I was contacted earlier this week by a non member using Ragerdyman as his contact name. The inquiry was for several of my rare books listed on the site. Unfortunately I have be unable to successfully reply as Ragerdyman's mailbox has been full on each of the five occaisions & my response is bounced back undelivered.
If Ragerdyman is reading this forum post please can you empty your mailbox & re-contact me.
Many thanks

I hope that he does see this, or you eventually get through. I missed the fact that he was a non-member, and just wasted time looking. Sorry there is little I can do to help.
I can only recommend that you take into account that he might just pop back and look at us once a month. As such this post will go out of front page view. So feel free to repeat this message (or reply below), to keep the title visible if he looks at the Forum title.

I too have been trying to reply to this person following his or her interest in one of my books. I have experienced the same "Mail Box Full" response a number of times. I am not convinced that this is not a malicious and time wasting enquirer.

I have given up now attempting to contact this person after repeatedly sending replies daily for the past week & a half. They all bounced back - 'Mailbox Full'
It is unfortunate as this inquiry was for alot of books - not just one or two.
I tend to agree with 'oldvolumes' there is something not quite right with this.

I also gave up, however I have just been sent a link to an ebay member with the name "ragerdyman" I do not wish to follow it up, but you may wish to. You can use the site to find him and to send the member an email. If you wish. Bonne Chance!!!!!!!

It looks best left alone, I agree. I hope all members can take note of the user name, and be aware if they get a nibble, from this phish? who refuses to bite.
Certainly do not wind up giving any finacial details. If anything more untoward happens, is any one aware if we can have recourse with e-bay?
David and Peter any comments. Although at present it could be only classed as browsing. He may also view repeated follow up correspondance as hassle??

This kind of thing will happen and for a variety of reasons, some of these are :-
1. The enquiry was genuine but their in-box is flooded with spam
2. The enquiry was faked by either online idiots or automated spam-bots
When we first started RareList, we had it so you had to be a member to enquire about books but we realised that few people would bother.
It would be interesting to know the following :-
1. What percentage of non-member enquiries are genuine
2. What percentage of member enquiries are genuine
