They all have a symbol with three stars followed by another symbol. Example: 4*7 a*n and so on. Are these fakes or what? -------------------- Reference Pokemon Platinum: 2234 9978 2688 Banner by George2FRESH

Do you understand how the bidding process on Ebay works? Even if it displays a low bid, those users might have posted a much higher bid. -------------------- i

if at first you dont succeed redefine success Group: Members Posts: 7000 Member No.: 39 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	It didn't used to be like that but they block the names like that now. When they first started this I was confused and thought that the same people were outbidding me on the stuff I was bidding on, because of the similar names. -------------------- Gamertag: Nickshorts Wii Code 4638354374090569 Animal Crossing City Folk: Name: Nick Town: Pocky Code: 4554-4070-9159 Get ready for pokemon black!! ...Eventually! http://mfgg.taloncrosssmurfing.com/index.p...howtopic=167562
