The eBay BS Game: Questionable items, Stephen King signatures, sellers

[Room 217 Caretaker]

This guy sells garbage:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King...item1c57ac1f85

All his auctions are suspect garbage.

You're right, Ralph. Garbage.

Wow, this may have already been shown here, but because the audacity of this seller is so.... audacious, I can't help posting this link.

The seller has apparently been called out several times before on the veracity of this King signature, and so he/she explains with absurd detail how each letter of the sig is actually spot on. Meanwhile, just a glance at the picture reveals that the forger was clearly mid-seizure during this pathetic attempt at a forgery. Or maybe the seller's right and I should just have a closer look at the 'G'.....

Yikes. I guess some forgers take pride in their work and some don't. That one is definitely the latter.

[Merlin1958]

Oh, my, Lord!!!!!

I contacted the guy. His response....

Look douche, I'm not trying to screw anyone over, this is like I said in my disclaimer, my opinion, decide for yourself. So! You cant really do anything because of that disclaimer. And again, other than your suppose collection, what other expertise do you have? Just fuck off, if it is taken down, I'll keep reposting it, just to piss you off.

Go get him, folks. I am!!!

[Merlin1958]

Follow up message. This guy is a psuedo-cop so be careful!!!! LOL

How do you fucking know this? Are you mother fucking jesus? I'm just trying to sell half my shit on here to make extra money. I've had this for a while, I posted it once and had someone, much more politely and less threatening, say he believed it was a forgery. So I researched, using as I said things I learned while obtaining a degree in criminal justice, so yea, I'm a lying swindler, with a police degree. I stated my findings, and asked people to think for themselves. Just piss off and worry about your own problems.

Its back up, with new starting bid price of 9.99, and BIN of $50. It also has this added comment:

"And despite my disclaimer, I still get threatening messages from hostile "experts" with nothing to to back up their claims other than harassment. To prove I am not attempting anything shady, the books is starting at exactly how much I paid, 3 years ago. "

I don't think it will sell, especially if anyone takes his advice and googles SK's signature and "decide for yourself". He has already planted enough doubt in anyone's mind.

Oh man, he is from Nashville ! I'm tempted to buy the book, get his address and give him a visit...

[Rahfa]

It probably accomplished what you wanted since with that 'disclaimer' I doubt people are going to line up to buy!

Wow! Love it. Congratulations Merlin on being accused of such an outrageously wonderful thing. This is a testament to you, I'd say.

Really, what a sentence....

Are you mother fucking jesus?

First of all, I'm not sure I want to imagine the scene of him dividing his shits in half (though there MAY be a market for this kind of thing). Secondly, disclaimer or no, I think the auction could then be disqualified as hazardous material/medical waste.

He's not talking to me anymore. Guess I burst his bubble. LOL Can you imagine? He has police training (supposedly) and he did an analysis and still thinks it's a good signature!!! Bet he works for a CSI team somewhere and never can find the blood at the scene!! LOL

Last thing he sent me extorted the fact that some poor jerk actually bid $10 on it. He was vindicated!!! LOL Ebay...you just can't make idiots like this up in your wildest dreams. LOL LOL LOL

[Tommy]

I sent a little message of my own, I really hope he calls me mother fucking jesus cause that is awesome!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I sent him a "very special" message too. LOL!

If he thinks that you're Jesus, he's gonna think that I am the devil when he reads my shit.... HAHAHAHA!!!!

[TCCBodhi]

I just plain reported it, no point in sending anything through to this troll.
