I've just been on Amazon UK browsing for the S&S character add-on deck. There is an independent shop named MikeSelinker selling PACG decks for £999 each. As much as I adore this incredibly addictive and immersive game; that price is a bit steep (if it were signed and came with an evening playing with Mike I might consider it!).
I'm assuming Mike isn't running a pirate operation making millions on Amazon - maybe i'm wrong... but that certainly wouldn't fit with the personality of the man I see posting on these forums and BGG. I am however bringing it to your attention so you can shut down the creep that stole your identity for nefarious reasons.
Regards,

Report the guy. You don't have to wait for Mike to do it.

He has offering the signed and evening play as part of a Child's Play event, IIRC. So wait until the next one.
While Amazon, Paizo and Lone Shark (and WotC) are roughly in the same region, I don't think Mike needs to do this.
I was so curious about this, that I went searching for it. Do you mean like this listing?
If so, that is nothing you need to report or be worried about. The seller isn't claiming Mike's name. The seller's name is UR Books (click on the "New from £999" link to see the seller). It looks to me like they entered the information themselves about the product instead of selling under Amazon's listing of the product. They entered the author as MikeSelinker (leaving out the space) and their prices as £999 (I'm hoping they also left out the "." Though maybe they just realized the true value of the product.). So, the only offense there seems to be a malfunctioning keyboard that lacks a space bar and a period.
So, they aren't impersonating Mike. They are just making it really hard to find their products and pricing them so that no one will buy them.
Though maybe they just realized the true value of the product.
Nice.
Do you mean like this listing?
Yes, I did mean that listing. There are other listings too, all for £999, maybe I'm cynical but I can't believe that they missed out the full stop on every item.
PACG products can be pretty difficult to get hold of this side of the Atlantic. Hence subscribing despite the international shipping costs. Maybe they know that some people are so excited about finding the product they use 'One click' and hope the customer doesn't realise until they see their credit card statement.
Thanks for pointing out how to view the seller. They don't seem to have a phone number so I can't speak to the customer service department to ask "why?".
To be honest, I posted this more as an indirect thanks for a great game and to honour Mike who looks after the his customers so diligently on these forums.
