go to this auction and look at what this guy is trying to feed ebayers about the muscles he is trying to sell, trying to pass off regular figures as "ultra rare" that he got from a send away offer. What an a-hole.

http://cgi.ebay.com/...item=1759366414

On another note, there is a salmon hand in the lot if anyone is looking for that color #153

[jkaris]

What a doofus. I sent him this:

You had to send away for them huh? Haha. I can get a sealed can of 10 over at www.Toybliss.com for $7.99. Slick marketing. By the way the only thing that was offered as a send away for MUSCLE's was the poster.

Did you see his buy it now for $49.99? Ooh, I better act fast before someone bids on it!
Haahaa! What a joke!

[arforbes]

Yeah, I saw that auction this morning before I left for work. I laughed out loud when I saw him trying to sell them as Rare Mail Away figures. What a load of crap!

What does this guy think, there's no one out there that knows anything about the M.U.S.C.L.E. toy line! Haha, yeah right!

What a B.S. artist!

[musclemenkids]

the sad thing is he probably did send away, got a coloured ten pack and opened it, i mean you have to admire his....well i dunno, but i am almost sure there is something there to admire, probably.

Check this out. I wrote to this "person" trying to let him know the jig was up and got this nice response:

you don't like it don't look and for another yea I did send for them
dorkhead stop writing this address with your usueless info if you have a
question that's fine otherwise eff off!

> The M.u.s.c.l.e.s in your auction are not Rare. There were no
M.u.s.c.l.e.s offered in that way. Even if they were, all the ones you
list are just as common as all the other multicolored M.u.s.c.l.e. You might
want to change your auction discription.

Nice guy huh?

[arforbes]

Some people are just amazing!

This guy needs an enema!!!

[M.u.s.c.l.e. God]

Anyway a$$, d!ckhead and f@ck were used.

[jkaris]

a-hole alert a-hole alert!!!!

SOOO, I sent him this:

Oooh, you're real civil. Real civil. The civility is just dripping from this email. Hey I do have a question for you. Why do you say they are rare, when there are over 40 similar auctions going right now? Hey I must be sitting on a whole ton of money, since I have about 7000 of them. Real rare. Another question for you. Do you really think that anyone will be uninformed enough to pay $49.99 buy it now for those. Haha. You might get the opening bid, if you're lucky. A little honesty might work better for you on this one, instead of trying to reel in some sucker with a misleading description. You had to send away for them? What, to an online toy store for $7.99? You are a funny man.

-Johnny

What a dumbass!

[doc_moore_j]

That is so effing funny, I saw this auction, emailed him a letter similar to the one you guys did, but maybe not so nice, then rushed here to see if you guys have seen it yet. So I assume I have another email on the way. I say we all email this dorkshizznitter to let him know what a dumbass he is, then email whoever bids on it not only to tell them they are stupid too for falling for it, but that they are fooled by his trickery, then we email Ebay to let them know this auction is a bunch a crap, nothing rare at all, not even the names are correct except Niku, and that is probably because he copied it off of Meat's shirt haahahahhaaahahahahaa!!! Can ebay cancel or bust this guy for selling false crap? If not, I still say we keep emailing him just for the muscleheads that are new and might fall for such crap.

[doc_moore_j]

Just another thought guys. For those of you who sent this guy Toybliss's website, I am not sure that is the best thing to do to this dork. Now he will order a few ten packs and pull the same bullshizznit. I'd rather he sell what few "rare" muscles he has, and never hear from him again.

[GRANDTHEFT]

LOL
that guy is suck a wanka

obviously he had no idea about us muscle heads



mischa

[jkaris]

Haha, here we go again.....

well...now that you put it that way...eff off and since you , the guru of
knowledge and one that "knows it all", I would say to this high being who
has nothing better to do than to e-mail people because he is a complete
loser and has no life other than his muscle men, the mounds and mounds he sits on,{you must have one sore arse?} you anal retentive eff, why should I be civil to a hapless ape who throws crap at mirrrors just to feel some sort of life out of is miserable effing wastrel he calls his own? you need a screw.

