Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors OT Blocked bidders for online auctions

Just looked around a little, and it seems that Lowprofile is Larry as well.

Could be wrong though.

Maybe a sticky should be posted revealing all of his/her/it's aliases.

Who is this guy? And why is he so disliked?

I don't understand why Rick Bin doesn't throw the coksucker off here once and for all!?!?!?!

I started this post to warn people not to take getting blocked to lightly - I found my self blocked for unknown reasons and it happened on eBay way before the auction of discussion on GunBroker occurred, I just used that as an example (I was not involved in that auction). I just wanted to warn people not to take getting blocked by one person to lightly because the sellers on these sites have a "group mentality" and generate lists of those they have blocked without having any legitimate reasons - when asked they will not even tell you why. They group together making lists with the likes of that seller on GB who is obviously blocking people just to be a jerk.

I found myself blocked on GunBroker when I tried to enter a $150 bid on an item, When I asked the seller why he blocked me, he said he probably got my name off a list, after looking at my feedback he said he took me off his blocked list and I could bid - well I didn't and the auction ended at $140 - who got hurt, I didn't need it that bad to deal with someone like him. If someone with a 100% positive feedback isn't good enough for him to deal with, he's never going to be happy with anything and I assume he would be difficult to deal with. My GunBroker feedback


I do really regret starting this thread, it has gone in directions I never anticipated or wanted it to, but as the person that started it I felt I should at least watch it - I had hoped a couple times that it would just fade on to the second page and eventually disappear. lowprofile, you sound like another resurrection of oldman42, even though you tell others not to, you keep "poking sticks" - just let it go. Hopefully this thread will just disappear.

As long as I am posting I found this stuff a few days ago but because I had hoped this thread would end so I didn't post - this is from a web site with tips for sellers on eBay, from sellers.
Here is some more about shipping � from an eBay seller.

Yes, I do regret starting this!!!! I apologize for having what I thought would be a simple informative post turn into this! I should have given much more thought to my initial post and not used that GunBroker auction as one of my examples!!!

Until then (if that is even possible) suspicion will be there is a Root behind every bush . The new posters will fall under increased scrutiny. Keep up the good work Lightfoot and Dog Hunter. Riled me before I realized his multiple ruse.

Kinda sad though. A man who has lived that long now has nothing better to do than this? Doubt he has many friends to share his exploits and laugh with. I say this from experience.

I have a close family member who is similarly anti-social. She believes her reasoning and attitude are appropriate and can't understand the negative reactions. Bright educated woman. Therapy and medications helped some but ultimately the negative comes out. She is now 69 and for all intents "institutionalized". Mental illness is a debilitating disease. Those who try to understand are often the ones who feel the greatest wrath.

I am glad you stared the thread Gene. Lots of good info between the BS .

OH GOSH! NOW IT LOOKS LIKE I'M IN TROUBLE!
