just to let everyone know ebay has suspended my account again (aleman36). If anyone won cans last week rest assured you will get your cans if you have sent or are sending payment. I got a email from one guy saying ebay sent them a note telling them to stop payment.
Also anyone who had current bids and want the cans(s) they were bidding on and still want them let me know, we can work something out. I guess i will post what i have left on the RB advertise forum in the next week or so. at least ill save on ebay fees.

Is this fallout from the retracted bids over that Croft quart
a couple months back? Odd that they would be so zealous about a
couple retracted bids when they let slide full-blown shill bidding,
scammers, phishing, and gmail accounts from G. only knows with zero
verification that it's a real independent person using it.
A lot of cans sell for less than what they would at shows, I'm guessing
a lot of collectors shy away from ebay now due to all the scamming that
goes on. Speaking of scammers, did Chris Taylor ever get his $$$ back from
the ersatz dealer in PA?
Yeah i think it goes back to the croft,they "connected" me with my old account. Willing to bet someone informed them because i doubt they go searching for things like that....especially since the account wasnt even in my name!

Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I have found dealing with Rusty Bunchers is MORE secure than dealing with anyone on eBay even without the "Protection" that eBay supplies.
I don't mind going around eBay on the "Narragansett PALE ALE" & the "Narragansett LAGER...the tough one!"
that I won.
Everyone who was bidding on my current auctions or won auctions last week got that too. Ill leave it up to you if you stil want the cans, if you could just email me and let me know.
