**** it, here we go. The user in question is itzmeluigi
Hi geekhack, this guy is a scammer. He recently made an account on reddit for the sole reason of scamming people. Here is the evidence to back my claim:
His alleged alternate account:
https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/584x50/meta_scammer_uthisisawesome1226/He's scammed people using an RS96/RS78/HHKB. ****ty, right? It appears this user was based in MA. itzmeluigi owns every single one of these boards. Not particularly damning, right? Hold on.
Here's our illustrious user's initial ban from mechmarket, reddit's marketplace for all things mkb:
https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/4lyehq/meta_scammer_uitzmeluigi/Full disclosure, I am the user he had a dispute with. The finer details are not that important and you can glean what happened from the linked post. What is important was that he was doing some weird, defaming things that day, so I took a screenshot of his heatware at the time.
Here it is:

Neat stuff in the comments to demonstrate this man's rage:

So bear with me here. The timestamps' handwriting of itzmeluigi matches thisisawesome1226's timestamp quite well. This was honestly a bit lazy on his part but let's look at his penmanship.

http://imgur.com/iCUcvmoAll timestamps are taken on a black wooden desk. All timestamps use a black marker. I know that's really not much by itself, but things are starting to add up.
Look at the 'i' and '6' in particular.
Let's move on.
http://imgur.com/GBGJ26oThis is a cached version of thisisawesome1226's post history. He's deleted his profile while covering his tracks, but google still remembers. Look at that first post. A TGR A17 with cyrillic keycaps. Now if you check this guy's post history, you'll see he's a big fan of cyrillic keycaps. He even says he's got all sets of enjoyPBT cyrillic caps in his post history.
Well what do we have here?!
http://imgur.com/9sVVXp6Looks like a TGR A17 with...cyrillic keycaps. Now, we can't just damn a man for having the exact same keyboard as another person...can we? Wait...hold on...His cached comment says vintage MX blacks 55, gold stabilizers, and BSP cyrillic. Hmmmm. Oh ****, that's the same keyboard itzmeluigi is selling! Since he has a bad habit of deleting things, here:
