Possible scammer on ebay selling lots of G1 MOCs

[Diamond]

Yeah something sounds up, my husband I have each have our own accounts and I send money back and forth between them regularly depending upon if it is an ebay sale of something of mine or something of his.  So unless they where doing something fishy they would not lock or limit the account for simply transferring funds between it.

Hrm....I wonder....there have been a few lots of MOC/MIB ponies put up for sale in various parts of Iowa recently.  I know because my husband is from Iowa and so for the sake of not trusting new sellers I was thinking of seeing about picking up the items in person.  The other seller who had a large lot of MOC ponies for sale, like a MOC Munchy, has cancelled all the bids, pulled the auctions down, and is no longer a registered user.  And they're all in the same/similar area of Iowa. 

The one seller I was thinking of is rontoys70.  =(  Doesn't sound good.....

I had the same idea as you, cloud_weaver. It does seem odd that there are suddenly so many MOC/MIB ponies popping up in Iowa. There's usually not a whole lot going on there.

Found one other seller who had a bunch of MOC ponies in Iowa...and those ponies don't show in the listing anymore...so they must have been taken down.

So that's three different sellers who have tons of rare MOC/MIB ponies in Iowa, two of which have had the listings pulled down.  One seller had 0 feedback, the others each have 2.  The feedback is all from different people, mind you...but that doesn't say much.  All it takes is to ship out a couple of items to build up a little feedback.  =(  It does tend to make me a little nervous...

*edit to add names*

rontoys70 - 0 feedback, somewhere in Iowa (Des Moines, Waterloo area?)
alyzastoyz - 2 feedback, La Porte City, Iowa
yo61yo - 2 feedback, Zearing, Iowa

They're all about an hour or two apart.  I don't remember exactly which ponies each seller had, only that the MOC Munchy that rontoys70 had caught my eye.

Very interesting and strange... thanks for sharing that information Cloud Weaver.

Wow that is indeed rather suspicious.  Thanks for the sleuthing!