SO of course I had to reply....

Who's got issues? Certainly not me. I sent you a lighthearted email, and you sent a scathing one back. You have issues. I think you fit the description of a "hapless ape who throws crap at mirrrors just to feel some sort of life out of is miserable effing wastrel he calls his own" I just thopught it was funny how you posted a misleading description, and you replied back with more filth than you can find on the Vegas Strip on any given day. A bit touchy are we? Haha. Your hilarious.

And the thread grows by the minute......

So I replied as such:

Your language skills are atrocious, did you make it past the 3rd grade?

(you know, I just had to rattle this asswipes chain)

I think we should all send him an email telling him what we think of him...
http://cgi.ebay.com/...item=1759366414
Click his name and you can send him an email via eBay. Keep it decent when you send it via eBay, but when he replies via email, reply and ROAST him. Have fun.........

[RubzOne]

People like this should not be allowed to have children.

[Tortle]

Good lord! I'm gone for a few days and look at all the havoc you guys have created!

Great work, guys! This is a classic example of a toy dealer trying to rape the collectors. I urge everyone NOT to bid on this guy's auction! It's mighty tempting, given the figures that are there, but just let it go! The less he gets for these figures, the less chance he'll try this crap again!

-Nathan

[doc_moore_j]

I have written him twice now to tell him off, and sends me the same replies he is sending you guys. You think he is getting so burnt out from responding to us that he is just cutting and pasting messages back to us? I say we keep writing him. This is funny, so while I am not here, or surfing ebay, I can be effing this guy over ha!

[Doctor Dew]

man that is too dam funny. my brother and i almost laughed our asses off. i sent the seller this email.

"hey there, just writing because i saw your listing and thought you should know that all of those figures you have up are actually pretty common. and i am pretty sure a Muscle Poster was the only send-away from Mattel. but it is an easy mistake given their bright colors and cool poses. good luck!"

hopefully it is nice enough to where they will write me back with their email address. the sad part is that some of the first emails, like Muscle God's, were VERY polite and didn't deserve such a harsh response. they could have just said, "yeah i know, thanks" and be done with it. so given the attitude of the responses they sent, it is obvious they are a toy scalper and are upset that their scheme isn't working as well as they'd hoped. if it was just an average somebody that made an honest mistake, i dont think they would have lashed out as they did.

too bad for them.....

[doc_moore_j]

Yeah

[doc_moore_j]

Anybody else email this guy? I emailed him today just to piss him off ha ha.

[musclemenkids]

yeah i emailed him too. his response was not filled with as much abuse as some of you guys got, but you can tell he was pissed off. i asked him if when he sent off for them they came in the sealed garbage can and explained how the value would have dropped he had indeed opened them. He "thanked" me for his brilliance and went on to say "of course they didn't come in any packaging because they're over 20yrs old(?). anyway i sent him another series opf questions related to his particular item, so let's see if he comes up with anything. if he stops responding to us we can safely assume he has probably jumped off a bridge in an attempt to end this madness

[doc_moore_j]

Yeah, I wrote him today just to remind him that he is an a-hole, I did not even mention muscle men, I never got a response back, so I assumed he already took the plunge.

[Doctor Dew]

i was disappointed. apparently my email was too nice. all he wrote to me was "thanks". thats it. so i didn't feel justified in flipping him crap. but for those of you that he was rather harsh with, go for it....

[GRANDTHEFT]

Phark me you guys are funny
i'm gunna do the same just to get an abusive email back
i'll let you know how i go




mischa

[musclemenkids]

i got another email in answer to my questions he reckons he sent away for them through some sort of magazine years and years ago. he was quite polite this time so it would seem we muscleheads have at least beat some manners into him, Hoorah!
