C’mon, he’s “A MOST CONSCIENTOUS CUSTOMER” and known for his “smooth as silk” transactions.
What concerns me more are the ‘private auctions’ where this bidder bought a bunch of stuff from some one else. I checked out that sellers other auctions, and they sold pictures - of child stars. lots of them. recent and older. Now, it’s entirely possible that the ‘private auctions’ by that seller are for items totally unrelated to pictures of children. but…
Ok, I’ll bite. How does one see what other things the perv bought?
Copy and paste his name into a search for “bidder”, including closed auctions. It then does a list of things the guy bid on, etc.
You do a search on him as a bidder. You may have to be registered w/ebay in order to do this, tho.
alternatively (and this is how I discovered the “private auction” thing, you can click on his rating number (beside his user name) and it’ll give you his feedback page, then click on the individual items.
:rolleyes: That is just wrong.
I’m sorry, that picture is not real. The seller may have an actual item like that they are going to ship, but the picture in the auction is very badly Photoshopped, and the face looks pasted on the body as well. The proportions don’t look right to me… it seems to be a boy’s head pasted onto a man’s body. (Possibly the seller digitally made this so that he himself couldn’t be accused of making kiddie pr0n? Just a theory.)
No. Oh, no. I didn’t see that. Nope.
Actually, now that I look at it more closely, the face actually looks like a younger woman. You can see the smudging on the chest on the left hand side of the picture and inside the O-ring; the skintone is flat and doesn’t match the rest of the body. The blobs around the shoulders where the straps are might have been where the original photograph had hair or something that was edited out. It’s easy to fudge backgrounds and stuff, but skin is really hard to fake.
And the clothes look entirely phony to me, esp. how they’ve been intentionally blurred in several places.
Thanks, sort of. It looks like Michael Jackson’s bidding history.
A few people commented on other purchases made by the winning bidder.
Did anyone Copy & Paste the list and e-mail to the authorities (FBI or whatever)?
If no one answers yes I’m doing it.
Maybe, just maybe, it could prevent a crime against some unsuspecting pre-teen. I mean Christ, look what just happened to Samantha Runnion.
Since it’s not against the law to bid on pics of clothed children, I don’t know what the FBI could do.
Ugh.
I don’t care even if it is photoshopped. It’s nasty.
Here is a very interesting article about a similar case–a Maryland priest who purchased anatomically correct dolls, photos of altar boys, etc. on ebay and was arrested after a seller became suspicious, tracked down his location, and notified the police.
And you know … my little niece and nephew learned the YMCA dance in kindergarten.
What I’m wondering is whether or not they make the Indain Chief, Construction Worker, Cowboy, Sailor and Cop dance outfits too.
I forget, which YMCA was the bondage and S&M one?
I thought the same thing too (So did someone earlier).
It’s probably one of two things: Either the seller is worried that the authorities could have something on him (Or her? Doubt it), or the guy doesn’t have access to a real kid.
Again, sick, wrong, and most definetely, vile.
As much as I hate the big brother bullshit, I wouldn’t half mind the authorities checking these jokers out (The way I see it, if you’re desperate and careless enough to flaunt it, you’re asking for it *From a personal rights point of view).
I’m also chiming in to say that the photo screams bad Photoshop retouching. It’s the arm on the left (our left) at the shoulder that really tells it. And all of it, really. A bad job. (I used to work as a photo retoucher.)
And yeah, creepy. Blech. I’d hate to think what he’s doing with all these perfectly innocuous pictures of little kids.
OMG, that is so creepy. :eek:
Please excuse me while I go sterilize my eyeballs now. The original auction is more than enough to make me want to beat the designer of such attire senseless, but then, after going through the buyer’s previous wins…uh…I just…well, I think I’d be best off going in for hypnosis, in order to forget the fact that I am even aware of him, or his auction activities.
That’s some seriously fucked up shit right there. Sick.
