Is this guy serious?

though under different ebay names ( his old ebay ID's were - are
permanently suspended ) ..... he's done this several times in the
past. if it goes as usual ..... several ( sock puppet ) bidders will
take the price up to between $500 - $700 and he'll appear to make
the sale.

if you message him and ask if he is insane , he'll retort that " you "
simply don't understand the ( implied ) value of this " special
abilities " scanner and people " in the know " will bid properly on
it ( as evidenced by the shocking sock puppet bids
that eventually ensue. ) because of their superior understanding of
it's value !!! ya yay ahaha ha ah a

he usually publishes the questions ( probably sock puppets as well )
and answers in his auction ....... all this , tho oddly bizarre,
eventually to be a kind of scam to try to get some other person /s to
bite into his ploy and bid some outrageous price for this tired old
scanner !

in the feedback section , he usually comments about the high bidder'
s superior knowledge and appreciation of this " special " scanner
......
and the high bidder also raves about how great the $700 deal he got on
this beauty was !!!!! last time he did it , he screwed up and posted
the buyer's feedback before the buyer could have had time to get
possession of it ( think it was a few hours after the auction ended )
..ya ya yahh ah aha . far as I can tell, in his last several tries
, no one outside his sock puppet crowd has bitten on the scam and bid
on it ....... even so .. it still doesn't seem to stop him from trying
...... over and over again ! what a dip$hit !!! ay ay yaah aha haa

makes you wonder how he can get so many sock puppet ebay I.Ds
tho ....... not that large a selection of services over there in
Henderson ..... if that's where he really is !

maybe he fakes the sales to set up a ( phony ) historical auction
sales value of the scanner .. hoping to eventually get a phish
to reel in ..... dunno ..........
