Hey everyone. I am posting this because I am a little upset about how Solid Brix Studios has handled his base contest. As most of you know I did place 1st with my Clone Base on Teth. I feel 2 months to send out prizes is plenty enough time. I would like to get my prizes soon and if I don't, I think hosting a contest is a scam if you don't send out prizes that you promise people to send out. Also no communication the past month hasn't helped. Thanks.
Assuming Solid Brixs Studios is reading this, I will delete this photo if I get my prizes. But until then it shall stay up.

Elena is 30 with her birthday on May 27th. Height is 5,7 and weight 54 kg. She lives in Kirov. She has finished medical university and worked as the second surgeon in a small clinic for 3 years.
She is single with neither children, nor boyfriend and sometimes feels very lonely. It’s difficult to know why “her” pictures appear in scam forums.
Her father cleared off when her mother was pregnant, and so was brought up by just her mother who has since died.
She never got round to asking me for money
Since late 2015 I have been receiving a succession of emails from “Russian women”, all of whom found my address “on the internet”, or was provided by “a dating agency”.
As normal with suspected scammers, I play along with them, and collect their photos and whatever documents they choose to provide; eventually I check to see if they’ve been used by other scammers.
This introduction will be applied to all uploads; I use initials from their first name and from part of their email address to “identify” them. Sometimes, of course, they change addresses.
This one is K o v a l v a l k a, who uses the name V a l e n t I n a. I have seen one of these photos as a scammer. She is 35, single, no children and is seeking a man for serious and honest relationship, living in Saransk, working as a sales manager. She really does look forward to my letters – even when I don’t say anything at all. After a while she visited a travel agency to find out about visas to my country – except, as normal, I never told her my country. Plenty of scope for misinformation. Be that as it may, she wants to live with me and sleep in my bed, and more importantly – she wants MONEY, for tickets. Well, I never saw that coming.
And she wants sex as well: “I want Hot, impetuous, spontaneous sex somewhere in
the unusual place - on the beach, in the elevator, a fitting room to a cabin, on a football field, at movie theater, (sic) a compartment of the train, on a bench in park, a back seat of a car, in the abandoned house, a toilet of restaurant … That you f u c k me is constant. Here that I want.” She also seems to have a dominatrix fetish.
However, she got bored after I didn’t send her money
Definite first: received a 419 advance-fee fraud letter (aka Nigerian scam) via actual snail mail. Wondering what to do. Take it to the cops?
She's from the Congo, but in now in Dakar, and is 23 single and no children. "Fair in complexion", and is looking for a "nice man, kind and caring". Cynic that I am, I guess being kind and caring involves her father's fortune. Update: yes, I thought so - daddy was m. Jeannot Bemba with £4.5m in an international bank outside the country, (I assume not in Congo): this is a first - a balance in sterling rather than dollars
The link to use is the one on the lower right hand corner labeled "Report item"
All the evidence seems to suggest that something shady is going on in this seller's listings. They all start out at $0.99 to generate bidding interest, but it seems the seller has another eBay account, o***t(1) with the following 30-day bid history:
Total bids: 403
Items bid on: 139
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 100%
It seems this is evidence of shill bidding, which means using other accounts to jack up the bidding price. When o***t(1) ends up winning these auctions, it exposes the second-highest bidder's highest bid, and once the auction ends the seller might offer the second-highest bidder a "Second Chance" purchase option, claiming that the highest bidder (o***t) is no longer a registered user or otherwise failed to honor their winning bid.
(note: the tags entered are the names of some of the Pullips that had been in this seller's listings)
Here's the scam e-mail I got that fooled me. :( Note the extremely prominent "Protect Yourself From Identity Theft" graphic, which in retrospect is probably one of the main reasons I didn't see how suspicious the Subject line, From: line, To: line, and hover URL were.
In my defense, I moved recently and haven't yet updated my address on all my credit cards and various accounts: I thought that Paypal had detected one of these address discrepancies. Dang it. I hate feeling stupid. But this is pretty convincing.

This is the innards of a Diesel Audio "NS-2.2" car audio capacitor.
The big metal can is what you see on the outside, the far smaller toilet paper roll thing is the actual capacitor. The rest of the can is mostly empty space aside from a few inches of black epoxy at the bottom to give it some artificial weight.
I did a very rough capacitance test by measuring the discharge time through a 12-ohm 10-watt resistor - I get an RC constant of about 2.5, which works out to an actual capacitance of around 0.21 farads instead of the 2.2 advertised.
