I wouldn't agree with that, judging by the number of complaints we had to the staff regarding him.

There's no bloody way he's a collector because he's giving away all his RARE games


EDIT : Oh he was banned? HAH serves him damn right, nicely played Merlin

Mr. Heaven is having a sale avoiding eBay fees in the process... naughty.

Hi all, I'm offering a massive discount on any games in my ebay shop until the 14th of March. I'm moving to a new office and I am trying to reduce my stock slightly so this is a great chance to take advantage and grab a very nice bargin. Spend £200 on any games or other items (excluding computers & cards) in my shop and then add for free £120 worth of games. So basically spend £320 but pay on £200, this works out at around 40% ! Please use my ebay shop as reference and then email me with a list of item numbers of the games you want for a total of £320 and also state your paypal email address as the invoice will be sent direct from paypal. Please don't buy any of the games directly on ebay as I wont be able to offer the discount this way. All games you select will be closed on ebay stopping anyone else buying them. Please get your choices in quick as it is first come first served. Please get in touch if you have any questions? Shipping rates are fixed and via courier signed for and tracked online and are as follows: UK £12 Europe is between £20 and £38 France is £18 Germany is £20 Spain is £35 USA & Canada £55 Australia £75 Have a great Christmas and New Year.

£320 quids worth? So thats every Amiga game ever produced and ten duplicate copies of each game as well then..... sounds overkill to me.

I've got 50p if he's interested.

3 or 4 games for £320 sounds like a bargain and no fees is that no a suspension?

I got the same email, I do not know where he got my email address (I never had any deal with him), looks there was an emails database leak from EAB or Amibay or Lemon.

They are advertising Loom for £80, i just won it at auction from a private seller for £6.65......

To be honest i didn't expect to win it, last Saturday evening I was watching 2 auctions, Bidded on both then he came in right on the last second and over bid me on both auctions. :\ Was expecting the same tonight...
