edited: this story has been edited by yahoo since i originally posted this,  my quotes that i have posted are from the original story

So if that means he didn't use any "high capacity clips" then where does that leave the anti's argument for banning them?

He could of ordered his ammo from Midway...

Why give a shit?

Uh. I thought you couldn't sell ammo on eBay. Frickin media!!

ETA: Just read the article. It says he bought hi "clips" off eBay and not the ammo.

OP, you might want to change the thread title.

Exactly.  If I ran a bunch of people over in my car, would be media be concerned about where I bought my tires or my gas?

Fucking idiots.

Ban Ebay!!!!1!!!1!For teh childrenz!!!!!111!.................No.....Seriously

I do wonder though how long it's going to be before there's not any more "breaking news" on this shit. Next we'll be hearing about where he bought his supersized high capacity ammo clip vest. You know people only wear those when they go on killing sprees and need lots of clips

Yeah...purchased the "clips" off of eBay.  Now it's eBay's fault I guess.  Ban eBay...ban "hi-capacity clips" Ban everything.

anything to do with guns will be taken of ebay.

It could just be me, but I really dont see any humor in that.

Like the guy or not, in times like this, we really need to stick together.

The local paper reported yesterday that he bought his ammo in the Charlottesville Dick's sporting goods

direct quote from the article

"An eBay account that investigators believe may have belonged to the Virginia Tech killer was used to buy ammunition for the type of gun used in the rampage, according to information on the auction site"

now it does state the he bought magazines too, they also stated the above.

You can buy brass and lead on eBay, but this bozo doesn't strike me as a reloader. I'll bet said "ammunition" turns out to be airsoft pellets. (Which, if the media even bothers to correct their mistake, will be described as the "high velocity, cop killing, armor piercing" variety, of course.)

I wonder where he purchased the chain and padlock


Maybe it'll make front page tommorrow

I won't rest until I know what he had for dinner 2 nights prior!

Tech gunman bought ammo clips on eBay By ADAM GELLER and CHRIS KAHN, Associated Press Writers

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Virginia Tech killer went to eBay to buy ammunition clips for one of the types of guns he used in the rampage, a spokesman for the auction site confirmed Saturday.

ADVERTISEMENT


Using the handle Blazers5505, Seung-Hui Cho bought two 10-round magazines for the Walther P22 — one of two handguns used in the massacre of 32 people. The clips were bought March 22 from a gun shop in Idaho.

"It's apparent that he purchased the empty magazine clips," eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said. "They're similar to what could be purchased in any sporting goods store around the country."

On eBay and affiliated sites, Cho also sold several books with violent themes, tickets to Hokies football games, and a graphics calculator that contained several games.

"The calculator was used for less than one semester then I dropped the class," he wrote.

Cho's eBay feeback rating from other users was superb — 98.5 percent. Only one person gave him a negative rating. The site says the person has had an account since January 2004.

On the eBay-affiliated Web site half.com, several books were listed for sale under the screen name "blazers5505."

They include "Men, Women, and Chainsaws" by Carol J. Clover, a book that explores gender in the modern horror film; the publisher's note reads: "Do the pleasures of horror movies really begin and end in sadism?"

Others include "The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre," by H.P. Lovecraft; and "The Female of the Species: Tales of Mystery and Suspense" by Joyce Carol Oates — a book in which the publisher writes: "In these and other gripping and disturbing tales, women are confronted by the evil around them and surprised by the evil they find within themselves."

Books by those three authors were taught in his Contemporary Horror class, meaning he could have been merely selling the used books at the end of the semester.

Computer forensics have played a major role in the investigation into Cho's motives. Authorities are examining the personal computers found in his dorm room.

Experts say that when the subject of an investigation is a loner like Cho, such records can be a rich source of information.

An examination of a computer is "very revealing, particularly for a person like this," said Mark Rasch of FTI Consulting, a computer and electronic investigation firm. "What we find ... particularly with people who are very uncommunicative in person, is that they may be much more communicative and free to express themselves with the anonymity that computers and the Internet give you."

Andy Koch, Cho's suitemate from 2005-06, said he never saw Cho receive or send a package. He said if a student receives a package from FedEx or UPS, it is usually delivered to the dorm, and a note is left on the door if the student is not home.

