.... I would like to see more investigation done that way on london_olympics*. This account seems suspicious because of its constant name changing. ....
Did some extensive research and here are just some of the more suspicious activities related to the account london_olympics* - takeover from HK:
"Finally found enough evidence on the long suspected and already mentioned former bond_girl, currently london_olympics* and usa_dream_team*. Her favourite shilling account unfortunately comes from the U.S. and is impatchesthecat (eBay hidden ID: c***h (970) ).
Evidence:
1. Recently the two engaged
here. Feedback for this transaction was left positive, but card is
relisted.
2. Similar happened with a 1999-00 Upper Deck Cool Air 1/1 with the same
buyer impatchesthecat:
Originally london_olympics*
bought this card for 1302.77 USD on 04/15/2012. About 1 month later london_olympics* tried to resell the card for a higher price. Unfortunately
the ending price was only 976 USD. Guess who was the buyer ? Right, impatchesthecat. Card was later
resold by PWCC for 800 USD, who works on consignment. So, would not expect him to be negatively involved.
3. An old example is this - sold more then a year ago
09/12/11 to impatchesthecat.
A similar card was offered a little
later by impatchesthecat. If you look at the 3rd highest bidder,
it is london_olympics*
4. Sold more then a year ago from london_olympics to impatchesthecat
was
this BGS Patch card. Card is
currently listed again by london_olympics*.
It should also be noted, that during 2011 impatchesthecat did place 16 bids on high end 90s of MJ, winning 5 cards. Of the 16 bids by impatchesthecat, 2 winning bids went to specialtyrarities
on 5/31 for a 1997-98 Z-Force Super Rave 33/50 and a 1997-98 Legacy /100 BGS 9.5 6633322. These 2 cards were won on 5/31 and both sold on 06/27 by london_olympics*. Guess who placed a bid on the Z-Force Super Rave 33/50 on 06/27 after winning that card on 5/31 already ?
Impatchesthecat as the 4th highest bidder.
All in all 6 of impatchesthecat 16 total bids went to london_olympics* and another 5 to usa_dream_team* (another london_olympics* account) Thats 11 out of 16 for the year, which went directly or indirectly to the former bond_girl (now london_olympics*).
So, consider twice before you bid on items of these 3 sellers:
london_olympics* (AUS)
usa_dream_team* (AUS)
impatchesthecat (USA)
Btw, thanks to eBay. It´s great that you can now sometimes look up auctions older then a year. This makes it much easier detecting shill bidders and their companions. "
