Just had a look at the ricardo auction platform and discovered that you and Rudi are competing on several auctions. Why don't you create a buyer consortium?

Concerning validity of Superpoints: If you get stuck with too much points, you can still use them to buy towels, duvets and so on at the Coop City stores at a rate of 100:1


Hi

No, I was smart enough not to buy any points from them anymore, once they said they will only sell me with a big payment. They also showed me an email, that they won a million points with a coop game. Coop said, if there would be such a game, the winner woulf for sure not get a email telling him that he won. Last week I wanted to get rid of some points, so I put them up on Ricardo for a very high price, the same guy with a diffrent name bought it. He paid right away and asked me to dend him 300000 extra, the money is on its way. Well the proof he send me was very badly forged and I realized the same bank account. So I send him the points he paid for and said get lost. They really must think people are dumb, cant ven change accounts. I know of at least three other people the tried the same game

A buyer consortium will be way to complicated, since a lot of people will want to join. Most people know eachother and try not to compete on the same auction. If there is a promotion and like now only for a short time, its very hard not to bid on a auction, that nobody has placed a bid, that you know.

Superpoints will never (never does not exist in these times) be totally worthless, since you can always go shopping with them in Coop City, the risk of keeping them is quite small, I would say much smaller then UBS stocks ;-)
