Because some people have hillbilly mentality and will not bid on your item if they can go back and see that you bought it for less than you are selling it for.
I could care less if someone has two, three, or however many accounts. All that matters is if you like what they are selling and if you are willing to pay for it.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SuperNovaSS</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Cool line lock. John, why would you use a different buying name than selling name? I have seen others who do this and I do not understand it. What do you have to hide? People are so secretive and I don't understand it. Being an open book makes things much simpler in my opinion. If you want to see what I sell look at my selling history and if you want to see what I bid on look at my bidding history.

Wow 396l35 that line lock reminds me of the old wreckers we used to to with. Had the same thing on one side and the PTO engagement on the other, I believe. Holmes 440 body with the big sling and chains. Then came plastic bumper covers and lower ride heights which brought wheel lifts into being.

Jason, as for the different I.D.'s, I'd rather let the anonymity of the ebay auctions insulate me from any online acquaintances I may have made. It's too much grief for me to do business otherwise.

I believe that a five dollar bill is still worth five dollars, even if you found it laying on the ground. I have no problem buying something I need if I want it. Doesn't make any difference if you got it for free or if you are selling it at a loss. If it has a value to me is all that matters. Same goes with my selling. I don't have to make a profit on something I paid too much for. Sometimes it's better to get rid of it and make room and collect the dollars so I can buy something else that will make a profit. In the long run, all I can say is I'm way ahead using that logic.
