sku_u Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Holy SH$%$!?! I've never seen a worse example of keyword spamming in my life. I reported the guy to ebay. Some more of you should so they actually do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Wow, that is pretty damn amazing. Not only did he keyword spam, he made no attempts at hiding the keywords and then brags about doing so! This is definitely one for the "What were they thinking?" Hall Of Fame. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 He obviously revised his description - perhaps he reads this forum. I still hope it gets pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 He obviously revised his description - perhaps he reads this forum. I still hope it gets pulled. I agree, and he's not even trying to hide the spamming, he just has a shorter (but still significant) list of keywords. He must have realized that the stupid taunting was pissing people off. Sellers like this need to realize that while keyword spamming may cause more people to look at your auction, it only fosters ill will and I sure as hell will not bid on anyone's auctions at all if they are spamming like this. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Kinda like when you're searching the web for 'Atari' and then find yourself on some other 'nasty' website you didn't want to go to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Yep. That guy hit me with two of my saved searches: "Cubicolor 2600" and "Okie Dokie 2600". By the way, the new AA Auctions are hitting my "Okie Dokie 2600" as well. Grr! I'm looking for a numbered original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the AtariAge reproduction instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 That man is crazy.And what the hell was he thinking? He was thinking, "I'm going to be blatantly obvious and tell everybody what I'm doing because I'm a wannabe villain for a James Bond movie (or an Austin Powers parody)."

It was #77 that I sold two or three years ago. I needed a little cash, but now I feel so stupid. I still have the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky817 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 hmm.... there's a thing that he wrote at the bottom, and i quote "EMAIL ME WITH *ANY* QUESTIONS".... somebody should email him and ask him why the HELL he's keyword spamming like that.... that's a bit rude if you ask me...
