Next week, we’ll be selling a laptop, speakers, a PA, a leather jacket, more cellphones, and other widgets. — BEN POPKEN







Numark CD MIX2 DJ MIXER – Used, easy, reliable, fun!!!
Is that an implied warranty I see there?
Consumerist resorts to shameless commerce…
I thought PayPal was evil???
From Ben’s feedback page:
“WE REFUNDED YOU FOR THE ITEM. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?”
OK, gotta get the backstory here…
d-link router? i thought you said everything worked well…
@rekoil: This place was selling these hard-to-find shoes I really wanted then they canceled the auction and refunded my money and wouldn’t tell me anything. I kept asking them for an explanation and they wouldn’t respond. So I gave ‘em a negative rating for totally ignoring me and they responded in kind.
@acambras: Sure, it is, but it’s still less evil than check fraud.
Who’s the preggo?

@medalian1: I’m a male pregnancy test patient.
@rekoil:
Hmmmm. I see that Ben was known on eBay until very recently as, “allianceplastique”. Checking Google… as, yes… he has a flickr account. Two photos, one animated GIF.
What? The photos from March 27th, 2006 were taken private? Let’s see… Google Cache…. ah. Ben! Is that you?
@mantari: Nope.
Here I thought ya’ll would be ebaying Consumerist T shirts, jerseys, and baseball caps. Poo.
@rekoil: Hi rekoil!
@mantari: If I could only find a woman like that…Used, easy, reliable, fun!!!
Why are you selling Wii Sports, as anyone who owns a wii has wii sports. The only people that would need wii sports are people who own wii’s.
@thereviewer: Some people may have seen their original wii sports disc get scratched beyond belief by their kids.
Just sayin!
“Next week, we’ll be selling……a PA…”
PA = ??? Personal Assistant??? Prince Albert???
I don’t know what kind of operation you’re running, but I think I’ll be going now (backing quickly towards the door)
@PDQ:
PA = Public Address system or loudspeaker
Does this mean Consumerist will now publish free display ads with links to commenters’ eBay auctions? Count me in!
Who, pray tell, are you trying to pass Wii Sports off on?
And if you do a “Buy It Now” transaction, Ben will throw in a photo of him using the item and a ‘special’ message just for your ladies.
Correction: just for *you* ladies.
Wait, I thought I typed in Consumerist, not Craiglist.
And you didn’t Digg this? You need to step it up in the marketing/promotions department.
I wonder what a consumer advocate would think about an employee using his employer’s valuable web real estate to promote his own ebay store. Or will Nick Denton receive a percentage of your profits?
The best part is that Gawker Media paid you for your own advertising!
And what is wrong with HYIPs, may I ask
Do tell us the story behind your negative…
“Ddn’t ship item and refunded money. No response to repeated emails.”
For that you left a negative? No wonder the guy left you one in return. Thats gray-worthy in my book.
For those wondering, the item was “NEW ADIDAS SAMBA 85 SZ 9.5 INDOOR SOCCER 82 SUPER STAR”
