As far as I see it, this guy simply knows the CPU is rare but he has no clue what a realistic price might be. That's why he accepts offers.
Honestly I don't see anything bad about it. What would you do?
I think it's the same person. The photo is different but has the same background. But maybe I missed something..
(And even if it is a different person I still don't see anything bad about it except a stolen photo)
That is how i lost Diamond Monster MX300 Aureal VorteX II... Some guy saw my AD ( i have ADs on local sites, that i buy off and look for retro) and we did talk business, he wanted like 10-13 euro for that card i was fine with that ofc the card was in pristine condition even better... But since i ask every single guy that shows me something good, or if i spot some goods on AD i ask every time if the serller have more stuff that he did not add to the AD, and i wait if they do have to make pictures so i can see if i will get lucky... Sadly that Diamond MX300 guy was one of the smart ones after 1 day only he send some more pictures but he did got the idea there is ebay, and that these old parts are not as useless as he did think, so he did cancel the sell, later on i saw the same card costing 60 euros and i was like FK that guy...
One time i saw IBM Aptiva 486 (did not need such system, BUT for trades was going to be nice weapon/ ace in the sleeve) it did cost only the funny 15 euros i called the seller saying i will buy the machine, but was later and the seller wanted to be on the next day fine with me.. And what to see 2 hours later the same IBM Aptiva was changed price 3 fucking times 15>40>140 euros i was like what the actual FK.... I called the seller, he acted like he did not talk with me, or the price was not 15 euros i was mad... Talked 15 minutes with him could not make him agree on the fucking price HE did use cursed him good and told hiom to go fuck himself and to lose all the money he will earn from that system and even more. And it was clear it was not mistake, as he rised the price in 2 hours 3 times wtf....
Or a guy that did send me message with Voodoo III 2K AGP and the offer of 3 euro for the card (seems he did think that card is some old garbage) i did accept the generous offer of him ofc, and as usual asked if there are more parts, he said to wait 2-3 days for him to look arround... Then 2 days later he also same as the VorteX II seller, had got the idea these 3Dfx cards was expensive on ebay, he showed me Voodoo Banshee black one as well, and said he will cancer the deal i got really mad started to swear him, and since i did write alot of swears like 5-6 minutes did pass, in that time my anger cooled and i started thinking wtf to do to get at least the closed deal on the Voodoo III as he did offer 3 euros and i did accept meaning the deal is ON, no matter if he wants to backpedal from the deal.. Literally told the guy to act like man and to keep on his word, not like a c**t to backpedal as if he did come to me and ask from the beginning 50-60 euros was going to be whole different story, and literally commanded him to send me the promiced Voodoo III, and to keep the Banshee and sell it on whatever price he wants.. Lickly for me the guy at least acted like a man and sended the Voodoo III card for 3 euros as promised and shanken hands....
One time there was AD for Voodoo Rush Acorp priced only 10 euros, i contacted the seller wanting to purchase the card ofc.. He was like the card is sold, i was like ok. And what to see year later that same piece of lying SHIT selling the same exact card, same exact pictures but the price is now 70 euros, and i know it is him, as i remember the name, saved the account from the previous time, and the pictures are exatly the same... Contacted that lying piece of shit to tell him that i want my card for 10 euros, he was like we did never talk, and he prob does not remember as was like 8 months ago or more... Clever and nasty mother fucker that seller is, to lie the card is sold, instead of sending it, or say he wont sell it to me for 10 euros, cuz he saw it cost alot more.... Whatever sweared him too and told him, the karma is bitch and he will get the same crap from someone else, and feel bad fuck him...
I stopped asking if the seller has more stuff for that exact same reason.
You are god damn right about that... But most of the times i get very lucky when i ask them if there are extra stuff.. I learned from these idiot sellers, that when dealing with ppl to close the deal and shake hands on the first cheap and good thing, and then to talk more about others if there are any.. See these situations, if i did not ask, the guy was not going to show me other stuff, as he and others tends to say ï did not know you ar einterested in others too"
Take for example here the Adaptec PCI controller is one of the best and the CyriX 686 CPU that is what the AD was for.. I asked if there are more and BOOM take a look at that jackpot Hercules S3 Terminator Card, Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold, 3Dfx Voodoo Orchid, Pentium Pro, ASUS CUA (i have no idea wtf with that mobo, it features some strange Alladin chipset, have integrated TNT II card, and no AGP slot 🤣 ) mobo and some other nice stuff..

Or take this case for example, i was contacted by a guy, he was offering socket 370 CPUs, and if i was like nice lets trade, and not ask, all these was going to the dumpster, as he did consider them garbage, and the seller did even forgot about all these that he did had them my question if there are more did remind him of these.... Even more insane jackpot single MSI Tualatin s370 mobo, AOpen dual s370 mobo, ABIT BE6, x2 Pentium III 1.4-S, couple of crap Slot 1 boards, BIOstar, Shuttle.. Yamaha ISA cards, Cele Tualeron Lin-Lin 370 adaptor, that allows the use of Tualeron on some boards such as ABIT BE6/ BE6-II, ASUS SloTket, bunch of more NOname sloTkets crap some new even, bunch of 3Com ISA lan cards, bunch of Tualerons 1.1GHz, 1.2, 1.3...

That is the reason i ask every time for more stuff... I have more situations like the ones on the pictures, but these are enough of proof... Some times if the "human" being on the other side of the monitor is retarded, greedy, nasty or combination of all of them you wont be able to buy even a single thing... After all when you buy/ sell things both sides need to be correct and keep on their word, and not to pull some nasty tricks and try to screw eatch other..
BTW for some reason i like u dont know why, maybe cuz u remind me a bit of an Italian player we did play WoW together, and he was similar way (the so called welcome attitude or something like that), maybe because of that...
