I sorta know who the guy is (know his name anyway), from buying something from him. I bet a few of us know who he is, as he has positive feedback from 115 unique buyers just since November, and classic lightweight stuff is pretty much all he sells. I've e-mailed him to ask if I can "out" him, but I'll respect his wish if he'd rather remain anonymous.
He had to switch to the alias Photocyclist in November when his previous alias, gomesbike, was booted by ebay for "keyword spamming" - too much naming of other brand names in auction descriptions so your auction will turn up in searches. I feel he was unjustly booted. While I don't like keyword spamming when it's excessive or intended to mislead, the ones he was booted for were mild in my opinion - I see plenty worse every day.
I mention the gomesbike alias because in fairness he ought to get credit for all that positive feedback he had accrued under his old alias too.
He's got over a hundred auctions going right now including the '58 Campy crank currently over $1000 with a week to go! I would like to know where he gets all this stuff - anyone know?
