Why is the acoro55555 account back and selling on ebay after getting kicked off last Sunday? I emailed a friend of mine who had won a comic from acoro55555 before he was booted not to send money. I directed him to this message board so he could read about him. Then on Tuesday he gets an email from acoro55555 telling him the account is active again and to complete the transaction. My friend refuses to complete the deal unless acoro55555 sends the comic first. Originally payment was to be sent to Golden Age Market c/o Amar Youssef and now it's changed to Antiqua 3000 but at same address in Germany ( Dreischenbreite 2, D-31787 Hameln, Germany).

This group shot is now the background on my computer. Bangzoom I've been on the boards for a couple years and don't post often but your comics managed a post from me. I'm very much enjoying the comics and am looking forward to much more.

I reported all three accounts to ebay about 5 days ago. I got a generic automated message from ebay saying they would look into it. I'm not sure if my reporting the accounts had anything to do with him being kicked off. I also won one of Yarecitys auctions under another ebay name without the intention of paying. His email to me for payment details was to send payment to Amar Antiqua 3000 Dreischenbreite 2 D-31787 Hameln Germany The email I got from ebay after the auction closed said to send payment to Amar Youssef Beberstr. 4 31855 Aerzen Deutschland Keep posting here if you find the new ebay account for Wilhelm/Amar

One of the yarecity negatives calls him by name Wilhelm U. He also just got a neutral. All in German so if someone could translate the feedbacks.

Just noticed yarecity got two negatives today. I see the pattern of building up feedback with a lot of low $ buying before turning to selling.

In 1985 I lived in Bakersfield Ca. and saw an ad in the CBG from Wilhelm Uthe with a Detective #38 in VF for sale or trade $1800. I mailed him (not emailed) listing several comics I had that I would be willing to trade. He mailed back with the comics that he wanted which we agreed came to $600 in value. So I would ship the comics along with $1200 cashiers check. At this time he had mailed his phone number along with a couple of U.S. references who he had had comic dealings with. I called one of the references and they said he was a good person to deal with. (make note to self to check background of references in future dealings) This guy was surely one of his U.S. buddies in on a cut of his scams. At this point all seems to go well so I phone Wilhelm to go over the details. Yes this is a very expensive U.S. to Germany phone call but if he was at the number given me and we were to speak then deal should probably be OK. Wilhelm spoke fairly decent heavily German accented English and we agreed I would send the comics valued at $600 plus $1250 cashier check. The extra $50 was to cover the cost of his shipping the Det #38 to me. I was to pay shipping of my comics to him. Comics were shipped with tracking info so I had proof of shipping. I get a letter from Wilhelm stating that he got the comic package but he had miscalculated the postage cost to ship the Det #38 to the states. I just need to send him an additional $160 and the Det #38 would be on its way. I called him and at this point he forgot how to speak English. I now about a week later get a letter entirely in German which I find out is threats if I don’t send the additional money. I now decide to call the German Consulate in Los Angeles and discuss the issue with them. I make an appointment with them and take all of the letters and info I have to state my case. They get all the info and I wait to see what they can do. Several months go by and during this time they keep in touch with me and seem helpful. In the end they say he went to court/trial and was sentenced to three months in jail. I never received any of my comics or money back. I had a house fire in 1997 and lost all my information I had on the case. I called the German consulate last Friday after reading this post and asked if they still had any info on the case I had against Wilhelm. I spoke with an individual who said most information is only kept for five years. I would love to know his ebay ID’s so I could see the comics he’s selling these days. Well here it is 22 years later and I’m sure Wilhelm is doing quite well with all the rip-off stories in this post along with who knows how many others. He probably will in one way or another read this post and get a good laugh or get a warm fuzzy feeling of the good ole days. Wilhelm you will one day be held accountable for all your actions.

Is this maybe an ebay account of his? I don't understand any German but his name is in the about me page under ebay id pumbasimba. This really ticks me off that he's still doing this, something needs to be done. I'm working on the tale I have of Mr. Uthe and will post it before the weekend is up. This guy must have went to the Dupcak school of comic selling.

Wow! I just stumbled across this post at work. I can't go into detail now about my dealings with Mr. Uthe but my bad dealings with him go back to 1985. Sad to see he's still ripping off people. I'm busy this weekend but will find some time to tell you guys my story.
