Ebay Item #111936548261

I used to report people, but now feel it's a waste of time. If eBay bothers with it now, (they often don't), and actually suspend an account the people just get a new one within an hour and are back at it under a different name.

One strike against you for unpaid bidder is not a big deal. Sellers can't block you from bidding until you've had two of these strikes within a 12 month period.
I'm guessing most sellers don't have their unpaid bidder block set up at all. The default setting for this is 5 strikes in 6 months I think.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, that's for sure!

Example: Saturday I won an auction for a lot of way outdated data jacks. The $17 USD I spent will yield about 2 grams of gold. I only know this because I've tested the same material.

Well, it's confession time. Just got my box of old data jacks, and they are a year or two newer than I thought they were. No 2+ grams of Au. This one was all on me. Correctly represented by the seller, misread by the buyer.

I guess that falls back on experience, (or lack thereof) and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

Lesson learned this time: ASSUME NOTHING!! Even though they 'looked' identical to what I've worked with, and they basically are, I should have looked up the part numbers.

But with what I paid and what I got, still wasnt a bad buy, I should at least double that $17 even after chemicals and time.

Ben are you talking about RJ45 jacks?

 

[UncleBenBen]

No, Mr. Walston, these are the jacks in the wall that the rj45 patch cables plug in to. The same pins in those jacks were used in at least 3 other ways that I have found.

The jack looks like this...


The jack itself plugs into the assembly with this...


And if it was the type I was hoping for, those fingers would plug in to these...

 

[rewalston]

Thank you Ben, I've never seen those types of jacks. Only seen them on NIC cards.

[UncleBenBen]

They are some good stuff Rusty. Makes me almost cry to think of the hundreds if not thousands I've thrown away over the years at work.

Another reason why I should have gotten in to this sooner!!

I see that EBay seller is still repeating the same bulls**t and lies about that rack of boards in his auction. I decided to send him a message demonstrating how what he says makes no sense, just to rattle his cage. At least it should get me blocked from his auctions so I never have to worry about bidding on one of them inadvertently!

I appealed the unpaid item mark on my record and eBay has removed it, thanks all again for your advice.
