Ebay Usernames

Wils · 23 January, 2003, 04:45:15 PM

If there's an Ebay auction I've got my eye on and notice that the highest bidder is a name I recognise from the board, as a matter of courtesy, I won't bid, even if it's something I *really* want.

It occurred to me though, that quite a few people (like me, for example) will have a username not resembling their board name or real name at all. I was thinking that we could possibly start a list of people with non-obvious Ebay names so we know if one of the Irregulars (as DXB calls us) is already bidding.

I'll start the ball rolling:

Board Name: Wils
Ebay Name: shakara!

My eBay name is Nimeous

I'm bidding for loads of back issues just now. I need 2, 8-11, 31, 33, 52, 76-80 and 95 as well as most of 150 - 223.

Prog 534 - Pah! The previous 533 ain't too shabby.

So pretty please leave me alone (that includes poxy Devons Daddy - ?16 for fecking number 8. Bugger me!)

Board Name: opaque
Ebay Name: Opaque_Entity

I know what you mean about not wanting to bid against someone you recognise, occasionally it's nice to know it's a proper fan getting something.

I've got most of the things I want and it's really only rarer things that I don't have now and I couldn't afford them anyway. It's artwork that I'm throwing myself into this year anyway after finishing off my prog collection mainly due to Ebay last year!
