    ever have an Ebayer nemesis ? I have one !!!!!!

    Man there's just one dude I can't stand..This guy is really killing it for Ultimate warrior collectors out there. He's not a collector just a reseller in it for the money (which is fine) I get it, if the items are selling for that!! this guy buys every Limited edition Warrior figures that are only between 5-20 in the world and lists them at like triple the prices. He hardly ever sells any, and he must have deep pockets to sit on all that stuff, but it really makes hard on collectors like myself who save up a little at a time to be able to afford one of these once a year or every couple of years. Anyone else ever have this happen to them? His ebay name is biceps-inc ...I had been watching 2 rare figures for the last week, and this guy got me again last night at 2 am. I was gonna bid on this with minutes to go and no bids, it was $750 and sucks cause I had bought that from Warrior before he died for $450 and he never sent it to me..I was willing to go $800 but that's it, I am glad I put up the price to $950 though


    Here's pretty much what he'll ask...and check out what he asks for the others.. Guy doesn't pay more then $1200-$1500 (which is what they go for on ebay on a good day) unless someone who doesn't know anything gets ripped off



    sorry for my rant, just frustrated

    I can't stand that guy "Trader By Nature" who take perfectly good toys apart and sells off the pieces at ridiculous prices! (I don't know if he's still on Ebay, it's been awhile since I've seen him).

      That would be frustrating. I guess I underdrsnd his strategy, as long as he sells some occasionally. If ii were you, I'd be super frustrated. Hopefully, he'll disappear eventually.

          How about the jerks that buy up Sideshow statues that aren't even released yet and already have them listed for more than DOUBLE the retail price. They always put "sold out" and "hard to find" in their titles and descriptions.

            yea it's just super annoying... if he was a Warrior collector I would'nt mind as much.. but the fact that he wants to be the only one with him to determine the market on these just ticks me off...

              Hopefully they'll find a warehouse full of the figures and that guy will be screwed!

                Warrior had them made specifically for him by Jakks, as well as other different designs, so there won't be anymore or finds. They're kind of official customs in a sense.

                      I met him many years ago backstage in Las Vegas. He was wrestling the late-great Ravishing Rick Rude. James Hellwig signed my wrestling program (along with many others that night). I have always hung on to it because it is the only one I ever received with so many wrestler's signatures. Thus, I am very happy I got his autograph so many years ago.

                        I had one about 15 years ago when I was trying to get a boxed Suckerman. An eBayer by the handle floomdorm was killing it for me. Every single Suckerman on eBay at one point was being bid on by either me or floomdorm. It finally ended for me when I figured out how to snipe.
                        If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.

                          Sometimes you need to be careful with something like that, they could have both known each other and were
                          hoping to sucker you into paying more, especially when the same buyer is making bids on the same sellers stuff.

                          I doubt very much it's still going on, if so it's probably less than 2% of sellers, but a ways back I noticed a seller
                          who had the same buyer bidding on there stuff regardless of what was being sold, it just raised a red flag.

                            Until just now, I never even thought of that. I just thought the bidder was the biggest Suckerman fan on Earth.
