You could also just take a picture of it with your NA user name written on a piece of paper in the picture.

Interesting. I'm not convinced yet but if Joshuah is not a scammer then color me shocked.

Not to mention it's a completely unreadable "fancy italic cursive font" on an iPhone....




That font irritates me to no end.

Well, I'm glad a lot of us were proven wrong . Most people are suspicious when someone new signs up and claims they have something rare with no photos.

Good luck on your auction and Welcome to NA

The funny thing is I've been a part of the forum community for years and should have known better than to post a thread claiming I had something so rare without some kind of proof.. I very much deserved all ridicule and doubt by anyone who posted above.. Shit come over to one of the Body Building forums I'm on and simply ask how to cycle correctly and they'll eat you alive, lol..
Anyway, I appreciate the kind words and good lucks by those who posted them.. Hoping for the best out of this whole deal considering I'm not in the best of financial, living or life situations at the moment..

Oh, he re-listed as buy it now for $940 and someone bought it. That's pretty shitty. I mean, not for him.

Yeah I had a bid on it, he canceled it, and apparently sold it to someone else who messaged him. Crappy.

Yeah that was me, sorry. I didn't realize making BIN offers on new auctions with one bid was considered backdooring, but apparently it is and I'm headed to the Hall of Shame. I feel like that's a pretty common practice, I'm just the idiot who publicly admitted to it. Oh well, I had a good run here.

Wow, that sucks, Brent. I'm not surprised though.

@mjwatts: Was there a Buy it Now on the auction from the beginning or did you send the seller one of those "I'll give you $$$ right now if you end the auction"?

That's not backdooring. You won't be put in hall of shame. Hope you got a good deal.

Says who?   Getting a BIN added to an ebay auction (even if it has a bid) isn't backdooring.

Now if it sold for less than $940 and you offered that after it sold, that's backdooring that'll earn you a HOS badge here.

Ok that's good to know. I didn't think it was backdooring, glad I'm in the clear.

Yay! Everyone wins! Except the guys who didn't BIN.

Yeah. There was no buy it now at the beginning, I was the first bidder. If there was a buy it now for $940, then I would have bought it . I was suprised the seller fell for the "end it now" message, I didn't even think of trying that. 99% of the time it will go for more if you let the auction play out, and I just figured most sellers knew that.
The only one who really lost out here was the seller, they would have gotten a couple hundred more had they let the auction go. No hard feelings though.
I was second highest bidder on that other Gray MM NFR that sold last night, so obviously I was willing to pay just shy of the $1204 or whatever it went for. Hopefully that high price will bring some more out of hiding.
