Sure, that's a given. If you've read through the messages on this
guy, you'll see that the function of this sort of thread is to
alert folks to the fact that this guy is presumably an habitual
liar regarding the quality/condition of the products he sells.
While other sellers might do the same thing, there has been an
established pattern noted by some with regard to this specific
seller. By alerting the rest of us to this, the thread is serving
to potentially improve knowledge on the buyers' side. Other
threads have highlighted instances of alleged shill bidding on this
guys part, even noting, for instance, that one of his profiles had
once left feedback on the other.

I've been on this forum long anough to recognize that small core of
individuals who when this topic comes up all pile on with the same
litany of complaints and responses over and over. If this guy was
really that bad his rating would be so low that Ebay would drop him.


Snip

This thread started out with a warning about a specific auction not
vague or wide ranging complaints against this guy.

first time he bought something from me under gottahaveit1995 and sold
it two weeks

later as radio-mart the auctions in question a 5837723543 and

can ever believe anything he says in his auctions.


Yes, this is a specific example or experience dealing with this
individual not a vague complaint. Specific examples or experiences can
be learned from unlike vague or wide ranging complaints. Here is the

a couple of weeks ago I listed on eBay a broken FRG-7700 receiver.
the buyer was gottahaveit1995. it was paid for and shipped to Martyn
Allison. today, Radio-mart has listed that identical FRG-7700,
including the CD I made and included. he made up a story that was not
true that he had sold this receiver in working condition and it was
returned broken. Radio-mart also happens to be Martyn Allison. and
this is not the first time he bought something from me under
