at least 5 others who have won more from me, and when you said he only bids on my auctions, that is a complete lie. there is a percentage you can find of total bids they have made being on my auctions and its about half total.

but while we are on here accusing, how would you like it if i went to your place of work and told everyone you were a nonce?

I have offered to email you the paypal payment confirmation email to prove this transaction was genuine, but you just decided to slate me instead. very interesting that you backed down when the first poster stuck up for me and then as soonas you got one person on your side it was like a red rag to a bull. you are nothing but a bully, make up lies, come on here and then when people start to believe you, go in for the jugular.

and to finsbury park bagger HE DID NOT SEND ME A PM FIRST he posted 2 messages on here first, he gave me no chance to sort this out privatly. ask silky, he has the times of when things were posted. he did not send a PM until after the other poster has stuck up for me (4th message on the thread)

Also, for anyone on here that does not believe me, PM me and i will provide you all with evidence that this customer is genuine. None of you are my customers, and i dont have to provide you with anything, but reputations are hard to build and easy to destroy andi worked hard for mine and dont want someone hiding behind a computer ruining mine. anyway, i have to do my post. will answer any messages after 7pm.

And affart, you are the liar, you said you wanted to bid on my item, i offered you a vase for £600 (£150 lower than cost) and you dont want it, so you never actually bid or wanted to bid on my item at all, so your initial post was lies and more lies (misinterpritation at best) and making out that you know which vases i have!! that is hillarious!! Do you declare all your art on a forum where people can get your address?

Anyway affart, you said you would 'run a trace' or something to prove if you are right or not and have not mentioned it since, did you do it and find out you were wrong and wont admit it? I dont blame you having concerns affart, but there are ways to go about things and you did not try to sort this out privatly with me, you just tried to publicly humiliate me. No matter what your motives, that is bang out of order. I think you know that is true. I also think you know its true that you feel more heartened by people backing you (very akin to a bully) where was your heart last night when the only poster was saying you were wrong, you backed down. You didnt stand by your convictions. when i have a debate on here and everyone is againsed me, i dont back down because i make sure i am aware of the facts beforehand, you were not, you did it on a whim. thats a fact

If that were the case the total feedbacks would be 8 positives which is a lot better than 1.

The only thing I see as weird is

Bidder No 5

30-Day Summary
Total bids: 223
Items bid on: 68
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 99%


But what do I or anyone else know? we'll never know.

My post intended to do three things...

1) Encourage people to come forward with shill bidding concerns.
2) Remind everyone to speak to the member direct first in the future.
3) Request no judgement on you until you could speak.

You on the other hand have just slurred my name by calling me a bagger, which i'm not.

Cheers mate.

Apologies accepted.

As for me having 3 vases, i had 2 for sale which is why i said i had 2. hOw the f**k do you know what i do and dont have in my collection

YOU said you had 2 vases, you don seem to hide anything else so why lie then?

You dont reply to messages.

Who said i didnt want it?

You dont reply to my messages so how can i order it!
And again you admitted you had 2 Vases and were only selling one, as both have been listed thats LIE 1, you also say you have another vase, which 1?

how is that a lie? are people not allowed to change their mind? also lets not forget that you tampered with my auction, you were the highest bidder at £650, you then cancelled your bid claiming that you had entered the wrong amount and then never entered another amount. YOu are quoting an auction from 6 weeks or so ago and saying i am a liar because i didnt declare that i had 3 vases and that i said i would only sell 1. you are not fucking customs or the inland revenue, i dont have to tell you what i have in my private collection. As for the 99% over 30 days, why not be truthful and get the figures for the last 90 days of this bidders bidding activity? I will tell you why, because it doesnt support your argument.

The man is a jeweller, he buys diamonds from me, we got into a conversation about investments and i told him to consider buying some art with his money, sent him a few links and advised him to buy baldwin, banksy,micallef, neate and to check out the POW website for starters. I know for a fact that he has bid on some of their stuff on ebay cos he sent me the item numbers and asked if they were legit.

And as for your PM saying i should be grateful that you fucked me over on here and not ebays powerseller boards, thats a bit like saying 'you should be glad i chopped your finger off, it could have been you arm'. And sorry for not PMing you straight away, i do have a business to run, i cannot spend my life answering your questions.

As for the person earlier who asked why i had only left one feedback, he has not left feedback for me, my policy is to return feedback after i receive it. I left the guy one to get him off the mark, but if i leave him 7 more positives he could just neg me and i couldnt do anything about it, i dont think for a second that he would, but if you check, he has not even left feedback for the one i left him feedback for, why should i leave it for him when he doesnt leave it for me? All my items are sent with a slip stating feedback is returned when it is given.

so affart, get his bidding percentages for the last 90 days, not just the ones that go in your favour

While I'm sure everyone appreciates members who warn others about suspicious bidding/selling activities on eBay, please do be careful with your language when making such a post. I know that your heart's in the right place (and bless you for that!), but we always have to realize that we don't and can't possibly know everything... and as such, there's always much more than what meets the eye. One could make a post like "Item #XXXXXX seems a bit suspicious to me, because blahblahblah" as opposed to "(username) is definitely shill bidding". The difference is that the former promotes a sensible resolution, while the latter just motivates the accused party to go on the offense and things will just get more and more heated up from there. At the end, it may turn out to be a battle of words and character assassination instead of the clarification of facts and details... and we all know which one is more practical

Try to cool down, alright?

On that note...if anybody wants my Disneyland Horror Politics Fuckup 2....you know where I am ;-)

if anyone has any baldwins they dont want let me know and i'll see if i can help them out. i have several, but looking for more. pm away with what you have and a price.

Haven't forgotten anything just don't like enough to buy

adrian, this is actually a serious question. with the proceeds of the sale of your grin reaper, do you not think, in retrospect, that maybe you should have plouged your money in to the other talent from brighton?

oh, and i don't mean hutch.

Hi Tom, i wish to have bought some other banksy prints as i still like him, but you have to make choices in life... and for me... Banksy is no longer affordable to me... i have my liimits... I know some forum member who owns my grin reaper will some day be enjoying it being valued and exchanging at 10-15k or more... whatever - i enjoyed it in my portoflio for a couple of months, sold it, new owner is happy, i am happy, thats the end of the story...

So, I happen to have become one of Dans loyal supporters... and will keep being so.. artists do not come from bristol only... unforuntalely even in my country we have tens of artists some of which i also collect, but they will never make the grade as they are from tiny island of Malta....

considering what you said in that case i should have bought micallefs as he bears maltese surname!

however, thanks to my research into banksy I was introudced to works by dan which for various reasons struck me (i own some of his works which have a lot of JMB style in them) .... but you know... you either like an artist or you dont... i have my own reasons for liking Dans work... and these are framed and on my walls, unlike the banksy... and at least i have managed to establish a communication with him... unlike banksy, and my futile effort to communicat with micallef...

he is a very nice and respectable person too... i have bought some extra prints for the sake of financing my expensive purchases.. and i am honest about it...

returning again to the GR, i still appreciate your comments and still have a pic somewhere on my pc of your framed one... (which i can honestly say that it was a geniune questions at that time).... and i dont understand why you mention the GR again.... its a closed chapter.

I also like to go against the current flow in terms of artists and likes ... yeah it gets me -ve respect points but i buy what i like and believe in after all....

as regards to brighton talent I will be happy to buy when the time is right and finances are opportune and when i see the art in my eyes to have potential..... right now i have put my eyes on baldwin and lesser known elliot.... i am sure his time will come.

I am no saatchi but everyone can be his own saatchi....

cheers and have a good weekend
