Buying from Cycloneking

[ImJustKCClone]

I've only had great experiences on here buying and selling tickets, but there seems to be more new members with no other posts now selling tickets. I don't remember that being the case in years past.

When I sell, I usually check the posting history of the buyer. If everything they have done has been on the ticket exchange, that screams scalper to me. Since I typically don't gouge, I don't want a scalper buying them from me and turning around and selling them for a 250% markup.

My wife gets most tickets through FB friends, so I don't worry about it.

Makes you think. I've learned from this never buy off a new member. Wonder if it's worth restricting posting privileges in ticket exchange to established members.

Require anyone posting tickets for sale to be vetted by a Mod. Or create a special vetting team. I would be willing to serve on something like that.

It’s really too bad that this occurred. I know I’ve sold to a lot of people on this website and often transfer tickets before I even get paid. Generally feel that people on this website are good with their word. A word to the wise, if the seller is saying they are a season ticket holder then they can transfer tickets instantly.

Bought Iowa/ISU tickets this fall on here. Turned out to be my dentists husband. Forget his username, but I recommend him.

Might not be a bad idea to just comment on someone's profile that you had a successful ticket transaction so that future buyer/sellers can take a quick peek at their profile and confirm. Quick/easy way to help self-regulate this stuff

Doubt it will come to anything but I did go ahead and file a cyber crime complaint with the FBI and sent them his Venmo/PayPal information

I filed an FBI complaint about two years ago and the guy got busted pretty hard and they took down an accomplice too. Not ticket scams, something else.

Excellent suggestion...unless you come up against people who keep their profiles private.

That’s the guy. I heard him say he was also a player/coach while getting his doctorate summa cum laude on the GI bill.

Never trust a pongid.

Haha! I did have to look this up.

Haha! There would be far worse things. His approval would actually be very good.

I know you're kidding, but I just wanted to throw that in.

Can't make it up and still unconfirmed but photos (that do look like him) surfaced today of him as a drag queen in Brazil.

I would have no issue being listed as Cycsk approved.

Cycsk approval is earned, not given!
