Dude says he is from Brazil.

Seller is in Hawaii.

Too late the GAF circlejerk is in FULL sswing.

Detective GAF legit scares me sometimes haha

Say what you will about me (and plenty do!) but I never lie on GAF. The risk of discovery, and the subsequent mockery, is simply too great.

Has anyone calculated the odds of someone with the same user name on GAF and eBay buying and selling the same number of a limited edition product? Because I am guessing it's astronomical. At the very least OP should buy a lottery ticket today or something.

 

[Silent Chief]

Sure there's a certain internal logic to all of this, but claiming that this is common sense is stupid. I don't know why the OP should be expected to know and understand all that Amazon bullshit.

This all common knowledge. Why would anybody hold something for you if all they have is an expired credit card? Just because they don't charge you until they ship, doesn't mean they can't audit the card whenever they please. It's all done through automated scripts anyway.

 

[Patapwn]

You didnt invest enough points in luck

 

[LowSignal]

Sorry to hear that happened, what system was it for?

 

[GuardianE]

I'm always surprised when people don't understand how authorization charges work.

 

[The Flash]

Lol

God damn, this gets better by the minute.

 

[PapaJustify]

Admit now, OP, that you are said ebayer. And be redeemed for what it's worth. The noose is getting tighter and tighter around your neck.

There we have it. Right from the eBay feedback.
So this guy uses the same username and lives in the same place.

Still could disprove by showing the country and state that OP changed the address to.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

got got

 

[Mr_Kuschels]

Don't think that leaves enough room for much profit after fees and stuff.

Lol, initially I only read the first post. After your comment, I started reading the rest.

Hilarious.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Oh, so the scalper got scalped???

He's busted. I think continuing to deny it would appear foolish.

 

[Zabant]

Oh wow! What another currazzyyyy coincidence!!

It's a shame this guy moved from your home country of Brazil to Hawaii, you two have so much in common I bet you would have been best friends!

[Ridill]

Wow. This is hilarious. This is...scandalous.


But yea don't change your address. =P

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

Cracked open a beer for this one

 

[Jobbs]

OP, admit it, fess up, take your licks. Best option at this point.

 

[rdytoroll]

Wait for OP denying this one too, lol

 

[GRIMREEFZ]

probably bc u ordered 3.

 

[diablos991]

Linking to a LinkedIn is going too far.

Keep it simple at speculation, no need to witch hunt.

Oh man...

 

[Bronetta]

Well OP works as a game dev

There you have it. Case closed. Well done detectiveGAF

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Chances of hearing from op again?

 

[Eggbok]

Reading through this thread like

 

[manny10032]

OP why....

Edit: Damn beaten by a few seconds hahaha

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

this reminds me of that epic thread about the user complaining about microsoft changing his gamertag and neogaf moderators owning him LOL

 

[Revven]

Holy shit... this thread backfire is HUGEEEEE.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'd be careful in this thread. Last time detectiveGAF tried stuff out people got banned for quoting it.

 

[Messi]

Well OP works as a game dev

 

[deoee]

Chances of hearing from op again?

The same as two persons buying the same amount of an insanely limited product with the same username and one of them selling it on ebay and both of them living in brazil beforehand but one moving to Hawaii.

 

[jesu]

Well this thread will go down in Neogaf history.

 

[outunderthestars]

Detective GAF scares me.

 

[Neuromancer]

Hey OP. Just fess up, it'll be ok and we'll even like you more for it on the other side.

 

[Trojita]

Detective GAF. Oh man.

Also the people here do realize he could list Hawaii as his location but still be in Brazil right? He's "shipping" the item to them for free via Amazon by inserting their address into Amazon's system in the place of the address he originally registered.

 

[Bronetta]

Be a man! Do the right thing!

 

[GeeDuhb]

Yeah, drop-shipping definitely has its risks.

The seller is placing a lot of control and trust in the drop-shipper's hands. That is something that I wouldn't trust amazon with when there is a high demand + low supply item.

I would say the dirtiest part of this whole thing (assuming the "coincidences" are not that) is the fact that OP is trying to use Amazon US to do his Ebay scalping drop shipping from Brazil... -_-

[Shadow_Lord]

Posted again for emphasis

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I am second hand embarrassed for the OP

 

[FistOfSyn]

OP came in with a good intention tho guys

Spoiler

still, detective GAF is too strong

 

[deoee]

I am second hand embarrassed for the OP

Sell it on ebay!

 

[Lady Siara]

Posting in future graveyard.

Unfortunate for OP but at least you have your other two orders. This whole journey was a bit silly and unnecessary but it was certainly entertaining!
