Re: Markpoon McFlys on eBay. Scammer. Member here ?

Hi all, I am a new commer to this site and what brought me to here was the fact I could not buy the air mags. With them being auctioned, I knew the prices would become outrageous! Anyway, I've wanted these shoes since 89 and only started looking elsewhere once I learned that Nike will never mass produce them. So to comment on the influx of noobs in the JW... I can't speak for everyone, but I can say I'm not here to make a quick buck. I really love the shoes and will be wearing them a few times then converting them for my own collection. Anyone looking to cash in on the recent hype is just sick for tricking people.

And, I have also reported that scammer's auction to eBay. Let's hope it gets canceled or the winner realizes it's a scam.

I know two of the new IDs buying shoes in the JY are from Australia. They list different locations in Australia, but I wonder if they are the same guy from eBay buying more? Maybe even Mitchell Laine!!

Ummm. That is Markpoon's Ebay listing. He gives us a discount for $190 shipped and sells them to non-RPF'rs for more. Nothing wrong with that.

But now your badmouthing will live in infamy!!!! :lol

Maybe thats our own guy.. the BIN is 200. Nothing strikes me as odd there.

Not that I agree with people lying about their wares on ebay, but i think its time to put down the pitch forks... the mob mentality here may come back to bite us or our own shoe maker.

There will be LOTS more of these items coming up on ebay for crazy prices with all this hype of the shoes. Even now, I see items from other RPF members, with large price tags on ebay, cashing in on the craze.. nothing wrong with that.

The first guy yeah he needed to be reported, done.. you guys did that.. its up to ebay now and the common sense of the bidders.. know what your buying.. who knows.. maybe they do.

Lets take it down a couple of notches. Nobody has appointed us ebay police, judge and jury.

What I find odd is that Mark's pair of shoes are at a BIN of 200 and are a near perfect replica of the BTTF Shoes yet there are shows selling $800+ yet his shoes have only had one buyer so far. Seems odd to me.

I think they havent been up for long, also mark is being honest about what they are and they need quite a bit of work before getting closer to screen used accuracy (logos and lights).

Even still, I'm betting he wont have any trouble selling out in no time.

No worries guys. Mark is not in the US but I believe he lists them as in the US to make the buyers feel more comfortable about buying them. Some people are warry of sellers abroad.

Just wanted to say as a newish member myself, I understand the apprehension towards new members, especially in the junkyard. I have learned alot from threads like this about the scams and recasters and how much of a problem it can be. I truly appreciate the diligence of members like Alan and Brad, and others, in their contributions to making the RPF so awesome !

I agree Mech, there is nothing wrong about anybody trying to cash in on the hype.

This particular guy, however, is a low-life scum-bag who knows exactly what he has, who made them etc (shoes).

While there is nothing to point your finger at on the lisiting, his replies to questions are so full of lies, that it's downright criminal fraud because money is involved.

Some of his statements :

----------------

"These were a sample Pre-release to the Nike Mag 2011 before they were actually perfected & this particular pair were featured by RIF .LA, a consignment store in Los Angeles and in the Sneaker-Pimps Showcase, also featured in Sneaker Freaker Magazine!"

"These were officially made exclusively by a shoe veteran of more than 30yrs who has been custom making shoes for celebrities in Hollywood for many years"

..... and so on.

-----------------


His eBay feedback shows that he collects props, and not only from BTTF.

There is no feedback for him ever buying a pair of Markpoon shoes from anyone, on eBay.

Markpoon only offers a 'COA' here on the RPF, and has produced these only quite recently. Same goes for the EL lights, a recent addition. (again, so much for the 'years' he's had them).

This guy is probably a member here, and the aim of this thread from my part is to find this weasel and get him banned.

As we speak, some poor sucker on eBay is already down by $2200.

And as I said earlier, eBay will do nothing, the listing will remain, and he will sell them. Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it very much.

The BIG probability is that he bought these shoes from right here on the RPF.

That sorta kinda makes us 'responsible' in a weird way.

That's how I feel anyway.
