Oh, sorry. I thought you said that you had bid. I do not know then if my next suggestion would be doable then but somehow it might be of assistance to eBay, even if it doesn't help you directly, to send a letter to them. It appears that this person may have a history.

I was just looking around on and found something interesting. There is no record of vegaschips1 now or ever regarding a user id history. I also checked trains-n-chips and did find that the name is associated with a previous name of vegaschips1. It could be once the new name is established the old name ceases to exist on it's own. It is also interesting that at the exact time that Randy had posted the thread about theft of scans and Dave Smith posted about the problems that he had, the seller changed the name to Trains-N-Chips. Dave's and Randy's posts were posted on April 29, 2002. 2 days later this seller changed their name to Trains-N-Chips. If nothing else, this thread does serve to thouroughly notify people of the history of this seller. Maybe their sales will drop or whatever. Hopefully the seller won't simply change names again.