Cho's computers likely will hold records of any e-mail communications he had. But they could also show the topics he researched, online purchases he made, his essays and diaries and photos.

Investigators also are seeking his cell phone records on the theory that he may have warned someone about what would become the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

"Seung-Hui Cho is known to have communicated by cellular telephone and may have communicated with others concerning his plans to carry out attacks on students and faculty at Virginia Tech," police wrote Friday in an affidavit seeking records from cellular service provider Verizon Wireless.

A spokesman for Verizon Wireless, Jeffrey Nelson, declined to comment Saturday.

Wow the media can't tell the difference between a "clip" and a "magazine".

At least the Ebay moron combined them - "magazine clips"

this was the original version of this before they changed it. when i click on that link this is what it still reads. not my fault they go back and changed the story


BLACKSBURG, Va. - An eBay account that investigators believe may have belonged to the Virginia Tech killer was used to buy ammunition for the type of gun used in the rampage, according to information on the auction site.

The eBay account holder with the handle Blazers5505 also sold several books with violent themes and tickets to Virginia Tech football games and lists Blacksburg as the account's address.

A search warrant affidavit filed Friday stated that investigators wanted to search Seung-Hui Cho's e-mail accounts, including the address [email protected].

The account holder recently bought two 10-round magazines for the Walther P22 — one of the weapons used in the massacre. The clips were bought from a gun shop in Idaho.

He also sold a graphics calculator that contained several games, and bought many books about violence, death and mayhem.

"The calculator was used for less than one semester then I dropped the class," he said.

His eBay rating was superb — 98.5 percent. Only one person gave him a negative rating. The site says the person has had an account since January 2004.

Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said investigators are "aware of the eBay activity that mirrors" the Hotmail account. "If that is in fact Cho's account, I don't know."

The eBay material is part of investigators' efforts to pore through electronic records for a hint as to Cho's motives.

Authorities sought Cho's cell phone records on the chance he warned someone about what would become the nation's worst mass shooting in modern history. They also hope to glean any relevant information from his e-mail and that of Emily Hilscher, one of the first two victims.

"Seung-Hui Cho is known to have communicated by cellular telephone and may have communicated with others concerning his plans to carry out attacks on students and faculty at Virginia Tech," police wrote Friday in an affidavit seeking records from Verizon Wireless.

Another possible clue: his phone calls home to his parents. The affidavit states that Cho made regular calls home on Sunday evenings.

Police also sought warrants for Virginia Tech e-mail records in their hunt for a connection between Cho and Hilscher, who was killed at West Ambler Johnston Hall.

Another affidavit sought Cho's records from the student health center, and police obtained his medical and counseling files. The contents of the affidavits were first reported by ABC News.com.

there i edited the title since i got alot of cry babies crying over title.  

I just read through it, the title says clips.

As I read through it they switched to 'magazines', then back to 'clips' whats the dillio?

It's the old 30 clip more thrust per squeeze magazine thingy going on again.  

Local Boise news just reported that he purchased magazines from a local dealer via the internet, and that he purchased 10 round magazines. Does that mean he used "low capacity" magazines? Ya I know, its retarded to call them that, but if he did, it may help to point out how absurd those magazine restrictions are.

The point being for the news media that you shouldn't able to buy/sell clips through the internet.

They were for the Walther P22 that he also used.  P22 mags only hold 10 rds.

Not that it really fucking matters, BUT...

Has there been any independent confirmation that "Mr. McBeef" actually used regular capacity Glock magazines during his kill crazy rampage?  

SHOCKING

this shit pisses me off....



fucking idiots

We have a winner.


That is why we really need to watch the next few months. Also why I dont think the comment about him hopefully buying the ammo form ammoman was funny. As firearm owners we have to fight to keep our right to protect ourselves and our families.
We dont need to be breaking ranks right now when it comes to things like what cho did.

Quoted: anything to do with guns will be taken of ebay.

+1, dont want it, but it will probably happen

Man, I buy almost all of my ammo and mags "over the internet". I better go turn myself in.

Oh great, how long before Ebay bans any thing gun related.

Yeah, I am trying to figure out how he did this because I was pretty sure that E-bay did not allow sale of anything except Airsoft parts.
