Oh crap he is bidding...The high bidder retracted his bid,I thought you guys were just joking around.Guess he doesn't know the difference then

Well - I took a look at this and instantly recognized my repro card. I'm the only one doing ST Aliens cards on superclams.

Then I realized I sold a repro carded romulan over a year ago. Did a little search and sure enough:

MEGO T2 reproduction ROMULAN on STAR TREK ALIEN CARD! - (eBay item 6039769901 end time Mar-05-06 18:07:31 PST)

(I re-loaded the images again so they show up)

So - there is 100% confirmation it's a repro since it was originally my figure. And I know for sure that's my repro card. Looking back I recognize that ebay ID but I think this was before we all knew what was going on.

Nah, you're not a bad person. You're the GREATEST guy!

I have noticed that aquahawxx always bidding almost all of different kind Megos, daily & nights. Also POTA too! I wanna to win POTA with a GREAT deal!!!!!!!! ...........

I hope aquahawxx is not outbiding me for POTA stuff....... I'll try to outbid aquahawxx!

Is aquahawxx member of this Mego Museum or in M.C? Just curious.

Anyone could say the same for me I will almost always put a bid on something cheap for custom parts and often I bid over his first bid on an item I am just so f'n cheap I seldom win.

I was surprised myself. But sure enough, there it is. I'd like to understand this better too

I noticed everybody has retracted their bids on this one. I also notice this guy has a "mint on card" Kirk that looks very much like a EMCE figure (shiny boots, slightly askew collar, light colored hands, etc.).....the picture is taken at an odd angle making it difficult to be sure....Anybody else think its a fake also?

[Corellian Corvette]

That looks like a vintage Kirk to me. If it's not, it's an AMAZING re-seal on a really nice card (the EMCE card is not the same on the back)

He also has a decnet looking pair of Robin Hood figures that also look original. Maybe he really didn't know what he had.

I know aquahawx bids on everything He is also bidding on one of my ebay items and hopefully he looses.

There is no need to hope he loses any auctions you may have later on though... All you have to do is block him from bidding...

And, as far as the Romulan auction that this thread is about, I just looked at eBay to check out what everyone was talking about and seen this:

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

So, hopefully all the emails that were sent telling the bidders it was a fake and the resulting bid retractions paid off....

teri4364 wwas one of Schmidt's many banned scammer ID's

Awful blatant of him to pass it off as real. He must have gotten comfortable this last year without us riding him. I kind of miss it.

Maybe eBay should be alterted to the fact that a member with about 10 banned Ids is still selling on eBay under a new ID.

Well, The scammer Schmidt is shut down once again and disaster averted, due to the power of an honest community of collectors.
