I think I hit a raw nerve. I sent the following email to auctionsbrisbane:
Dear auctionsbrisbane,
Are you Mark Schneider.. used to be All Pinball... then Playwell Games?
If so, I am advised that you have a reputation for artificially driving prices up on ebay. I am genuinely bidding on this item and am aware of what a realistic price should be for pinball machines. If I become aware of any improper conduct or fraud, I will be taking legal action. I hope this auction will be conducted fairly. If not, pull it now.
He replied:
Dear bossninja17,
Whoever you are,
If you make allegations then have the courage to identify yourself and your sources. Hiding behind a key board making accusations is the act of a consummate coward.
For the record, neither Mark (he was the owner) nor I or anyone else here has EVER done that. This auction along with all others past and present will be run professionally and legitimately as described.
Your threat of legal action is laughable and infantile thinking. Firstly you would have to identify yourself and given your accusation is completely false nothing would come of it. By all means start your legal action.
In light of your false allegations, please don't EVER bid on any of our items, your bids are not welcome at all.
Roger.
