I have sent apologies to a few people because I feel I may have intruded upon their sales threads, that was not right - but this guy is a parasite and it is hard to ignore such a menace to the community.
he is a parasite - he will beg, haggle, buy (then ask to take 2 months to pay), then ask for loans to pay for the things he bought etc etc
and then sell the things he gets for cheap and/or free for prices so outrageous. I mean I was slammed for what might have been a $15 to $20 profit after shipping. This guy goes for 10x profit easily and for items that are still easily accessible and not out of stock either.
examples -
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Extremely-Rare-Bitcoin-Nasty-Pool-One-Gram-Coin/124416710806?hash=item1cf7d05896:g:Ny0AAOSw4qxfWBIFhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Extremely-Rare-Bitcoin-Nasty-Fan-One-Gram-Coin/124416456194?hash=item1cf7cc7602:g:x4kAAOSw~2FfWBOJand he will list them on both the forums and eBay at the same time - while denying that the eBay account is his. Also, the two above are for the same coin - wonder what he does if people bid on both? He claims he has multiple coins but when something is serialized you don't post picture of the address and then send the buyer a different serialized coin (by serialized I obviously mean the bitcoin address).
he then at the same time was selling the same coin on the forums but also saying the address on the coin he would send was different.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-and-rare-Ether-Crypto-Coin-Serial-number-65-out-of-100-with-COA-Holo/124416457595?hash=item1cf7cc7b7b:g:D50AAOSw4iVfWBXPand on the forums:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5284043and another one on the same eBay account, 10 of these are $50 from minerjones who has quite a bit still - he is selling it for $100 for one - that is 20x increase.
he has since taken down the listing so I only have a screenshot.
there are more examples but really, how many are needed? Nothing wrong with making a profit, but when the person spends the whole time begging for free "mega" raffles and haggling for super discounts because he is a "newbie" to the collectors world and then to immediately toss it up on eBay for a such a mark up.
These types of people are not "in" crypto for anything other then to con, scheme, rip off anyone they can - simply, for the money. A lot of us are in crypto for the money as well but we are also here for other, deeper, more important reasons - we love crypto, we want to spread the awareness, the use of crypto.
Alam/rainbow/bla2k and his few other names are a parasite and a threat to the community they try to pretend and act like they care about.
Ban the account and then keep banning him when he comes back - he is not capable of hiding or changing who he is and it is always very apparent who he is when he returns.
