Can you say fraud??? A fake picture, check or money order only, and the entire description for a $300K card reads:
Quote:This card was found in my attic along with several other cards. To my surprise the card is very valuable 
I'm not looking to make top dollar on this card but would like to make something out of it. Let me know if you have any further questions.

3 bids...
says the sellers store/account have been closed
Which is where I'm sure many of the existing rinky dink sites will end up.
Over 5,000 email addresses and other personal data to sell to the highest bidder. How nice.
Lets see how long it take PSUcks to get the story.
They are over there having a serious discussion about Auxoo....wow, they never learn do they? At least with Google getting super strict on duplicate listings, sellers won't be able to list at every site that will have them.

Richie is violating the terms of HiBidder's privacy policies The site had 2 slightly different privacy policies-one for the main site and one for the forums . Both policies state member info will not be sold, and they also state members will be notified if HiBidder changes the terms of its privacy policy.
If you're a former HiBidder member and want Richie to honor the terms of his privacy policy I'd suggest filing complaints with the Idaho Attorney General and the FTC.

I almost went over and posted a link from PSU back to this post but decided to leave them to their ridiculous little fantasy world.
It's bizarre that sellers willingly ignore a complete lack of ethics with regard to Rich's real life business and real life partner. For some reason, they - his customers - think they're special. They were told up front that HiBidder was a hobby but still expect to be treated better or differently than people in his real life. Even after Rich abandoned the site for nearly a year.
I don't expect to see anyone object to the sale of their info. They're doped up on Kool-Aid and wrapped in cozy warm fantasies.

Sites that have probably already either sold
or shared their info to someone not remotely mentioned in the site policies and privacy statements prior to Hibidder:
Plunderhere, Auctionquests, Alsoshop, Your High Bid, Overnight Auctions...
Instead of tying all the Probid site names, visit his Probidscripts.com forum and find every Probid site link in that forum. The site owner likely either has or at some point had access to each without a word about "outside contractors" mentioned in the stock Probid privacy policy they all use.
Nothing is secure in the rinky dink world.
And of course the most unethical site owner of them all, KaAndRay of Wagglepop Spam Fame.

Yeeech! I'll leave it to others to go spelunkin' that forum and take your word that the list is far more extensive than most realize. The site owner has had access? Howz about the site owner
and a pool of global sub-contractors hired based on low bids. What a wonderful way to inspire confidence and trust!
Last week Nisan Auxoo/Plunderhere removed the replicainchina.com link from his signature shortly after a link was posted on PSU
Today Richie removed HiBidder from SEDO within 2 hours of when a link was posted on PSU.
